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 KingdomMy room was directly above the lounge bar so it was a bit noisy, but I wear earplugs anyway so it didn’t really affect my stay.
Great location on the main street. Helpful and welcoming staff who were very accommodating. The decor is a bit dated but everything was spotlessly clean. The breakfast was fantastic.

United KingdomThe room didn't look like the photos on the website. We found it very quirky, a bit like staying in grandma's house from many years ago however the room wasn't a fair reflection of the website. The bathroom was extremely dated, cracked sink, filthy curtain/window . We're not fussy at all and hate to be unkind when the hosts were so lovely but also want to give a fair feedback of the accommodation.
The hosts were lovely, very friendly and the breakfast was great. The location was also perfect, right in the centre of town.

United KingdomNoise from the main road- looked like there was once secondary glazing as one point with only the carcass remaining. Carpet in bathroom and poorly fitted panelling around the bath, dirty carpet in bedroom and no tea/ coffee/milk refills.
Staff couldn’t have been any better and tried to accommodate where they could. No noise within the building despite being above the lounge. Free WiFi Plenty hot water for a nice bath

United KingdomThe room we had could do with a bit of updating, peeling paint in the bathroom and windowsills, also the wallpaper in the bedroom was peeling off. Mattress was a bit uncomfortable, leaned to one side. Very 70’s vibe, yes, we’re old enough to remember the 70’s! Next time, we will ask for a room further away from the passage we overlooked, as it was quite noisy.
This was probably the best breakfast we have ever had at a B&B! If you’re looking for the best full Scottish, you simply can’t go wrong at the imperial. Also, the staff were so friendly and helpful. Right from the minute we walked in the door, they were lovely!

United KingdomThe windows in the room would neither open or close; not a problem for me but could be a problem later in the year. People suggest the hotel needs updating. Maybe, but increased prices would be inevitable and Castle Douglas does not need such a hotel. Perhaps at the least, the photos of golfers could be updated! Beware of the pub next door at the weekends, can get rowdy but note it has not been part of this hotel for decades.
The hotel is clean, quiet and comfortable. An excellent stay for a value for money base to explore the beautiful area, or just for one night. It’s not really a hotel; more a licensed B&B. Suited me, as I like to explore and there are at least 4 excellent restaurants within walking distance. Breakfast was excellent, good quality ingredients cooked well and pleasantly served. All you need.
