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 KingdomThere was absolutely nothing not to like about the property itself ! (Unfortunately the immediate surroundings , which would have been policy parks in bygone days, had been somewhat neglected by neighbouring landowners.)
An incredible property, incredibly presented ! Furnished to a very high standard, with antiques and collectibles with style giving an impression of quiet opulence,

United KingdomWe had a wonderful stay at Disblair House! The breakfast was absolutely lovely—fresh, abundant, and nicely presented. Chris and Karolyn were super friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The whole place had a very peaceful and quiet atmosphere, perfect for a relaxing break. The bed was very comfortable, and the house itself had such a warm, charming feel. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a restful and peaceful getaway.

This B&B is a beautiful historic building set in the quiet countryside in a secluded setting. Karolyn and Chris have maintained the period character of the property, particularly in the sitting and dining room. Disblair House is ideal as a base for exploring the NE coast.

Very welcoming, very quiet and peaceful location in a character property which we like. The room was spacious and very comfortable with a large en-suite, microwave, fridge and tea-making facilities. Our German Shepherd dog settled very quickly and appreciated the lovely well-kept grounds. The breakfast was more than you’d expect with a huge amount of choice and cooked to order. Nothing is too much trouble for the hosts. This was our third stay within a 12 month period and we have a fourth planned. It is a gem of a property.

Disblair House is simply magical. Every room abounds with hidden treasures to delight the senses, the hosts are the most lovely, hospitable people you’ll ever meet, the dogs are wonderful, the grounds are beautiful and lovely to wander, and the breakfast spread was, by far, the absolute best we’ve ever had at a B&B (and we’ve stayed at many over the years).

United KingdomNothing to dislike.
We liked everything about the house, very old listed B property with a wealth of history. We were in the family room, which had everything you could possibly need during your stay. Our room had a fridge and microwave, trouser press along with iron and ironing board. The bed had an electric blanket and we even had a settee. Karolyn supplied fresh milk and bottled water every day with an array of different teas and decaf options. The bathroom was large with bath and walk in shower etc. The food choice was exceptional, there was a continental breakfast which was vast and followed by a full cooked breakfast which was chosen from a list along with toast, croissants butter and jams. Karolyn and Chris were lovely hosts along with their two friendly dogs.
