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.).

GermanyA lovely little cottage with small details that made the stay even more enjoyable, Donna was there when needed and even answered my questions about where she got certain things in the rooms. Views from the balcony are great, a little bit out in the sticks but that is a plus as it is quiet and restful.

United KingdomThe midges. 🤣🤣 My friend had issues with the wifi but it worked alright for me.
Everything was superb and had great value for money. The cottage had everything we needed to be comfortable during our stay. It is indeed, a home away from home. I had the best sleep I had in years. Coming into the property, I was in awe of the sights. Our hosts put so much attention to detail and made sure we had all we needed. There was even prosecco waiting for us in the fridge. They compiled all the information we needed to maximise our visit to Skye. The place was so clean and smelled heavenly. Made me wanna stay in and forget about our plans. After a long day out, it was really refreshing to come back into our home for the duration of our stay. Donna and William even arranged transport to get to and from the property along with a side trip to the shop to get groceries. It was so thoughtful of them to do that. I loved everything about the property.

We have really enjoyed the cottage with the wonderful countryside view with the city noise near to none. The facilities were complete and the location is near to the portree town. Would really recommend this for anyone visiting the Isle of Skye.

NetherlandsIf I really have to say something negative, the WiFi wasn't working too well, but that's a very minor point, as the LTE coverage was good.
Great place, nice and quiet, very beautiful view. Homey atmosphere.

United StatesThis was not a problem for us, but a guest with mobility limitations might have difficulty with an upstairs kitchen and living room.
Excellent location with great views. very attractive interior design — truly a pleasant place to spend time. Considerate hosts.

Donna have thought of everything you think or didn't think you'd need in a cottage stay! Very well equipped, lovely decor, welcoming yet has character! The rooms were spacious as with the bathroom. The kitchen and living area are the perfect size for a getaway. It really was a home away from home, as we commented on how we could actually see ourselves living there! It is great to wake up to sheep and greenery! Would stay again when back in Skye.

United KingdomNothing. Could have easily stayed an extra few nights!
Beautifully decorated with everything you need for a stay away from home - really, everything has been thought of. The views from the balcony are amazing and it’s just so peaceful. The welcome goodies were also a nice touch. We didn’t meet Donna, the host, in person due to Covid, however she was always available via message or phone if needed (we didn’t need to get in touch during our stay, but good to know you can). The cottage is around 2 and a half miles (4K) from the centre of Portree, so if you like a drink of an evening, make sure you order a taxi in advance before the pubs shut as one night we were left stranded and had to walk home just after midnight. A lot of the walk was in pitch darkness too. Just a little tip! 😁 That aside, we’d most definitely return. The cottage - and Skye - is just beautiful!

United KingdomCharming cottage in a great location. Everything we needed was there. Lots of very nice touches (bottle of Prosecco, shortbread, etc) and good advice for day trips on the Isle of Skye. The kids loved the garden. It was great sitting on the balcony enjoying the view and watching them play. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will stay here again if we come back on the Isle of Skye.
