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 KingdomAt breakfast, diners were having to constantly approach staff due to lack of cereal bowls/plates/clean juice glasses, etc, and they also had to request further supplies of some of the cooked items, as well as butter portions, marmalade, etc. Staff should be frequently checking all of above and shouldn't have to be prompted.
Adequate clean, cosy room, comfortable beds & pillows, clean toilet. Good availability of parking space. Good selection on offer for breakfast. Good location.

United KingdomThe bedroom was a bit tired and especially in the bathroom. The shower wasn’t the best, old fashioned mixer tap and you had to be careful it didn’t scald you so basically had to have cool shower.
The Alexandra hotel is nice and central. Staff were friendly and the evening meal was good. The room was large though it would benefit with upgrading now.

United KingdomI was disappointed that breakfast was not included in the price of £142.50, as it was quoted as Breakfast costs £14.50 per person per night. Yet someone walking into the hotel reception as a new customer on Monday, I witnessed was offered a single room at £90 without breakfast and £100 with breakfast.

United KingdomThe hotel looks a bit run down. When I arrived there were buckets in Reception to catch leaks from the ceiling which I hooked about but no apology or reason was given. Decor in my room looked a little tired with wallpaper joins all lifting and the worktop in the bathroom coming away underneath as it rotted. That said, it was all very clean, just not great decor. The Bistro staff could have been more attentive (I waited 15 minutes after being seated before anyone came to take my order though the staff seemed under-worked at that time).
The room was large and comfortable and the hotel is very close to the station but overlooking an attractive green and the Loch, with mountains behind it. The breakfast buffet was good and the Bistro food was tasty. Reception staff were helpful.

United KingdomThe gorgeous, old building is ‘tired’ and needs a little TLC. The bathroom looked fairly new and tastefully decorated but the door was nasty and old. Reception desk could do with a make-over. The location is great! Many shops are near by as well as restaurants, bars and supermarkets.
Choice for breakfast was very good and there was plenty to choose from. Room was large and very comfy. Location is ideal for getting to various parts of this part of Scotland, whether it’s by car or using the train station opposite the hotel.
