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 KingdomNo covered area outside for people to sit under, it rained the whole time I was there and being someone who vapes, it was an issue.
Lovely breakfast, super staff and a homely vibe, animals are allowed too. I slept so well, the bed was very comfortable, lovely linen, fluffy towels, food was good as well. Lots of parking available and nice views of the sheep in the fields. I really enjoyed my stay.

United KingdomThe room booked was described as a "superior twin room" . It was very small (room 4) and a bit of a disappointment. On a previous stay the " superior twin room" allocated was number 10 - a much bigger and more comfortable room. I'd like to return again but would ask, if possible, for room 10 or similar.
The situation was lovely and close to the hills for walking trips. It was very clean. The food was good and staff very helpful.

United KingdomJust a couple of niggly things. The food on the night was ok....just fine. Ok if you wanted fried food...cant go wrong with that! The breakfast was ok too, we had to ask for toast though, abit stingy there. Plus...10am check out on a Sunday is not great....11am at least would make it more of a break away!
Good location, warm comfortable and staff were very pleasant.

United KingdomThere are different stds of room and some of my colleagues didnt sleep too well in the twin rooms. The showers seemed to be inconsistent too, with a couple of comments about them being a bit cold. The location is fine if you're just looking for a quiet place with good food, but there isnt a lot going on in the immediate surroundings....but that's the Scottish Borders ! so cant complain about that
All in all, a good choice of hotel. food was excellent (both breakfast and evening meal) with a good choice. staff were friendly and welcoming, and my room in general was OK.

Great location close to shore. We did liked the massive fireplace in hotel restaurant and overall it felt "like home". Breakfast was amazing with plenty to choose from. We loved the morning vibe of the place. Staff was friendly and kind. Dinner at the place was ok, but not great.

United KingdomNo staff on site overnight. Is this allowed? The place needs upgrading as it is very dated and tatty in many areas. Beer choices rather unexciting but wine list was ok.
Breakfast very good, though if you didn’t want a cooked breakfast then there didn’t seem to be much choice. Evening meal was decent. Staff were all pleasant and helpful and service was good but the place was very quiet. Dog friendly. EV ChargePoint. Room was a decent size and bed comfortable. Good location only 30 mins south of Edinburgh.

GermanyThis time around I was a little disappointed with the service in general. Dinner and breakfast food were ok but for some reason it didn’t feel very friendly nor as pleasant as my first visit alas.
It’s a lovely place and is conveniently located for our road trips (and even has an EV charging station)

United KingdomThe room was dusty and full of cobwebs. The windowsill was very dusty and there was black mould in the bathroom. The noise from the road was almost unbearable and we did not sleep well. The fringe festival was on so I guess that’s why the room was £115 bed and breakfast but the room was not clean enough to be worth it. I mentioned it to the lads on the reception but they’re were very young lads and did not really know how to deal with my complaint or know what to say. They eventually say they would pass it on but on return after the tattoo the room had not been cleaned. We had breakfast in a room where it was so dark we could not see. When we asked to move we were told the tables in the lighter area had been booked. My mum is 86 and does not like to make a fuss. This was a long trip for her and the hotel was disappointing.
The staff were really friendly and the breakfast was nice.
