How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

There is a pub underneath. We cant sleep. The you could hear the people outside talking really loud. The music was loud until like 2am. Beds are great, its just that you are directly above a very noisy pub

Verified reviewDecent and affordable place when all you need is just a place to sleep for the night. Room was clean and the bed was comfortable.
The place is right next to a bar which normally wouldn't bother me. But after a long trip it was a bit difficult to sleep with the loud music late into the night. Didn't effect us, but not much to do in the area.

Verified reviewThe shower water is very comfortable and there is a fridge in the room. Considering the price, it was a fair stay.
overall the hotel room is lack of design and the bathroom is narrow. The mattress is too soft to hold people in a proper position of sleeping.

Verified reviewThe hotel staff are very nice and helpful and the room we had was nicely furnished and comfortable.
The only drawback of our room was that it was impossible to open the windows fully because the blinds had been mounted on the wall in a way that blocked the window. It got quite hot in the room on a sunny day and we would have loved to be able to air it properly.

Verified reviewIt was okay.
Friday night and the karaoke night (which we luckily knew about in advance) was annoying. We had to keep our windows closed during the night or we’d get zero sleep due to the noise from the main road . The last night of our stay was crazy and quite frightening since there was some shouting next door, someone trying to break into our room at midnight and then it took 2 more hours dor the owner or the police to arrive and to remove the guy who was knocking on the door next to us. Not something that would’ve ever happened to us before but I guess we weren’t as surprised considering the area hotel is located in.

Verified reviewUnfortunately, we are not able to evaluate the structure because we couldn’t at all enter in our room
Worst experience ever – we never even got to stay We had arranged with the property for a late check-in around midnight, as our flight was arriving at that time. The property had provided all the correct instructions, but when we arrived, the key that was supposed to be in the room was missing. Moreover, the door was locked, and there was no way to get inside. We tried calling and messaging the property repeatedly, but no one answered. They left us outside with no information or assistance well past midnight. To make matters worse, despite multiple calls and messages in the following days, we never received any reply at all. We were forced to sleep in our car as there were no alternatives – the village is tiny, everything was closed, and there are no other accommodations nearby. I strongly advise against booking this place, not only because you risk being left outside overnight, but also due to the complete lack of professionalism from the staff. I doubt they would handle any kind of problem differently. Situations like this are simply unacceptable.

Verified reviewRoom was clean and tidy. It smelled so nice! No complaints. Staff were kind and courteous. I would 1000% stay here again!
It would have been nice to be able to call someone after hours, but they did tell me I could go down to the pub and ask for help if needed.

Verified reviewClose so we could walk to race track. Bar was downstairs, so close for a night cap. Comfortable beds, clean rooms. Friendly local people taking their smoke breaks in front of bar.
No elevator - had to drag suitcases up to our room.

Verified reviewOur flight into Edinburgh was delayed, because of the storm. We were greeted by a lovely lady, even though it was late. The room was just what we needed, comfortable, clean, large shower and tea & coffee. A great stopover, before our journey home to the Highlands.
