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.).

Arriving to this tranquil venue was such a delight, loved the cottage and the outlook over the gazing cows in the meadows. The bedding was superb and all the little extras like the rusks and milk to go with the complimentary coffee and tea.

South AfricaThe pool at the tennis court was still dirty from a function the day before at 9:30am. There were no towels for the patrons and the loungers were dirty. For a 5 star establishment we expected better burgers and fries.
Breakfast selections were amazing. Our car was washed and polished before we left. A wonderful surprise! Rooms were luxurious and beautifully spaced out.

South AfricaPreviously arranged early book-in was not possible due to previous guests leaving later than expected, We were however made to feel at home in the lounge and bar area, while we waited. The carpet in the room could have been cleaner. Perhaps a good wet carpet wash will do the trick. We found somebody elses toe nail clipping on the carpet beside the bed, after stepping on this. Curtains looked untidy and needed to be hooked back on the rail.
We loved the peace and quiet, the fresh air and the beautiful scenery. I enjoyed the early morning fly fishing (No. 08 Olive Red-Eyed Damsel FTW) and close-up otter sighting very much. But most of all, we enjoyed the food and the proper rest and relaxation. 10/10 for the dinners. The bed was very comfortable and linen was clean and crisp. I enjoyed the short stories which were delivered to the room by the bedtime turndown service. I beleive the spa treatment was great..., my Fiancee fell alseep during the head, neck and shoulders message ;)

South AfricaIt was raining on the evening that we checked in. I was not very happy that the golf cart did not have any covers.With the result ,we were soaking wet by the time we reached out room 23.My daughter was a bride getting dressed at our room and the cart was not conducive for her getting into with her bridal gown.On 31 Oct 2023 we visited Fordoun to see what our rooms would look like as we were preparing for the wedding.We were told that we had Room 1 ( which was booked for my son) and room 19 for my daughter & myself.Only to find on arrival we were told that we had Room 1 and Room 23.... I am aware that room 19 and 23 are the same .However I could not understand why the rooms were changed without my knowledge. It was a further distance that we had to be subjected to with the rain and the golf cart.When I asked abt the change at reception, I did not receive a validation.
Breakfast was good.Location good as well
