Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

United KingdomStaff was very welcoming and ready to give local advice, the room was good and clean, the bed comfortable but the hotel is a bit on the pricey side. Apart from that it was an overall good experience!

United KingdomStaff excellent - lovely breakfast Room fine but shower needs complete renovation - soap dish far too high up - height of shower not adaptable (broken) silicone round base of shower does not look clean and needs totally replaced ie complete new shower would make a vast difference Stairs very steep and bannister not suitable for holding on properly (doubt if it would pass health and safety)

United KingdomHotel is quirky and little bit rough round the edges decor wise which is 100% fine for me but if you are very picky, take note. Kinda wanted full breakfast but not offered - what I had was great but wee bit more traditional would be amazing
very friendly welcome - staff great. Room clean and had everything you could want.

United KingdomThe stairs could do with another banister on the left hand side. I only say this as they are old stairs and my partner has poor eye sight, but we went down carefully and managed fine.
the breakfast was hot spot on and served with lovely lady. Entrance to the hotel was also no problem and very handy.

United KingdomWas quite expensive but guess it was peak season so fair enough. Room was very small and bathroom was super compact. Very thin walls, when my fellow guests came in I could hear everything. Had to play 20 questions when booking my breakfast slot. If it had been twenty pounds cheaper I wouldn't have cared but had stayed in much much better rooms just down the coast on same trip for same money.
Friendly staff and pretty decent location two minutes walk from town. Room was very clean.

United KingdomThe room was much smaller than I had anticipated but it was clean. The en-suite was also very compact which might impact on guests with mobility issues. Ditto, with the steepish staircase and its handrail. All accommodation in North Berwick is currently expensive (high season) but, once breakfast is included, the price I paid for my room at the Folly Hotel was not exorbitant.
Although I could hear some noise from other guests, my room was essentially quiet during my stay and I slept well. The breakfast was good, although the coffee always seemed to be on the weak side. The female staff were friendly, efficient and courteous and deserve a special mention.

United KingdomAs an older person the shower entry and exit was a bit uncomfortable due to the high step in and out of the cubicle. Also I would feel much safer with a handrail at the staircase . The one on the wall at present offers no opportunity for a safe descent on the narrow and a little steep staircase should one stumble.
The location was very well situated to easy access to all amenities . The car parking space was good to have with easy close and close access from hotel.

United KingdomWalls are very thin and thus you hear everything going on in other rooms. Floor Boards very creaky, wouldnt mind this if it was only mine i could hear.
Breakfast was not applicable as i was leaving before the Breakfast opened. The reception did offer me something to take away but i declined.
