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.).

This place provides a very good accommodation for people travelling and visiting Scotland by road. The rooms have been fully renovated, they are very comfortable and the food is just amazing. In top of that there is some scary legends link to the place. The nights can be very sleepless and sweetie or sweaty ?

United KingdomRoom didn't seem clean and facilities are tired and need some tlc. Room was dated. Holes in bedding. Could do with modernising and brought up to same standards as other areas of the hotel. Restaurant service was very slow.
Food was really good and bed was comfortable. Staff were polite. Location was convenient for the purpose of my stay.

United KingdomRoom was very small and had nowhere to hang clothing though I was given a couple of coat hangers when asked staff which I had to hang on large mirror and had to drape my jacket on recessed window bench where I also had to store suitcase to keep limited floor space clear. Bathroom was freezing cold and no obvious way of switching on heated towel rail radiator. Could also maybe do with a little tlc.
I liked the look and ambience of the public spaces and the food ( had dinner one night of my stay as well as breakfasts) was very good. The staff were friendly and helpful at all times and a credit to the Inn. It was situated perfectly for my purpose to attend a family wedding. My bed was very comfortable and on the whole very clean.

United KingdomNothing really apart from a long walk into Dalkeith. We cheated - had a beer and got a taxi back to the Sun Inn.
Friendly staff, excellent dinner / breakfast. Comfortable, adequate room. Good point not made clear on website - large carpark.Looks like work still in progress and going well. Outside areas looked good but wrong time of year to sample. Would use again.

United KingdomUnfortunately I was allocated a room at the front of the property and with being a light sleeper found it hard to get a good nights sleep due to the constant road noise. The en-suite bathroom was dated, falling to pieces and a mouldy shower is just a no.
Restaurant and bar area were very impressive along with the quality of the breakfast offering and quality

I was in work for a few days and the room was just what I needed! Very comfortable beds. A great selection of teas and even oat milk. Nice big TV if you wanted to relax. The staff were all lovely! Very helpful and kind and just perfect! My room was fairly big thrills but it was comfortable and clean. I was very happy.

United KingdomAccess to the bedrooms was via a very steep set of stairs which caused a problem as my partner has mobility problems. There is no mention of this on the website. The wheelchair access is only for the restaurant. We stayed at a very hot time of the year and the bedding consisted of a winter duvet which made it very hot in the night. The breakfast was a disappointment as we had to wait for a long time. No preservatives available for the toast only butter.
The restaurant was very pleasant and the evening meal was excellent.
