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 KingdomA minor point: probably it can't be improved because of low water pressure, but shower was on the weak side.
Amazing view from lounge; kindness and welcome from reception and restaurant staff; both breakfast and dinner were very good because of food quality and service.

United KingdomThis isn’t the property fault but be warned about the midges (wee flies that would try the patience of Saint)
The location is perfect for visits to the abbey and the north shore’s white Sandy beaches. There’s plenty of space around the hotel to relax.

United KingdomExcellent dining. Staff going above and beyond...they alerted me that my check in time is incompatible with the last ferry. Most importantly, you will get to see 'empty' Iona... before the day tourists arrive and after they leave.

United KingdomThe room was very basic even though it was clean and comfortable. The en suite was very small. The food was a little disappointing and not value for money.
The staff were incredibly welcoming and efficient. The lounge was comfortable with a wonderful view.

United KingdomI just felt that the single room was a little overpriced for what it was - it reminded me a bit of student accommodation. On the mainland I could get a much larger (double) room with more modern facilities for around £20 less. That said, you are paying a premium for the location and it wouldn't put me off staying again.
Location was perfect for exploring the island of Iona and very easy to get to from the ferry. The room was clean, comfortable and functional. Breakfast was excellent!

United KingdomNothing.
Great views across the sound of Iona in the distance, birds singing, sheep grazing in the foreground whenever we sit to eat at the restaurant. Great selection of breakfast and dinner and especially recommend the fresh local lamb. Vegetables and fruit from own organic garden. Room was neat and bed was comfy.

United KingdomThe walls and ceiling in room may be a bit thin so could hear upstairs guests moving and walking all the time, and people in the lounge. But maybe they put us in an unfortunate location. Not a big deal though, unless you are sensitive to these things.
Location near abbey excellent, magical. Hotel grounds lovely. Breakfast and dinner wonderful (not big portions though). Iona island is heaven. Staff exceptional, really nice all of them.

United KingdomOnly one minor quibble, which was that the bed-head light had not been checked and was not working. This didn't affect my comfort adversely, as I didn't need it.
Welcome was courteous and friendly... All staff struck a good balance between professional attentiveness and relaxed human warmth, and showed a willingness to go out of their way to be helpful... And the food was excellent.
