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 reviewLocation and staff
The room wouldn’t have seemed cramped if they hadn’t shoved two rooms worth of furniture into it. The bathroom looked very old. The mini-fridge made the things you put in it warmer.

Verified reviewCentrally located. A lot less expensive than Crail prices.
WiFi didn't work at all at any time. Beds were a little uncomfortable. Very small room (no table or chair). Shower didn't work at all (no water). Couldn't get a hold of management (didn't answer my phone call, mobile number mentioned on booking doesn't work, nobody around). Finally, after an hour or so we were given the keys to another room where the shower ... kind of worked. Warm water for 4 minutes and then it turned ice cold right when I was soaped in top to bottom. Considering all of this, the price is outrageous. The check-in staff was so-so friendly. The staff that finally arrived around 9 am in the morning was very friendly and apologetic, but couldn't really help. Management is at fault for this and I would expect money back. We will definitely not be back to this dump.

Verified reviewThe hotel was well located and there was a fridge in the room.
First impression of the room was ok. Further inspection showed the following issues: • There was a lock on the bathroom door but no mechanism in it so you couldn't lock it • The bathroom was so small you had to move sideways to pass the toilet and shower to get to the sink • While sitting in the bathroom, depending on the length of your legs, had to place them in the shower • Toilet seat was broken • Sink was so small you couldn't fit the kettle under the taps to fill it • The beds were uncomfortable and one of them had dark hairs on it • Only one available socket • There was no daily housekeeping, no wardrobe, no bathrobes and slippers as noted in the list of facilities • No aerial in the room so no terrestrial TV • Streaming services were available but only if you have your own subscription and the TV was not set up to the wifi • WiFi only worked one night of our stay • The room supposedly had a "view" which was the flat roof of the kitchen and a brick wall In addition to all of the above we were.kept awake both nights by the noise made by the staff and management. On our first night some of the staff were out in the beer garden loudly chatting until 1.30am On the 2nd night we were kept awake by an extremely loud phone conversation - so loud we could hear both sides of it. After about 20 mins my partner went downstairs to complain to be told it was the manager on a call elsewhere in the hotel We paid £144 per night. It genuinely wasn't worth more than £75 and we left very disappointed. Had we not had plans we would have left after the first night

Verified reviewIt's easy to travel from here along the coast by bus.
It was very anonymous compared to other accommodations where the host would have a chat with me and give me some tipps.

Verified reviewIn a good location. Clean. Helpful staff . Value for money.
First night beds were really uncomfortable. Second night mattress toppers were supplied and solved the problem. No meals midweek, but other places nearby.
