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 KingdomThis is a very charming B&B. The rooms are beautiful, there's a lovely front garden and comfy lounge area. The breakfast in the attached cafe was delicious. Generally the whole aesthetic of the place was lovely and very carefully planned which made the stay feel special. Everything was clean and comfortable. We got a code to collect our key from a box so didn't meet anyone on check in, but the waitress at breakfast in the morning was very friendly!

United KingdomI think that the room we were in was in the middle.of being refreshed. The paint was lovely and obviously new, the beds and bathroom were great. There was a window seat but no chair and the curtains needed to be hung properly and there were picture hooks and no pictures.
It is prefectly placed in Anstruther. The rooms are very clean. There is a guest lounge which is brilliant and the breakfast is amazing.

AustriaOne of the most lovely B&Bs we've ever stayed in. It's like a filming location, has a lot of charme and an even better breakfast! The room was very cosy (Nr. 6) with a marvellous view over the city center. Just a short walk and you're at the harbour. Definitely a place we want to return!!

United KingdomThey didn't serve breakfast early enough for us. 8:30 start is a bit late as we had to catch a train just after 9.
The place has a beautiful setting and was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful. I'd definitely come back and stay a couple of nights. They also allowed us to store our bikes in a side alley out of sight.

AustraliaWe did not receive instructions for key collection which caused a bit of inconvenience for the staff. Breakfast provided by the attached cafe was very nice but very slow. My husband would have preferred no chilli sauce on his smashed avocado - or perhaps the sauce could have been served in a separate dish.
Beautiful old house that provided comfortable accomodation in one of the attic rooms with a wonderful view to the water. Bedding and towels all very clean.

United KingdomIt's another ghost B&B, in that it's unstaffed and you self-check-in.
Possibly because the B&B is attached to a café, the food was excellent, with good vegan options.

United KingdomThe room really needs a replacement toilet seat, the one in place is flimsy and potentially dangerous; it fell off the first time I tried to use it, a clip on the fitting hadn’t been secured. It would have been nice if there had been someone to whom I could have conveyed this message in person; I had the impression that this wasn’t the responsibility of the breakfast waiting staff.
The staff at breakfast and lunch were welcoming and good humoured and the food served was of great quality. I was very glad to be staying in a property that was willing to participate in the Stonehaven Folk Festival. The use of the cafe generated high praise from festival participants.

United StatesCharming property in a beautiful little town. Very comfortable rooms and lovely and clean. Check in is very smooth. Host is responsive to messages but you don’t see anyone till breakfast which isn’t an issue at all. Breakfast was very good in the little cafe and the young lady who served us was kind and warm. Beautiful little outside garden to sit in and admire the views. Would not hesitate to recommend Arduthie House.
