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.).

AustraliaRooms beginning to get tired, although owner says that they are gradually refurbishing. Room had no air-conditioning and ensuite bathrooms are a bit small. Some guests might find the food portions too generous.
Staff were very helpful and friendly. Owner was on site and visible to all patrons, even taking time out to join locals and guests in the hotel bar. Locals were very welcoming. Food was exceptional, particularly as one of us is vegan.. On Sunday there was neither lunch not dinner served - instead there was high tea. Visitors from Australia will learn the true meaning of this - fork-and-knife meal which slots in between late lunch and early dinner, followed by more scones and cakes than you can eat, all washed down with plenty of tea, coffee and whatever else you choose. Non-residents took party bags of cakes home with them. if anything this stay was even better than our 2024 visit. Old-style hotel with personal feel, beautiful woodwork and feature stained glass illuminated stairs. Russel Flint prints, which I love. Great location for exploring this part of Fife.

United KingdomI can't really think of anything that I didn't like in any way. The building work did not bother us. We had breakfast and were gone each day before it started. Maybe the bar could open a little later!
All staff were friendly, helpful and efficient. The full breakfast was very good quality and there was plenty of it. We got horrendously delayed by train issues coming up from London. I called the hotel and they could not have been more helpful. We didn't get there until 10.15pm and they allowed us to check in that late and gave us the keys. It took a great deal of stress out of the situation!

CanadaThere was a very noisy wedding reception right under my room, which I was advised of while checking in. I wasn’t particularly bothered because the hotel has to make money and you can’t stop people from enjoying themselves; I simply retired to the bar, had a large glass of wine and went through my emails until the party finished. The manager apologized profusely to me, but I told him there was no need (my late Dad was in the travel business for his entire career and I understand how these things work).
I liked the restaurant and the bar; my dinner was excellent and the serving staff were pleasant, helpful and efficient.
