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 KingdomNothing, exceeded all expectations.
Amazing stay here. Nice homely B&B with Barbara as host, you want for nothing. Everything you could possibly need is in the room, and even things you don’t expect from a B&B. Easy to find, simple pre arrangement for arrival time. It is nicely in the middle of nowhere, but not far away from anything you need. Room was plenty warm enough, shower was great, and bed was comfy for a really good night sleep. Breakfast is freshly cooked on the most amazing AGA, and you cannot possibly leave hungry, the quality and quality of the food was exceptional. Would happily return without hesitation.

United StatesNot restaurant near by - host helped with ordering food in.
Breakfast was excellent. Room, host Barbara, and en-suite were excellent. Hard to find the Remus. After you enter the gate there is no sign or doorbell on the entrance to indicate you are in the correct place. A sign and a bell would make it perfect.

CanadaWe were looking for a few days to wind down after a busy 3+ weeks of travel in Scotland and Barbara and her Remus B and B ticked all of the boxes. A very clean, well-appointed room was comfortable with access to shared rooms, her breakfast choices were well-prepared and tasty, and the location offered us the opportunity to have easy access to a number of points of interest with little travel time.

United KingdomThe shower-tray was frighteningly slippy, but when we reported it a mat was given us that proved ideal to stand on whilst showering.
Breakfast was superb, very easy to over-eat! Bed was very comfortable. Very personal service because we could just ask the B&B owner for anything at any time, it was a home from home. We even had a fridge in our room which was handy. Guests asked for advice on shopping & travel in the locality too.

Everything at this property is fantastic, owner was welcoming and lovely. The quality of food at breakfast was fantastic, there was so much we had to ask for smaller serving. An added bonus was the range of tea/coffees PLUS quality choc biscuits, large bag of hand cooked crisps and a bottle of prosecco in the small fridge.

United KingdomNothing!
The accommodation was spotlessly clean, beautifully designed and spacious. As well as the ensuite bedroom we had use of the lounge, dining area and could use the kitchen facilities. The host Barbara was fantastic! She looked after us very well and made our stay comfortable. We loved the home cooked Scottish breakfast and enjoyed the rural location with access to beautiful woods and countryside walks. The nearby train station in Cardenden is a direct route to Edinburgh and other places of interest like Dunfermline. The location is near the main roads and motorways too. We highly recommend this B&B for a quiet rural retreat while exploring Fife.

United KingdomBreakfast at Remus B&B was excellent: large, delicious cooked breakfast as well as fresh fruit, cereals, yogurts along with orange juice and tea & coffee. A great start to each morning. Very comfortable bed & lots of clean towels. The location of the B&B near Loch Leven is a great base for exploring Fife & Perthshire.

United KingdomBed was quite soft and slopes towards head area where everyone has sat watching TV, lead on kettle was short which made it awkward to plug into extension lead, sink in bathroom small and no light to do make up. Although plenty of choice for breakfast limited as a vegetarian (perhaps offer vegetarian sausages).
Great size room with a garden view in a quiet location, had a fridge and some thoughtful extras (fizz & biccies, bathrobes and slippers) , fab choice of tea/coffee, has a large bathroom with plenty of fluffy towels, nice dining area looking out over the yard with plenty of choice for breakfast.

United StatesNothing. It was perfect.
We couldn't have been happier with our stay at Remus B&B. While my husband worked, I enjoyed relaxing at the beautiful property. The bed was incredibly comfy (great bedding too), our room was perfect looking out on the garden with a cute pregnant pony, huge fluffy towels. great shower, plenty of hanging and drawer space, in-room mini-fridge with snacks and drinks, in-room kettle and teas, perfect wifi and a great tv. The shared space (lounge, breakfast room, etc.) was beautifully decorated and comfortable. The daily full breakfast was so delicious. The hostess, Barbara, was the icing on this perfect cake: friendly, helpful, always with a smile. We hope to return some day!

From the moment I walked in I was blown away at how beautiful this B&B was. It is tastefully decorated and it was immaculate. The room we were in was so comfortable and inviting. The fridge was stocked with wine, water,milk, chocolate biscuits and a large packet of crisps. There was also shampoo and conditioner as well as body wash (the shower was amazing) and the fluffy white towels were a treat 😉 My husband is a bad sleeper but the bed was so comfortable he slept right through. Barbara was so welcoming and very friendly. The breakfast was absolutely tasty. It is all freshly cooked by Barbara and she asks you what time you would like breakfast (unlike other places where it is a set time. I could honestly go on about this B&B i would recommend this B&B 100%
