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.).

We couldnt find a single fault with this hotel. Amazing surprise to find dogs stay for free and there was a EV charger. We got a real bargain when staying here. thank you for an amazing stay.

CanadaNothing. We will return again for sure.
It is a fabulous old hotel that has a warm and welcoming interior and beautiful grounds. There were snowdrops everywhere! The staff are all very friendly and caring. We had booked the suite and it was amazing. The food is superb. Dinner is a tasting menu of 7 courses every night and each course was delicious and beautifully presented. The waiters with their white gloves were a lovely touch too! The hotel is very close to Peebles and there are plenty lovely walks in the area. The Tapestry of Scotland is a short drive away in Galashiels and well worth a visit.

United KingdomOur room was a little small for ourselves and our two dogs, but when we go back we are going to request a Junior Suite with a bath.
The breakfast was possibility the best I have ever experience. The menu was wonderful and of course the food delicious, but it was the staff, their attentiveness, beautifully laid table, the low lever classical music and the stunning room and view.

United KingdomI am sure the hotel will address but just some of the paint peeling off on the bathroom ceiling made it look a bit drab . However that didn't spoil the overall experience.
From the minute you drive up the long drive to the house which is all lit up you feel welcome. The staff (Victoria) were at the door to meet us with a warm welcome and show you to your room and explain about the hotel and the restaurant. The room is a classic old style room but with modern creature comforts and well laid out. Lots of nice touches left in the room for you and we had ordered wine to be delivered to the room and it was waiting there for us. Now the food was nothing short of first class and the restaurant is well laid out and the staff (Barry) were so attentive and explained everything and even had time for some friendly chat between courses. The menu apparently changes daily and you can pick individual courses or go for all seven courses. We went for 5 each and everything was perfect. The breakfast the following morning was brilliant and that was followed with a walk round the grounds which looked amazing due to the fresh snow everywhere. The hotel obviously prides themselves on customer service and while you do pay for that high level of service, it is worth treating yourselves every so often. So yes we would recommend the Craigletie house. Thank you.

United KingdomI found Cringletie to exceed my expectations and had no issues the staff made my stay completely enjoyable.
Cringletie is a luxurious location set in the Scottish Borders a few miles from Peebles. A first class example of Scottish hospitality the property is located in a tranquil setting where you can enjoy all the best of attention ensuring a fantastic stay. The suite we stayed in 'Melrose' was spacious and immaculate with very comfortable bedding. Complimentary tea, coffee and whisky was available in the room which was serviced daily to a high standard. The restaurant provided outstanding food cooked and presented to a very high standard with local produce and served by attentative, friendly staff . I have been fortunate to have visited Cringletie before ,the standard continues to be outstanding.

Really going above and beyond to make our stay special. We had evening meal which was incredible. GF allergy catered for. Breakfast was wonderful too.
