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.).

United StatesWe loved everything. However, be mindful that you will have to drive a several mile single track logging road (with lots of pulloffs) to get to it and/or if you take the ferry across the bay instead, you will also have to drive a several mile single track road on that side. Highly recommend the ferry if you have a car as it is the oldest manual turnstile ferry in the world and the operators are very friendly and helpful. No big deal once you got used to the roads, but wanted to make sure you are aware of them.
What a hidden gem!!! Loved this B & B! The room was extremely clean and nicely appointed. The breakfast each day was plentiful and delicious and we were able to eat it outside enjoying the beautiful view of the bay. And the biggest asset here was the owners, Rebecca and Iain. They were both so friendly, helpful and willing to help with anything we needed. They were also fun to talk to as they are just downright nice people! Another hidden gem is the Glenelg Inn right next store. It looks like a little pub, but it is actually an excellent gourmet restaurant with a different menu each night. The staff was also excellent and friendly. We enjoyed it so much we ate there 2 out of 3 nights. However, you will definitely need to make a reservation if you want to get in as it has limited seating.

United KingdomWe didn’t appreciate that the B&B was so far from the town of Kyle of Lochalsh. However, when we got there, we were delighted with the accommodation.
The room was lovely and the view was tremendous. It was very well equipped and close to an inn for an evening meal.

United StatesNothing, it was perfection.
The location was absolutely stunning. Everything about this place was charming. From the incredible hosts down to every last detail they put into their BnB. We were meant to run out at sunrise to one of the nearby castles but we were so enamored by our stay we decided to watch the sunrise here with breakfast instead. Words cannot describe how unbelievable this place truly is. The pictures just do not do it justice. We'll 1000% be back in hopes to stay much longer. 1000/10

We loved the location it was peaceful, private and the view was stunning. The bed was very comfortable and we appreciated the lovely fresh white towels & heated towel rail.

Everything! The room is beautiful, cosy, and very well equipped with an exceptional view on the bay. The location, far from the croud but close from the Isle of Sky thanks to the ferry which is only a few minutes away by car. The great breakfast And what we appreciated a lot, the very friendly host, Rebecca, who took the time to advise us on some great places to visit.

United KingdomAbsolutely nothing.
A really beautiful place to stay with lovely views looking out to Skye. The accommodation is superb, it’s more like a little holiday cottage than a B&B. It’s very modern, clean and comfy, and the hosts are extremely friendly and helpful. The continental style breakfast which was left in the room was really lovely. Would definitely stay here again when returning to this part of Scotland. Highly recommended.

FranceWhat an amazing place to spend time! Rebecca and Iain have created a haven for people who appreciate the beauty of Scotland's landscape and moments of contemplation. The room is top of the notch and everything is perfect : from the bathroom, the bed linen to the breakfast which was beautifully presented. Rebecca and Iain are warm and friendly hosts and they make you feel instantly welcome. They gave us good advice on things to see and do. We will most certainly be back.

GreeceWe had the pleasure of staying at Kirkton Bay and I must say, it was an experience worth raving about. From the moment we stepped foot onto the property, we were greeted by Rebecca with warmth and hospitality that set the tone for the rest of our stay. The space was spotless clean, with every corner meticulously maintained. We loved the decoration, and the hosts' personal touch was evident in every aspect of the accommodation. From the quality amenities such as the plush duvet and pillows to the luxurious bath products and elegant curtains, every detail was thoughtfully curated to enhance the guest experience. We were pleased with the breakfast selection which boasted a delightful and adequate array of options; cutlery was also provided and was collected and cleaned each day. Last, but by all means not least, was the truly breathtaking view and serenity we experienced. In conclusion, our stay was nothing short of exceptional, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking a high quality retreat with unparalleled hospitality.
