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.).

The proprietors were very warm and helpful, and immediately made us feel very welcome. Our room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was carefully prepared, wholesome and tasty. Strachan is a quiet and very beautiful part of Aberdeenshire, with great views and good access to the Highlands.

GermanyEverything was perfect.
It was the best guesthouse we stayed in during our Scotland roundtrip. The room was big and elegantly decorated, in Scottish tartan colours, with a view to the river. The owner was very kind and told us a lot about the clans and the Highland Games in Aboyne we wanted to visit the next day. We actually met Mr. Strachan at the Games again and leant a lot about the Strachan clan where he is the chief. The breakfast was beautifully arranged and delicious. In the evening we could choose what we would like to have but there were also cereals, yoghurt, fruit, toast and marmelade on the table.

United KingdomAdvice to eat out locally before arriving would have been helpful albeit we did arrive with evening snacks and drinks as we had, had a decent lunch en route.
Very smart accommodation. Our room was really comfortable and we had the best nights sleep of our whole week of travelling at Feughside. Breakfast was nicely presented with plenty of choice (order the evening before) serving local produce.

United KingdomThere was nothing I didn't like
We had a great stay at Feughside, ideally located for our recent trip to Tarland Trails & Knockburn Loch. Rob is a superb host, incredibly accommodating, especially as we arrived a lot later than expected. Lovely ensuite room with a great bed, very restful night & a super breakfast in the morning - all in all a perfect place to stay in a beautiful location. Recommended!
