How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Breakfast was incredible, the best of the trip. House-baked pastries, breakfast made to order. They send you out the door with extra croissants, etc. Staff incredibly friendly. Rooms are flawless. Beds are comfy. Location is spectacular.

Nothing.
Lush and plush. The hosts were extremely welcoming and I was immediately taken by the surroundings. I honestly could live there quite happily. The hosts even made up a packed lunch for me when I explained I was an early starter and wouldn't be around for their legendary breakfasts. Also, I ate all the biscuits. Yip. It was me. 😁

From the Moment Mark contacted me in advance on the phone (to check arrival times, and any special requests) until we checked out it was a lovely stay. I cannot speak highly enough of Mark and Aby Lang and the effort they went to with the finer details addressed(which numerous other B&Bs could benefit from too) at Struan House. The en-suite Room we stayed in ‘Isle of Arran’ was light, spacious and with warm and comfortable furnishings, with a wonderful view of the harbour! The breakfast served (freshly) in the morning was cooked to perfection and not greasy like so many can be. The Mexican porridge is a must try as well! Our only regret is we could not stay there longer, but we will certainly be back. Mark and Aby Lang are a lovely, friendly, warm couple who have poured their love into this B&B complimenting and adding to the beauty of this Fishing village.

Mark & Aby make the best breakfast and plenty of it, fresh fruit and the Mexican porridge is amazing, and I don't usually eat porridge, the cooked breakfast is also cooked to perfection, good quality and with toast and home made jam & marmalade we couldn't manage lunch! The view from the room was beautiful.

We had a slight panic as we struggled to get the main door open to get out on the morning we left, the owner did show me that the night before and said it was stiff. I would suggest a new lock for this to make it easier for people to leave the premises if they need to go before everyone is awake or there is an emergency.
We arrived quite late on the Friday and struggled to find somewhere to eat. The B&B owner vey kindly checked with a nearby restaurant and managed to get us a table at very short notice. The room we had was lovely and the bed very comfy. Bathroom clean and we had a really nice view of the harbour. It was a particularly warm evening and there was a fan in the wardrobe we used, that was a God send. The next day we caught early boat at Kennacraig so had left before breakfast started, however the owners had made us sandwiches which they left in the fridge with yogurts. We really appreciated this. Hopefully if we stay again, we will have time to try the breakfast.
