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

Verified reviewLocation
Tv up the corner. No space to put things in bathroom.
Seriously, how very rude!!! The TV is a 40 inch smart TV placed on a cabinet with drawers, which can be viewed from anywhere in the room, and the bathroom is brand new with a vanity unit with a cupboard and shelves along with another unit for your toiletries. You completely trashed the room, leaving soaking wet towels on the new bedding and the shower still running, and enough rubbish for a weeks stay after your 1 night stay with us. Additionally, you completely emptied the complimentary refreshments area, taking 2 hot chocolates, 15 coffees, 16 teas and everything else you could get in your bag, along with a very large breakfast each!! It took my cleaner almost 2 hours to clean the room, a record for a 1 night guest. Additionally, your views on immigration during breakfast service were unnecessary and quite possibly hate crime. Unbelievably poor behaviour, and certainly something small, family run businesses can do without.

Verified reviewCraigmount is above a 5* rating. Nicole and Mal have thought of everything to make the stay the best possible experience, from the pleasant and welcoming greeting to the moment you leave. Our room was amazing with a Peter Pan theme, it was quiet, spotless and provided everything you might need. The bed and bedding is first class. The attention to detail goes above and beyond and second to none. Breakfast and evening meal was fantastic with so much choice. I can honestly say our hosts and the accommodation were outstanding. Wished we could have stayed much longer.
Leaving!

Verified reviewGood location on the edge of Wigtown, the ‘Book Capital of Scotland’, but only a short walk into town. We had a comfortable en-suite room named ‘Ring of Bright Water’ and themed after the author Gavin Maxwell. We had planned ahead and booked an evening meal of home cooked chicken curry and lasagne. Both dishes were tasty and plentiful. Breakfast in the morning was cooked to order and superb. Nothing was too much trouble for our hosts. Thank you for making us feel welcome.
Nothing to dislike.

Verified reviewExcellent location for a book shopping trip to Wigtown. I honestly wish we had been able to stay more than one night - the hosts were wonderful - very friendly and gracious with advice and recommendations for our continued journey to Glasgow and Edinburgh (Mal recommended taking the coastal road which was a scenic delight). Breakfast was superb - my first time trying haggis and black pudding, both of which were terrific. The rooms were spotless, spacious, and well appointed and the beds were quite comfortable. If our future travels brings us to the area, this will be our first choice for accommodations!
Navigating the driveway in our large van was a little tight, but certainly manageable - a very minor quibble when everything else was so wonderful.

Verified reviewGood breakfast (pre-ordered for next day). Lots of books available. Good TV with iplayer available. V Good Wi-fi connection
We might have traded the sea-view for the extra flight of stairs: we being there to celebrate 80th this might not be a matter for the sprightly 70 year olds we once were. Wigtown seemed to be mostly closed - or open when convenient for shopkeepers - not just books - we failed to find an available splurge dinner venue to round off our trip having stupidly decided to stay Mon/Tues (this of course is no reflection on Craigmount itself.) The Co-op was the only store open 8am-10pm in the village. Isle of Whithorn was beautiful and boasted a very pleasant community cafe but again it closed at 3pm.
