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 KingdomWalls quite thin. If you are a light sleeper bring a set of earbuds. You might be unlucky to have a room next to a heavy snorer (or a snorer duo...). And if you are a heavy snorer then consider the other guests and point your snoring nose away from the walls or hide it under a pillow.
Welcoming host. Great breakfast.

SwedenIf you are 6'5 tall you may find that the bed is a tiny bit too short :)
Excellent host! Service is like a hotel but with a much more personal experience. Clean. Quiet (do not be concerned about closeness to airport). Lovely location, where small town meets countryside. 30 min by bus to downtown Edinburgh (bus app works well). Also, if you have a car, Sabannga Thai restaurant 3 miles away comes highly recommended.

United KingdomThe only slight issue was that there wasn`t a lot of water pressure on the shower, but we have found that to be quite a common thing with b&b`s & it was adequate enough for the job, so no complaints
Our room was clean & comfortable & Lorna was a good & friendly host. The breakfast was very good with plenty of options. A short walk away there is a small local pub in the village that serves good food. The location was good for us as it is far enough away from the city to be quiet but only about 15 - 20 mins away from the park & ride. There is also a small country park a very short walk away which is a bit of a hidden gem.

We booked the Whitecroft B&B as a final stay in Scotland before our flight home. It was a wonderfully relaxing way to end our trip. The breakfast was amazing! And the beds were so comfortable. The treats in the room along with the coffee/tea service included our favorite Tunnock's caramel wafers.

AustraliaThe owners gave us a very warm welcome and the property had a lovely ambience. We had everything that we needed for a lovely stay and a lovely touch were the complimentary chocolates and caramel wafer biscuits which we really enjoyed! In the morning we enjoyed a lovely Scottish breakfast which we’d highly recommend. Thank you very much Lorna & Dougie for welcoming us into your home, we had a really lovely stay.

CanadaIt was further from the airport than we realized about a 30 pound taxi ride both ways ( with tip). The cars racing past at night kept us awake - but what really disturbed our rest was the couple talking in the next room. They weren’t loud but …Paper thin walls!
Small but very comfortable twin room. These are hard to come by!
