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 StatesThe beds were old and uncomfortable. We stayed there on a Sunday and there’s a drag race event nearby. So beginning early in the morning there were over a hundred noisy muffler, revving, hot rod cars driving right through town in front of the hotel. If your room is facing the road it’s extremely noisy. This isn’t the fault of the hotel but it was very unpleasant to listen to.
It’s a great location and very charming.

United KingdomThe water system in the ensuite was quite noisy, but that was due to the saniflo toilet, presumably installed as its a very old building and harder to install standard plumbing. Also due to the age if the building, we had to open the front street facing windows as it was very warm, so quite noisy from traffic and general street life. Understandable though, but just to be aware.
Stayed there for 2 nights as we were attending a wedding locally, bed was super comfy and huge, breakfast was great, fresh and very filling, staff friendly and helpful

LuxembourgThe pipes were loudly vibrating in the room when my friend was taking a shower. And the beds seemed a bit unstable.
Huge room with tea, coffee, cookies and bottled water. Quite hotel despite the pub and super friendly staff. Parking available just opposite the building.

United KingdomThe hot water supply to the wash hand basin was very slow and rather a long time to reach a hot temperature. We didn't use the shower as we felt that the water pressure would be insufficient. There was a constant smell of cooking oil/fat in the room. The room we had number 6 was at the top of the hotel up a quite steep set of stairs, we felt that this should have been mentioned in the room description. The staff were very helpful.
The room was a reasonable size clean and well equipped. The breakfast was extremely good,two eggs,two link sausages, a square sausage,baked beans,black pudding and a tattie scone. There was fruit, yogurt and toast as well as coffee.

United KingdomThe shower made a very loud noise and the pillows were a little uncomfortable.
Excellent service from staff. We ordered drinks for room service and they arrived within a few minutes! The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The manager offered leaving our bags while we explored Crail which was kind. Lovely olde world hotel with a genuine feel of the past which is rare amongst the over-renovated old hotels. Lovely breakfast with plenty to eat and friendly staff.
