How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Breakfast was mediocre at best. Only choice of egg was scrambled. Cumberland sausage for breakfast? No hash browns or tattie scones. It looked totally half hearted and let an otherwise excellent hotel down
Great location, with easy parking across the road. Really friendly and helpful staff. Exceptionally clean room with super comfy bed

I really can't fault this hotel and expect to be back for more of the same sometime soon.
This is the second time I've stayed here overnight in order to go to a show, have meals with friends and do other things in the city before going home to the Scottish Borders. I've had a double room for single occupancy on the fifth floor both times and found those rooms really quiet and comfortable. As a solo traveller, I felt perfectly safe. The breakfast, which is included in the price, is plentiful and tasty, with a good variety of options. I arrived a couple of hours before the 3 pm check in to find that, perfectly understandably, the room I had been allocated wasn't ready. The very helpful young woman at reception immediately gave me an identical room on the fifth floor which was ready, so I was able to leave my luggage in my room before meeting my friend to go to the theatre. I could have left my luggage at reception, because I know the hotel offers that facility, but I didn't need to, which was great.

The room was very warm so window was open at night. I am a heavy sleeper so didn’t hear anything but my friend is a light sleeper and was woken up a few times by the loud noise of bins being emptied at night.
Room and hotel was nice and clean. Beds were comfortable.

Everything was excellent! From the ballet just around the corner, for the excellent meal in the restaurant next door, to the lovely welcome from the hotel staff, the comfortable room and a lovely breakfast, what more could we ask? ( maybe next time the ferry will sail in calmer waters) but that's just nitpicking!...x
