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 KingdomNot a lot of parking spaces right outside the property.
The property has a beautiful exterior, the views across the bay are amazing. Our favourite part was the balcony with plenty of seating. The room was a double, it was a snug room with a large bathroom. It was warm and clean. The staff were lovely, especially the younger lad at the bar.

United KingdomHad to ask for toilet roll as almost none in our room but they delivered it promptly and cheerfully when asked. Lots of steps to carry luggage up to get to the hotel which was hard for my mum. Hotel was clearly there before so many people drove so not nearly enough parking and a steep climb unsuitable for some. Nothing they can do about that I daresay but might be as well to warn people they need to be mobile.
Beautiful building, superb food, stunning location and views. Lovely friendly people, pleasant stay.

United KingdomHotel needed to be updated. The outside cast iron railings need attention as looks shabby. As does the entrance (via car park). Entrance carpet needs replaced a gives a bad 1st impression. Shower although new couldn’t be controlled as too hot to enjoy. Accident waiting to happen.
The property was good but dated. Needs updating. The shower looked new. New mattress also so bed very comfortable. The gardens are amazing. Staff very helpful

United KingdomFinding the road up to the hotel parking area. The map on Booking.com gave the impression the hotel was further away from the centre of Rothesay than we thought & we drove past the road entrance leading up the hill to the hotel.
Lovely decor- especially the carpets & curtains. Nice large twin room with very comfy beds/pillows. Staff were very pleasant & helpful. Side window view of the sea.

United KingdomI wished the restaurant had had a better choice of food. Being a solo traveller, I didn’t really want a big meal and would have preferred something “lighter” around late afternoon. I also thought the food was a little expensive but that’s my only negative.
The location was perfect and such a beautiful grand old hotel.

United KingdomNothing.
This is a beautiful hotel, in a beautiful location. Yes the hotel is in need of some updating, however we found it was part of it's charm having original features. The food was excellent and the staff were lovely. We had a superior room which was huge, with a view of the front, a huge bathroom, dinner, B & B all for £156 which is very good value for money. We paid £22 additional for our evening meal (you get £25 each towards you're evening meal). I can't fault our stay, it was just perfect.

United KingdomNo welcome at all from the staff member who checked us in. No chat at all. The same for the staff member who checked us out. Again no conversation didn't ask if we enjoyed our stay. Didn't wish us a safe journey home etc. None of the usual niceties when checking in and out of a hotel? Not a warm arrival or departure.
Like the veranda. Room was OK. Barman was very friendly and chatty. Waiting staff were good.

United KingdomDig a little deeper and some places could do with a deeper clean. Otherwise, great.
Room was "period" and on the surface clean. Food was excellent and the chips with my scampi were to die for! The staff went out of their way allowing us to change our travel clothes in a little side room as we'd arrived too early to check in. In fact, all the staff were exceptional.

United KingdomWe could see that in its heyday the Glenburn must have been spectacular but it's looking decidedly shabby now. The paint was peeling badly on the outside of our bedroom door & parts of the wallpaper were nailed to the wall & the nails had gone rusty. The main carpet through from reception & main door was really dirty looking.
Our bed was the comfiest we've ever had in a hotel and the room was a good size. The staff were wonderful & so friendly & helpful. We had dinner in the restaurant one night & have to say the food was spectacular.
