Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. 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. 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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

Minor fault, but the outside was in need of a little TLC but the inside more than made up for it, and certainly didn’t detract from our stay
It was perfectly situated for us as we were visiting family nearby. The fact that there was free parking and everywhere we needed to go was within walking distance so the car was rarely needed. It was spotlessly clean and comfortable, with tea, coffee and sugar provided which was handy after a long journey. Towels and washing facilities were provided too.

Parking a bit of a challenge but we managed to park close by. People live in separate accommodation above and when leaving their flat they walk past the windows in lounge. Shared garden so may be good idea to keep curtains closed! Could maybe provide some hooks to hang coats and towels on.
Location, cleanliness, good sized rooms, large bed, well equipped kitchen, good sized TV, double shower, comfortable lounge. Super washing machine, good fridge etc. Cleaning materials provided as well as towels.

I can't fault the place. Even buying some milk for teabags was easy as shops are within 5 minutes walk.
Very clean, newly decorated. Comfy bed. Very convenient to restaurants takeaways and pubs. Great base for travel to Loch lomond and further north. Id very very highly recommend the mandarin Chinese takeaway up the road a bit. Me n wife thought it was the best Chinese we had ever tasted. The flat was also warm n cosy and a great big well ventilated shower.

There were a few small areas where cleaning could’ve been improved. Hairs in shower and on bedding. Only one quarter of a toilet roll was left for my arrival.
Ideally located and well put together flat. Has most of what you’d need for a few days and staff were helpful

The flat was perfect in every way. Bijou is how I would describe it. The only thing I would change would be a more comfortable sofa but appreciate there’s not a lot of space so the one there fits well.
Liked the garden area for the dog. Loved the location. Central to everything. Kitted out with an everything needed for out stay.
