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 KingdomThe bathroom wall was quite thin. I could hear a lot of what was going on in the neighbouring room.
Mainly that it was spotlessly clean. The bedroom and bathroom were both of a good size. It was in a good location, within walking distance of the ferry/station, town centre and sea front.

United KingdomThe stairs were slightly narrow. Parking was tight.
The place was on a hill, close enough to walk to the harbour but without noisy activities. The staff was very kind and offered warm welcome. He even helped us park in a narrow place. The bathroom was spacious. We were also allowed to leave the car there for a few hours after checkout.

AustraliaWe needed to stay in an upstairs room for our second stay - but we knew this would be the case so can’t complain.
5-7 min walk from train station and ferry. Good value. First stay was in the only ground floor room which was good as it is difficult for us to carry cases upstairs. They were happy to store 2 small cases for a few days when we visited Iona.

United KingdomReally nice room (bigger than we were expecting!), good parking, provided everything we needed. It's a shame we had to catch a ferry so early in the morning as the breakfast looked like it would have been lovely! Very clean and the host was lovely and friendly. Walking distance to most shops.

This was an ideal location for us to stay for two nights as it was only a short walk into the town centre. The host was very pleasant and helpful and the continental breakfast was excellent value for money with plenty of fruit etc. The room was spacious and very comfortable and attractively decorated,with a large bed, and the bathroom was convenient. We had no trouble with parking the car. Altogether we felt that it was excellent value for money and would stay there again.

GermanyOne thing to keep in mind: at night it can get quite noisy. The walls are quite thin, and there seemed to be a popular meeting spot for young people nearby. But overall, we still enjoyed our stay and would recommend this place for anyone looking for a charming and central accommodation. thing to keep in mind: at night it can get quite noisy.

We had a really nice stay at this bed and breakfast. The location is fantastic, right in the city center, so everything is just a short walk away. The rooms are beautifully decorated, very cozy, and spotlessly clean. We also really appreciated that we were allowed to check in early, which made our arrival so much easier.
