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 KingdomA little confusing with 2 streets named Clyde Street in the area but clear directions in a message about this from the proprietor's helped.
The breakfast was first class, a super selection of Scottish or local produce, perfectly cooked and presented. We were fortunate to have a bay window table, what a view. A great start to any day!

United KingdomIt's difficult to think of any way in which it could be improved.
There was a broad range of breakfast choice: from full, cooked to cereals. Particularly recommended is the excellent smoked salmon with scrambled eggs and perfect toast! Lesley and Kenny were friendly, helpful and genuine –– not 'corporate friendly'. The hotel was professionally branded', with logo and St Ives mugs, but this wasn't overdone. Everything was clean, tidy and functioning –– including the fast Internet.

United KingdomThis hotel is fabulous from location, its stunning views and owners Kenny and Lesley who are so helpful and friendly nothing was too much trouble. You can take in the tranquil views from breakfast or a seat in the garden. This stunning scenario is amazing. Breakfast was plentiful and tasty. The pancakes are a definite must but I have to say I had the fluffiest scrambled egg I've ever had. Cannot wait to return.

United KingdomCannot fault it.
A beautiful guest house in a fabulous position overlooking the west bay. Spotlessly clean, comfortable & tastefully decorated. Easy to find with the directions provided, good parking right outside. Lovely outside seating area with sea views. You can walk along the promenade into town, about 10 minutes. Pre-order breakfast the night before, it was absolutely delicious, the scrambled eggs with smoked salmon was amazing.

ItalyWe booked last minute and the only room left was a double with no view and twin beds that were very narrow - too narrow for a comfortable sleep. Also, when we flushed the toilet the noise was very loud.
Nice hotel with a nice view from the upstairs lodge. Delicious breakfast.

The quiet location on the sea, and the experienced host, made our stay wonderful When we didn't get a restaurant booked in time, he offered the lounge for our use with our takeaway dinner. Best table in town!

United KingdomLow lighting in bedroom, hard to see with a mirror in furthest corner from the window. Absolutely no drawers or shelves or a decent sized table to put anything on. All my items had to go on a chair or the windowsill. Only 4 coat hangars…on a rail fixed to the wall. Glad I brought my own. Very few plug sockets, and very small bedside tables next to the plug, so hard to charge things. This was a Boutique Hotel - so there were no complaints, as I have used small hotels before and there are no frills.
Greeted at the door by a friendly host. Very willing to please and gave us a jug of fresh milk for tea/coffees. Situated overlooking a stunning bay, next to a clean promenade which takes you to the centre of town. The hotel was compact but had free use of a lounge with stunning views. Our room was clean and there was a pull switch light over the sink to use as a night light. Lovely towels and they gave us a bath with fabulous shower. Lovely ensuite built into a box inside the bedoroom. Breakfast booked in advance, an exceptional experience, very good indeed.
