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 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):
- 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.).

Verified reviewWe just loved everything about Ards House . We had beautiful and very clean rooms, an amazing breakfast and last but not least our very charming landlord Chris. He understands the word hospitality in every inch.

Verified reviewChris was a super host. Our room was spacious with a very good bed and exceptional views. The breakfast was tasty and more than enough to set us up for the day.
The sink and shower were both slow to drain.

Verified reviewI honestly regret that we could only stay one night there and had to leave very early as this place is incredible. Firstly the owner is very kind and welcoming, the place is very cosy and feels so homy. You have everything you need and more in your room, also a very nice tea set with something sweet. The room was also very big. And the stunning views just outside of the house are breathtaking. Definitely recommend and would like come back :)

Verified reviewNice breakfast (not included in my room price), a very comfortable bed and a friendly host. The house is nicely decorated and it has a nice period character. Private car park, although this is on the opposite side of a main road.
1) I could not obtain any channels on the television in my bedroom (no7) even after twice using the tv menu to tune it. When I looked at the back of the tv set the aerial cable was obviously damaged and the connection was hanging by a thread. I mentioned this to my host the following morning as the problem was only discovered at 10pm, about the time the guest lounge closed, but the host's explanation was a bit vague. A bedroom in a 4 star establishment (Scottish Tourist Board) should have a working television and it should be checked before the room is let. If such an issue arises, the guest should, ideally, be offered a discount e.g. in my case the offer of a free breakfast would have been a suitable gesture. 2) The extractor fan was not activated ('house' policy apparently due to the noise) in the small room with the wc/shower and condensation built up quite quickly.
