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 KingdomNo breakfast which I knew before booking, and bar closed on Mon-Wed. I booked this hotel because of the good ratings. Staff did recommend alternative which was good.

United KingdomWhile not a problem as on road parking is easy to find (and there are no parking restrictions), it's worth noting there is no on site parking. The kitchen and pub aren't open for much of the week (possibly this changes in the summer?!) there are still plenty of places to get food though nearby.
Really centrally located to explore Wigtown and other sites of Dumfries and Galloway, the Blackhorse Hotel is a great place to base yourself at if you're looking for affordable accommodation which delivers a warm welcome.

The room has a big television which after a long cycle ride was welcome. The bed was comfortable and the outside area was great to sit in. It was handy for the town and our cycle route. The manager was very helpful. My husband enjoyed the pool table

CanadaThe room was very small, albeit a comfortable bed. You could only get into the bed from one side so the other person had to climb over you. The shower had lots of hot water but it was super small.
Good location, lots of parking on the road. Bed was super comfortable. The host, Derek, was accommodating and pleasant. A few treats in the room to welcome you.

United KingdomThe hotel doesn't do breakfasts, but there are a few cafes nearby that do, so it wasn't a problem.
The pub does delicious pizzas in the evening, which was very welcome after a long trek from Oxfordshire to Dumfries and Galloway. The team at the Blackhorse were friendly and welcoming and the room and facilities were very comfortable. We've stayed there several times before, and I'm sure that we'll be back again in the future.

United KingdomThe bathroom light was very bright, and caught us out when I switched it on and it shone right at my wife who was trying to sleep at the time. We would have preferred to park off the road, but were able to at least park on the street right by the front door. We chose to stay on a night when the pub was closed, which was a pity as the pub looked to offer an interesting selection of drinks.
The room was right at the back of the building, so very quiet. The bed was comfortable and we slept well. Convenient location to explore the town.
