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 use a weighted review system which means that 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 KingdomBreakfast was good, however space for "help yourself" was very small and crowded. Breakfast was only open from 9.00 am Saturday and Sunday which is a little later than I would like. Dinner and room were great

United KingdomA small gripe only, I felt the toaster in the breakfast room was past its best, bread took too long to toast. I did mention it to staff who said they would look into, again no hassle from the staff during my complaint only understanding and wanting to help.
I had a 3 night stay, the room was comfortable and perfect for my needs. When booking I asked to be allocated room 13 and on arrival I was allocated room 13,. I was also on the ground floor which was brilliant as I have mobility issues with stairs. Food was great, staff were brilliant, both at night and during breakfast. I will definitely stay here again, in fact I am already booked up to do so. Ardennan House team please accept my thanks for making my stay a good experience.

United KingdomBedroom did not have, blackout blind/curtains. The chair in room, one corner was ripped. Paper or paint was coming off the ceiling in bathroom. Pillows were not the best, Maybe its because I like very soft! A little of Money spent in the rooms and this hotel could easy be 10/10.
Food was really nice. Breakfast good full Scottish Breakfast, had everything you expected. Evening Meal the staff recommended Crispy beef and it was lovely. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Very Quiet since it was not far from main road.

This was a last minute booking, hotel not known to me. My request for a ground floor twin room was met. Evening meal was pleasant in the conservatory, plenty space between tables. Good choice on the set menu plus daily specials, portions were ample, staff very attentive. Breakfast menu was fine, varied choice available. Room was fine, no issues.

CanadaAn earlier check in without a fee. I had an overnight flight to Edinburgh. I do not drive and the journey to Inverurie was inconvenient . I am 80 and travelling alone . It was my experience when there that the cleaning girls were finished by around noon. So there was no need to wait. I needed a place to settle and rest. I do not have a cell phone. So if I needed a taxi or had an emergency during the night what would have happened??? You really need a car . My observation was that everyone had a car.
My room was very cosy and comfortable bathroom was clean and suitable. I had everything I needed. The girl at check in was very helpful with telling me about where I could locate an iron and board. The internet instructions were wrong and I needed her assistance . The instructions were old and incorrect. in the room folder. Breakfast was amazing as was the pleasant little room and the girl who served me 5 days out of the six was terrific. Efficient and friendly

United KingdomThe breakfast staff were under a lot of pressure. It was a Sunday so breakfast started at 09.00. That means everyone was up and a big crowd at the door at 09.00. Breakfast needs to start at 08.30 to avoid this crush. The fact that the bar closed at 10.30 and our group had to move out of the bar into the private room at 10.45 was not ideal. The hotel lost a lot of sales by not staying open to 12.00 pm. I would not recommend the hotel for a group dinner because of this.
Asha the breakfast waitress was brilliant but overworked. All the staff were friendly and attentive.
