Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 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...).

Alan was great, I arrived in the evening and he was quick to get me setup. Breakfast was nice and delivered to the room, room itself was perfect for someone travelling solo. Right at the start of the Kintyre 66 so it really is a great base of operations.

The comfy beds,the cute attic room in eaves of the house. The hotel was very tastefully decorated ( & I do love elephants,so maybe I'm biased) The breakfast was lovely,and views over the harbour from our room were great( even when Storm Babet was raging!!). A beautiful place that we would definitely return to. Keep up the great work. X

GermanyThe e-mail contact beforehand took some getting used to. First there was the detailed description, among other things, that you should choose breakfast between 07:30 and 08:30. Nothing more was said about this in this message. We then sent our choices back in the response. Then, under the comment "You may have seen it..", there is also the addition that you write the time later on a piece of paper and put it in the box in front of the door by 8 p.m. at the latest. Should have been better in the first description.
The location is excellent. Our chosen restaurant (Lullabelles) was also just a short stroll along the harbour. We had looked at the house in Google beforehand, so we found the entrance immediately. The "reception" is very unusual: you ring the bell, it buzzes and at the entrance there is a small plastic bag with a key - that's it. The suite is large and very nicely decorated. The Shiraz provided was excellent, nice idea. We had something similar in Oban, there it was a good sherry (it's also Scotland :-) ). You order breakfast with a note, which you put in a box until the evening. The "roll" mentioned there is a kind of burger bun with the chosen topping. In the morning, breakfast is then handed over briefly. It was only when we said goodbye that we had brief contact and were able to say thank you for the pleasant stay.
