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.).

GermanyThere is nothing to complain about. Single rooms are a bit small, which makes it difficult to handle large suitcases. However, everything worked out fine.
The accommodation was located directly on the street, which only slightly affected the view from my room, while my nephew's room faced the car park and garden. The rooms were small but well furnished and cosy for our purposes. The hosts were extremely friendly, and the breakfast was excellent.

This gem of a BnB is the best find ever. We have both travelled extensively throughout the globe in various properties and property types, and Sandy & Cathy’s wonderful place rates at the top. Thank you to them both for such a wonderful, homely, comfortable, welcoming and fabulous time - 10+ stars ✨

United KingdomSandy was very welcoming and ensured I was happy throughout my stay. Unfortunately, I never met his wife due to her being ill. I would definitely stay at Shawlee Cottage again in the future and I would recommend this hospitality to anyone looking for a warm, comfortable, good breakfast and nice hosts. Thank you for making my stay a pleasant one.

CanadaThis is not a question of what we didn't like, but visitors should be aware that there is no lounge or common area where they can sit and visit or perhaps play a game in the evening.
Our hosts, Kathy and Sandy, were fantastic. Their local knowledge and suggestions on what to do and see were invaluable. A generous breakfast was provided each morning in charming surroundings. The B & B offers excellent value for money. Highly recommended.

Staying in Shawlee Cottage was like hitting the jackpot! It truely ticked every box. Sandy and Cathy who run this BnB were exceptionally kind, friendly and accommodating. They provided one of the best breakfast spreads I’ve ever experienced and they gave me some delicious goodies throughout my stay. My room was also very clean and comfortable. The town itself is quite small, however, I enjoyed walking and bussing to the neighbouring towns (would recommend the Summerlee Museum of Scottish Industrial Life in Coatbridge). I’m very much looking forward to returning!

Close proximity to Airdrie Train Station (regular trains to Glasgow City Centre) and short commute to surrounding hospitals. Couldn't recommend the stay more!
