Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomThe garden has lost its whole big day dream for an out door wedding the plant beds look untidy now We had our wedding outside and it was amazing A few things staff with long hair serving food not put in a ponytail isn't a good look And I'm an ex supervisor for a restaurant so I know what I mean Also long baggy sleeves not nice when serving food But I know teething problems for new owners so hopefully will improve
This place is so special to us 12 yrs ago we seen and booked our wedding And on Fri it was our 10th anniversary Yep lots have changed from staff to new owners but only a few of the staff we know and love still there or Geoff and young Jordan The new owners have kept it mostly the same Today when leaving the new owner gave us a smaller version of the mascot of the hotel. It's a bear in kilt and wee jumper with Savoy park which is so special to us I've sent loads of people there for overnights as gifts etc As food good homemade Rooms depending on what you get are all good we had room 11 on Fri and first I've been in as always the other side we usually stay in but a bride to be had honeymoon suite For a wedding it's the most amazing Scottish feeling hotel you will get and the beach is just over the green and down the lane for perfect wedding pics too Please take it back to the amazing garden it was And I know any bride looking for that wow factor will love it like I did But inside is amazing too and I'm not just saying that we had 4 places it see 12 yrs ago and never seen the other 3 as we were solid And the town centre is only 15 mins walk away And the new owners have another wee place due to open not far from Savoy park which I can't wait to try as we used it when old owners had it as we had 4 hotels booked for guests Hopefully be back down soon but life is so busy But again thank you to new owners for our wee bear as this hotel is special and old owners made us feel special too like all the guests so here's to the future of the Savoy park please don't change it too much it's a wee hidden treasure in Ayr like burns cottage

United KingdomOur first room faced the main Racecourse road, which we found too noisy for us, coming from a very quiet home location. Second room was excellent.
The staff listened to our requests and actioned them straight away - brilliant response. Food was excellent and our room facing the garden was lovely.
