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.).

PolandDefinitely the best place I stayed in Scotland! I stayed in different accommodations each day, ranging from hostels and B&Bs to 4-star hotels, and this one was the best. The place was exceptionally clean and pleasant, with everything in perfect working order. The bed was very comfortable, and there was ample parking available. The breakfast was excellent. The owners were on-site, very approachable, and eager to help with everything.

United StatesThere wasn't anything that we didn't like about the Thistle Guesthouse. We weren't sure initially about having a separate but private bathroom but it was no problem at all.
Jayne and Jordan are exceptional hosts and clearly go to great lengths to ensure everyone enjoys their stay. The location is great and the entire property is spotlessly clean. The breakfasts each day were delicious.

My top three are the kind hosts, the daily breakfast, and the shower! The bed was also very comfortable and room suitable space for just me (I booked the single). The other guests were also very courteous about quiet hours, which I appreciated! (fantastic water pressure and temp)

United KingdomUnfortunately, the bedroom above us had VERY squeaky floorboards when the guests walked about, meaning our sleep pattern was impacted. We made the staff aware of this.
The cooked breakfast was excellent and was cooked by a professional chef. Very friendly staff who made us feel really at home and easy to talk to.

United StatesThe bedroom had two beds but only one nightstand on the far side. It was very inconvient but I could see there was not alot of room to work with. It would have bean great to have a milk alternative like oatmilk on the breakfast bar for coffee and cereals. They may have had some in the kitchen but I don't like asking. I didn't like the sign as you enter the building to take off shoes. I was freezing and I felt like I was breaking the rules.
The location was serene. Being vegan I loved that vegan sausages were an option. The easy of parking. The very friendly hostess was delightful.
