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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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):
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.
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.).

This property exceeding our expectations in every way! The location just outside of Portree was quiet but a 5 minute drive to town. The host generously stocked the kitchen with coffee, tea, bread and jams and also cereals available for breakfast. A wee bit of whisky as a welcome was a nice touch. The grounds are beautiful and the property itself is extremely comfortable and well decorated. We felt very much at home. Easy drive for all the sights we were visiting. Don’t hesitate to book!

Neat, clean self catering although well stocked for a self catering with a full loaf of bread, plenty of butter & various jams, 2 lts of milk, orange juice & breakfast cereals, everything one needs plus more. Each room had a beautiful en suite & a tray with a whiskey decanter & glasses & enough 12 year old Glenfiddich for a snifter each

It is beautiful, truly a hidden ‘Glen’ !! We felt so welcome with fresh bread and milk, every item and placement in the apartment was so thoughtful and easy to use. My family and I particularly enjoyed the morning and evening view from the front door over looking the beautiful garden. I am very particular about cleanliness, and truly it was above and beyond my expectations. I couldn’t be more happier. We were glad to stay for two nights, felt like home away from home.

AustraliaThe living space was quite small for 4 people. The apartment is out of the centre of town so you need to get into the car and drive into Portree for food supplies but this was made clear in the advertising material so we came prepared.
Sandra and Alastair were so friendly. They left lots of breakfast supplies for us. The apartment was equipped with everything that we needed.

United StatesLuckily we had read about no washcloths so brought our own. That might be my only suggestion is to provide washcloths in the bathrooms.
We loved EVERYTHING about this property! It is beautifully appointed with tons of extras to make your stay more comfortable. From the milk, OJ, bread for toast, butter, jam, coffee, tea, and of course the welcoming dram of whisky, we were extremely happy campers! The place was spotless and very well lit (poor lighting is one of my pet peeves in hotels!). We also loved how cutely it was decorated and the bathrooms were large with fantastic showers. You are only two miles from Portree, so very convenient. If traveling to Skye again, we would stay there again in a heartbeat!!

IndiaNothing at all
Have never stayed in a more thoughtfully done up place - whether it’s the aesthetics or the facilities provided. The space screams Skye in the subtlest of ways, whether it’s the local art adorning the walls or the smidge bug spray quietly placed in the cupboards - the attention to detail is better than any hotel I’ve stayed at. The location is excellent too and not very far from the Skye highlights of Storr and Quiraing. The town too, is a stones throw from the property. What’s more - we got a single malt welcome and even had cake, bread, cereal and milk available fresh for us. We arrived late at night and the hosts were super kind to make themselves available in the rain to let us in. They had provided for booklets on Skye and even placed board games in the side board. They even happily brought along their dog the next morning when i requested to meet them. What a stay!! Made it the most memorable time at Skye! Can’t wait to be back

United StatesWe loved the peaceful setting but it’s important to note that it is not walking distance from restaurants or shops. That wasn’t a problem for us, but it might catch some by surprise. Also, guests should plan ahead and make dinner reservations since restaurants were very crowded while we were there.
this is a beautiful, clean property with delightful hosts! The apartment was beautifully decorated and had all amenities that we needed or even expected (loaf of bread, milk, shortbread, 10-yr old scotch and coffee.) Our host even went out if his way to get us a small bucket of ice cubes.

full 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom cottage all to yourself. Our hosts took care of all the littlest details like having bread, milk, orange juice and water in the refrigerator for us, along with butter and jam and treats, coffee, the welcome bourbon… I could go on. the cottage is beautifully decorated and super clean. the showers had great water pressure/hot water. the beds were exceptionally comfortable. the location is roughly 1 mile to portree old town, grocery, shopping and restaurants and 5 miles to Storr. Right out the front door is a short road walk to a trail that runs along the water and cliffs. this trail goes into portree or away from it and connects to the long trails. this was absolutely stunning and I loved it even more than storr! our hosts were lovely people that clearly have a knack for this. we wouldn’t change a thing!
