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.).

This was a lovely place to stay. Communication was excellent, the accommodation is first class, lovely room, comfortable bed, excellent en suite facilities. Classy furnishings and personal touches throughout the property. Breakfast was superb, excellent choice to suit all tastes with home made jams and a fantastic Scottish fry up ( the only time I allow myself). Genny was a charming hostess and could not do enough to make our stay special. Highly recommended!

Outlander Boutique was spotlessly clean and it was clear from the beginning that Genny goes above and beyond for her guests. Lovely, practical additions the room such as Egyptian cotton towels and bathrobes as well as a fabulous bathroom and wardrobe room made for a relaxing, comfortable stay. Wide range of tasty breakfast options, including fabulous homemade bread and jam. We will be back!

Location is fantastic, next to a lovely pub, and beach. Short walk to the golf club. But this definitely deserves the boutique in the name. Absolutely stunning little place, even had a dressing room in our 3 person room. Lots of special touches. The place is immaculate. Every thing was there that you needed. And the breakfast, was the best breakfast the 3 of us had ever had, beautiful fresh fruit, full Scottish breakfast, homemade bread and jam, I seriously didn’t want to leave. Would definitely return.

CanadaUnfortunately, my son had a rough start to the morning and wasn't able to get through much of the lovely breakfast Ginny had made ahead, knowing he was a vegetarian before our arrival. His lack of appetite may have had something to do with his drinking whisky the night before with some of the locals at the hotel a few doors down.
This was a wonderful B&B! Very tastefully decorated and so many thoughtful extras. Comfortable beds and a superb breakfast. If you are anywhere near this lovely part of Aberdeenshire I can't imagine a better place to stay for such a reasonable rate. We were there in May and I still have such fond memories of this stay. Ginny was an exceptional hostess.

Special mention to the breakfast table which was very delicious but the way it was arranged is something the guests will remember. Loved it.
