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...).

SingaporeThe WiFi signal is very weak in the Macdonald Room. I sat on the floor right next to the room door to get any kind of signal. Or there's a seat on the stairs landing one floor below if you are desperate for a stronger WiFi signal.
Lovely hotel that sits on a small hill overlooking Portpatrick. Has a great view of the surrounding area. Friendly staff and a nice outdoor terrace at the front of the hotel for when the weather is nice. Stayed in the Macdonald Room. A large room on the top floor with far reaching views of the sea, Portpatrick harbour and views all the way to Northern Ireland. Tea & coffee making facilities in the room as well as a small fridge. Ideally placed cushioned window seat to watch the World go by.

United KingdomIt was quite warm and no fan was provided in the room. We opened windows but it was quite noisy outside so we had to close them. There was loud music from the town that we could hear even with the windows closed.
Great location. Staff were very friendly. Very quick and easy check in. The view from our room was lovely. Very clean!

United KingdomCar parking is not great unless there's a space outside the front when you arrive. Those with limited mobility may find it challenging - there's no lift and it's a steep climb back up the hill if you've been exploring the harbour and village. A little overpriced.
Good location for visiting Portpatrick. Comfortable accommodation.

United KingdomThe bathroom. It badly needs upgraded. The toilet seat was broken and left at the side. An old style bath was in the centre of the room. A shower attached to the bath taps. I couldn’t get in it as I’m small in height. There was a cheap half window curtain.
Great view from our room (Buchanan Suite) Perfectly situated with only a 5 min walk to the town.

United KingdomOur room had a lovely roll top bath with only a handheld shower attached to it. We would have preferred a walk in shower due to slight mobility issues. We Also it would be better not to advertise the room as having a side view of the sea as it’s not worth paying more for this room’s view.
Staff and food were great.
