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.).

FranceNothing except the pillows which one of the set of two could be less round. Although it is located in a full rural area, it is close to the City center by car.
Access well signed from the main road. The kindness of the hosts, the diversity and quantity of the welcome amenities in the room, the fresh food and well prepared breakfast, the advices for restaurants and for touring around the old town. The wifi was working perfectly. The decoration of the room seems a little bit busy at first sight although giving a real sense of warmfulness. My wife liked the cosy style of the whole house and especially the birds paintings from a local artist. The goods in the Boutique are worth a special attention.

Australiano suggestions.
The attention to detail and care that has very obviously gone into the presentation of every aspect of this place is what sets it apart. We had been travelling for several weeks, and on arrival here it was evident that the hosts have considered even the smallest detail, in both the rooms and the common areas. Very, very comfortable and user-friendly, in fact the best in that regard on our travels.

United KingdomHonestly I have no comments as all was very well.
Very welcoming and friendly. It was like home away from home and you can't get more luxurious than that. Breakfast was delicious and lots of choices. Absolutely very clean and most importantly the bed and pillows were the most comfortable ever. No smell of the duvet as in some hotels have an odour smell. I would definitely come again.

United StatesAmazing B&B with super friendly hosts!! We added a night here at the last minute and I’m so glad we did. It’s located a bit outside of St Andrews in a very quiet and rural area. We did the chocolate making class with Mike and loved it!! All of our chocolates were delicious. Would definitely recommend staying here and wish we could have stayed one more day.

We were even offered a lift into town and a taxi home was very easy. Delicious breakfast, charming hosts and delightful. Well done!!!

United KingdomIt was so welcoming & warm, like the owners, very kind & helpful, attentive, they read every desire from our lips, we felt like in a 5 star hotel. You could see that Mike & Sam put a lot of attention to detail everywhere, rooms, garden the entire house. The breakfast was absolute delicious, we could not have asked for more, all was there, so nicely presented. We instantly felt home & we shall go back. It was perfect. The effort both are putting in is a typical example of going this extra mile for every guest who is coming. Hats up & continue the good work.

Lovely room house in general. Clean and comfortable. Hosts could not have been nicer!!! Plenty of chat and so welcoming. Gave us a lift at night into pub and offered to pick anything up from local shops. Chatted at breakfast (food was great) and allowed us to check out at own pace as no one coming into room next day. Would definitely book again.
