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.).

The room was a little bit tired not other than that it was good value for money.
The hotel is in the centre of Moffat and is easily accessible. Parking was ample in the council car park opposite the hotel and was free. The room was of a good size and the shower was fantastic.

Quite expensive for room only, with breakfast adding quite a bit to the overall cost, so I wouldn't say it was the best value for money.
Friendly staff and a spacious, clean room. Good food for our evening meal and a decent breakfast. Centrally located with loads of free parking nearby.

The hotel is right in th middle of Moffat. We had food on the evening and it was tremendous and good value for money. The room was a little small but adequate. The toilet and shower room was a bit cramped but once again not an issue. The staff were really friendly. The breakfast which was £10 was excellent.

This isn't a complaint but an observation, as it's inherent in the nature of the building; I noticed that you can hear what's going on in the adjacent rooms as the walls are thin – if you're a light sleeper, this may bother you.
I often stop off in Moffat as this is great wee town in a stunning location. For starters there's cheap fuel only a mile off the M74, there's also an antiques shop, a plant nursery, a great butcher, cafes, etc, all with free parking. This is the first time I've stayed overnight in the town and The Famous Star Hotel was excellent. I didn't eat there myself (instead choosing the Indian restaurant two doors down which was first class, and the Rumblin' Tum cafe for breakfast) but I heard a couple saying that the hotel food is very good. The bed was exceptionally comfortable, the hotel was spotlessly clean, the pub at the back was welcoming and serving a very fine ale local ale. I'd definitely stay again and shall have breakfast there next time.

The hot water tank provision is an issue. It is a very old system that heats the shower water with an immersion heater. It is not capable of dealing with guests showering at the same time. When the tank empties it makes this almighty noise that we had for about 15 minutes or so. We were unsure if this would continue through the night. We went to reception and they said it had never happened before. However, the signs in the bathrooms share that the hot water is limited and that you may have to wait for hot water but to be patient. Thankfully after about 9pm the hotel was really quiet and we slept well.
Our room was clean, nice and well presented. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was fit for purpose.
