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 KingdomRoom was a bit cramped.
Good location for me as I was going to a friendly match at Pittodrie, but also not too far to walk into the city. Decent breakfast. My single room at the rear of the house was quiet. The parking worked out well, not at the property but close by and off street.

United KingdomThe property is next to a busy road, which might not be to everyone's liking, but the rooms are well insulated from the traffic noise. The TV is rather small by modern standards.
The location is excellent for anyone needing to access the Aberdeen Sports Village or the University. The host was attentive, punctual, friendly and polite. The breakfast menu was limited, but the food was very well prepared and tasty.

Clean, comfortable and very convenient for the university. We arrived very late after 1am ( we had prior checked this would be ok) and we were welcomed with a warm friendly reception. The room was warm and well played out. A lovely very modern en-suite shower room. Breakfast was very good and the hosts super friendly. Would definitely stay there again.

United KingdomI would have liked a option of brown or white bread for the toast and also coffee was instant coffee so understand you get a cooked breakfast unlike at other b&bs so something has to give but seems a bit like you have the breakfast but no filter coffee option. Also one of the trays in the bathroom the one with the green shower gel/shampoo in lower shelf near sink seem to have loads of soap residue in the container maybe just missed because it can't be seen as the rest of the ensuite was fine. But otherwise it was fine just a prewarning for other travellers though the b&b is opposite the university entrance in the middle of a street so there is only the uni pup down the road for food and drink so rely heavily on transport to get to places as it a good 20 to 30 minutes walk from union square. Also quite a busy road and people returning from the pub at night means it not the quietest of places so if your a light sleeper either bring ear plugs or perhaps not your cup of tea.
I liked how Steven was a very pleasant and nice host, he pre warned me of some work being done so if I was in my room could shut the curtain for privacy and just kept checking everything was OK and gave clear instructions on checking out. The fact they gave you 3 cooked breakfast option 2 of which toast was given as well as offering complimentary cereal and orange juice. Also Steve accommodated for me the fact I was vegetarian and offered tomatoes instead of bacon/sausage and he was willing to do a early breakfast on my 2nd day so I could catch my train. I didn't need it but the fact they offered a international plug in socket to charge thing for people abroad. Also decorations and bedding some would consider it a bit tired but for me it was fine satisfied me as a place to sleep in between my activities. Room was a good size for a single person and 2 chairs and table were provided
