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...).

United KingdomExternal door to room in new external extension building was left by customers to bang shut. Perhaps signage on r a slow closer would rectify this?

United KingdomThe en-suite toilet and shower were rather cramped, whilst the washbasin was in the bedroom.
The hotel is located close to the railway station and is a short walk from the town centre. The room was very clean and comfortable and there was no intrusive noise. The bed was very comfy The hotel is a popular eating place and that is not surprising given the quality and range of food on offer, including a good choice of vegetarian dihes. The service is quick and the staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful. All the public areas are well maintained and the whole hotel has an air of freshness.

United StatesEverything about our stay was easy and inviting. We took the train to Elgin and just walked a few minutes up the road (there is a well-paved sidewalk for roller bags) to check in. The first level of the hotel has a bar and large restaurant and it is all very warm and welcoming. The rooms are each unique and have the basics of what you need. A few minutes walk from the hotel is a cute town with a bunch of restaurants. Check in was quick and check out was even easier (just leave your key at the front).

The staff was friendly and went the extra mile! They took the time to ask questions and felt welcome. The room was very spacious with a comfortable bed and a nice shower. The choices for food from the restaurant was excellent and was reasonable priced! Definitely if I am back in the area will be staying there hands down!

United KingdomMissed having a guests lounge but obviously the space is needed for guest facilities such as dining, etc.
Breakfast was perfect and choice was great. Only little criticism as that a bit more Scottishness would have been a nice touch especially for overseas visitors.
