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 KingdomThe view was lovely but sadly through some small windows (due to age and being a listed building). The shower room/toilet was a bit tight on shelf/counter space for toiletries. Please also note the website info re parking. There are only 2 on-site parking spaces and Lower Largo is very tight for spaces. There is a free public car park a few minutes walk up a pretty steep path and we only just got the last space in that.While I appreciate it is well through the season a few areas in the room and common areas were looking pretty tired. I'm not sure the overall condition reflected the comparatively high rate.
The Crusoe has a lovely waterfront situation in Lower Largo pretty much right on the Fife coastal path. All the staff we met were very friendly and helpful. The room we had was a decent size, nice and bright, with a comfortable bed, TV, coffee/tea facilities, plenty of sockets/usb charging. It had a nice view immediately over the shore, which also provided a lovely lapping wave soundtrack. There was a nice shower room, compact but adequate, with plenty of towels provided. The food was very good from the breakfast ( continental buffet and a good cooked selection) to the restaurant and bar offering. Everything was very tasty.

United KingdomNo much really, Hotel looks aged on the outside , but right on the sea it gets weather beaten.
Location, lovely beach / shore for walks , very comfy well facilitated room. Food pretty good, we had a bit of dinner order mess up and the whole dinner cost was taken form the bill, an apology and a free drink would have been acceptable, Quiet location , nice old pub next door . Great breakfast Not far from St Andrews and a much cheaper option if in Fife.

United KingdomThe car parking was a bit chaotic not helped by the Largo art festival week being on, as this resulted in the car park being closed and all guests having to park their car in the public car parks or on the road.
The view from the bedroom was exceptional and the sound of the waves at high tide was very relaxing. The food was very good and all the staff were very nice and friendly.

GermanyHotel with a story right by the sea. Tastefully decorated modern rooms. Comfortable beds. Excellent and healthy breakfast and superb dining in the Hotel and the sister restaurant Ship Inn in Elie (- with free shuttle service). Authentic bar with pool billiard, dart and live music. Very nice and helpful staff. Great starting point for visiting the lovely Scottish coast, Isle of May and St. Andrews.

United KingdomThe adjoining door to next room, understand it's good for bigger families if required however we could hear every word of guests next door (and vice versa). They have ones without adjoining door so worth asking next time.
Food was good, dinner and breakfast, all staff were lovely, great location on beach for dog walks.

United KingdomWhat a Beautiful hotel in a gorgeous location. Dog friendly, big win. Our room was gorgeous, looked on to the sea. Very clean. Breakfast was lovely, great selection. Haggis on the full Scottish breakfast was the best I've ever had. We ate at the hotel in the evening and wasn't disappointed. The staff are lovely, welcoming and accommodating. We look forward to staying with The Crusoe again.

United KingdomNothing we didn’t like about the property. The evening meal was delicious and good value but the portions were too large for many of our party.
Location was amazing - right on the beach and the Fife Coastal Path. The service was exceptional and the staff really went out of their way to make sure we enjoyed our stay, sharing local transport information and even posted on some personal property that we left behind.

United KingdomAny complaint here would be trivial ( no marmalade for breakfast?). We enjoyed our stay very much.
Breakfast was absolutely excellent and we enjoyed every morning. Staff at this hotel were generally outstanding in terms of customer care. We were very happy to stay there and would not hesitate about returning, The location was also quite dramatic , being right on the high tide mark. I was entertained by the copy of “Robinson Crusoe” in each room.

United KingdomCouldn’t complain about anything.
The property is right next to the sea. When they say sea view that is exactly what you get. So comfortable and relaxing. The breakfast was A+ and so was the service. All the staff especially the lovely receptionist couldn’t have been more helpful and friendly.
