Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomThe Saturday nightlife in Dundee might sound a little too "vibrant" for some: the seagulls maybe even more so!
Very interesting concept, well thought out & applied. Somehow very Dundonian!

United KingdomIt was slightly muggy when I stayed and I wasn't quite sure how to keep the window open without it shutting back down which is only a minor problem. Also I realise there are Glass facades above each room door but still found it a bit tricky walking around in the dark but this is a minor problem that im not quite sure how you solve without creating another issue for guests trying to sleep. Although it was my mistake in not contacting the property owners beforehand I was hoping to store a cabin bag before checking in. Upon ringing bells and contact numbers I got no response. Minor again and I just sat in the nearby Wetherspoons but the room was thankfully made up earlier than check in time anyway. If this is something important in booking ahead I would contact the owners and ask.
A throwback style guest house single room with shared facilities, not my usual booking but everything was impeccably clean and thought about carefully.

United KingdomRoom lock was a bit iffy. Pub across the road played VERY loud music until midnight.(fortunately it was in a style I like). Just a small thing (no pun intended) but I am just five feet tall and could only just reach the high key safe. Another inch and I wouldn't have been able to get in.
Central. Convenient for all attractions. Spotlessly clean. Comfy bed. Nice to have a microwave available and a communal fridge. Shower was electric with Immediate hot water. What a luxury!

United KingdomThe price, I appreciate my booking was last minute on account of me being kept on for another day of agency work, and prices are probably algorithmically worked out based on availability it the city, but for the same price a Tuesday at your very comfortable and quirky guest house, I got an en-suite room at hotel indigo on a Friday night. I have got zero complaints about your guest house but perhaps prices are a bit ambitious for the facilities offered.
It was warm, comfortable, staff were friendly.

United StatesThe location was excellent and the price was good. The man who runs it was nice. It was very near the river and the bridge and the new V&A museum, as well as the train and bus station and the center of town. In other words, it met my requirements.

United KingdomTiny loo on third floor but better than not having one! Understandable as the building is listed. Loved my room at the top anyway so not complaining.
Abalree was very relaxed and at home feeling. It was great for visiting the city highlights. Also good for finding places to eat. It was perfect fir the station and the river front and quiet as the street is pedestrianised. Lots of arty things to look at and an interesting old building.

GermanyNothing in particular, I had a nice stay
A great location in town, as the street right infront of the hostel is closed for cars. You can still unload, but there is no traffic noise, which is really nice. The communication with the hostel by phone was easy and friendly and our stay pleasant. The room we were in was facing the backside with a little noise from a restaurant, but we had a perfectly relaxing sleep. The room is individualy and slightly over decorated, but in a nice way. The hostel provides a microwave and dish cleaning facilities.

United KingdomMy key was not in the key safe. I had to wait for Reception to arrive. No breakfast served despite notices and information online. Plenty of eateries in same street that provide breakfast.
Central location of Aabalree is very suitable if a bit noisy due to outside seating of two bars...long after ...bar closing time....earplugs are a useful addition for the traveller!
