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 KingdomThe building was not finished, and there was no human meet and greet. The instructions on gaining access were long and complicated. It was unnerving to enter a silent building past the dark and derelict bar. The decoration was patchy and missing small but crucial facilities such as a towel rail. The loo seat was precarious. The lack of breakfast was serious. But good luck with the project.
10/10 for attempting to renovate this important historic property. It has been and I hope will be again a beautiful building.

United KingdomThe unmanned check-in is a total pain. The "emergency" contact number is just an automated message in a robot voice. Met other guests that had the same issues getting access initially. The details weren't sent in time for 3pm check in, and the website to do the check in didn't recognise my booking number for first 40 mins. Even just having a human on a phone would make this so much easier to deal with.
Both rooms were freshly decorated. Beds were comfy. Not too noisy and very well located.

United Kingdomelectrical wiring seemed dodgy. location of plug sockets. someone else’s clothes left in room. unpainted plaster wall in room. no thought given to how customer will use space eg proximity of mirror and plug for hairdryer, no hooks or shelves in bathroom (which is very cramped), sash window unsafe (dropped down dangerously) Nit the property’s fault but there is nowhere in Kircudbright to get breakfast before 10am. Expected better for price charged.

United KingdomThe rooms cleanliness could be improved. The trash bin was overflowing when I got there, and a towel is left on the bathroom floor in a heap, making me wonder if things are changed after the last guest left. I also saw a bug in the bed at night.
The location was great, very central and only minutes away to places I wanted to go. The room is very spacious with a nice street view. The self checkin seemed a bit confusing at first but was actually very straightforward and flexible. The staff sent me all the info I needed beforehand and were welcoming.

United KingdomA well appointed location, quiet, very central and close to local area of green to sit and read with great view across the Solway Firth Self-check in was easy although there was perhaps too much reminding beforehand to check emails on how to do this - a facility to respond to the owners that this has been done might be an idea. Will certainly book there again.

United StatesWe were initially anxious about getting into the hotel since there was no reception, but it all worked out very well.
We liked being in the heart of Kirkcudbright and had wonderful walks nearby. The restaurant next door was grand for morning coffee, scones, breakfast. There was no management present but the directions for getting into the building and into our room were excellent and worked well. We had a window onto a main street of Kirkcudbright and could enjoy watching the locals passing through and by, but the streets were very quiet at night for sleeping. They provided a very nice variety of cookies for our tea. The room was bright and cheery. We enjoyed being there.

One of the buttons to move upwards is not working, so children couldn't watch TV. Shouldn't be advertising as a boutique. It's a basic room and nothing more.
