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 KingdomI enjoyed my short stay in the hideaway immensely. It’s very comfortable and cosy inside, and in such a peaceful location - I particularly enjoyed sitting in the garden in the evening. Angela is a thoughtful and generous host: the breakfast items and snacks she’d left in the fridge and cupboards made all the difference to me over the weekend!

This is a really great stay, and its hidden amongst a lovely garden so lovely and quiet. The bed was comfortable and the shower was excellent. There is a fully stocked cupboard and fridge, and you have access to a kitchen as well which is great too! Beautifully decorated inside and out. The host was so helpful and showed us everything. A must stay in St Vigeons!

United StatesNothing. Everything was great!
Everything was wonderful! Angela is a wonderful hostess. The fridge was stocked with breakfast items and the microwave made it possible for me to heat up soup or something for dinner if I wanted. I really liked being able to take my breakfast/ dinner out to the little enclosed patio and appreciate being outside but still protected from the elements. The Hideaway is secluded if you want alone time but close enough to the town to still be able to participate in things. Tucked right across the street from St Vigeans Church and next to the little museum with Pictish carved stones (both of which are great to visit). It has beautiful walks into the countryside right behind the Hideaway and is only about a mile walk along a little creek to Arbroath Abbey. Another half mile walk through downtown and you’re at Arbroath Harbour. I couldn’t say enough wonderful things about this as it was perfect for my time there.

United KingdomNothing. The Hideaway was perfect.
Everything, a small piece of paradise tucked away in St Vigeans on the outskirts of Arbroath(Angus) Scotland 🏴 If you are wanting a peaceful getaway this is the place to go. The fridge and cupboards are well stocked for breakfast, books for reading and a tv, not that you will have it on as you sit in the beautifully kept gardens. Thanks once again to Angela.

United KingdomThis is a fantastic choice for a night or two in the Arbroath area. It’s more than just a room for the night. The accommodation is private, peaceful, cosy and has everything you’ll need. It’s like a garden room or five star bothy as it stands alone from the owner’s property. Super comfy bed, had the best night’s sleep! Lovely sitting out area too. Plenty of choice provided with continental breakfast. Able to easily walk into Arbroath along the path network from Kirkstyle Hideaway. Owner was friendly and easy to contact if we needed anything.

United Kingdomnothing, it was lovely.
Such a cute, cosy space with all the amenities you could want. Spotlessly clean and in a lovely location. The continental breakfast was very generous and provided ahead of time, meaning you could have total privacy if needed. I was in the area for a very distressing and unexpected funeral. The owner could not have been nicer and provided me with really helpful directions to the crematorium and this was very much appreciated.
