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 only thing with having the dogs is that you really need to have a car as the Inn sits on a busy main road so you can’t walk them direct from the Inn. I had a car so no problem.
Found this little gem of a place on booking.com as I needed a stop with my 2 dogs. Spotlessly clean rooms, great wee garden area for dogs and absolutely wonderful staff. Just 5 miles from St Andrews. The food was outstanding if a little expensive.

Staff were all fantastic. Very helpful and couldn't do enough for us. Had an enjoyable meal in the restaurant on our first evening.

United KingdomIf you have a room located at the very front on the hotel which is very close to the road, traffic noise can be loud, especially when HGV's pass. Rooms located at the rear of the hotel are not affected that much. Wi-Fi signal was poor in the room I stayed in N.o 14.
Very spacious rooms, well appointed, friendly staff. Good quality food. Pleasant atmosphere.

United KingdomVery stiff safety hinges on the doors to our room made it hard work to come in and out when holding anything. Some minor defects in the bathroom needed attention, which I reported to Reception. The room rate was expensive for what it is, but that may be typical of East Fife during the golfing season? We paid less for better appointed hotel rooms in Galloway and Northumbria.
Good spacious room with a wide and comfortable bed, very quiet too. Good breakfast. Very pleasant and helpful staff.

United KingdomThe only issue where the hotel did not fully meet our needs was the lack of grounds to allow us to exercise our small dog who stayed with us.
The staff very very friendly and helpful and went out of their way to ensure we had a great stay. Breakfast was excellent, as good a breakfast as I have had. Obviously freshly cooked to order and now Luke warm from a buffet.
