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...).

Equipped with everything a guest could need, very well thought out and the attention to detail was appreciated.

The venue had everything needed, it was on a short distance from the ferry and town, but felt like you were in the countryside The bed was super comfy and I slept like a baby.

AustraliaSome of the facilities didn't work as well as they could have eg a flickering light when turned on, or a bathroom heater not working. Minor issues that did not affect our overall stay at all.
Plenty of space. Good location and nice views. Helpful staff.

AustraliaPerched on top of the hill above Stromness, this was a great location with fantastic views across the country side. The host used a nice touch of having classical music playing when we arrived. It made for a lovely entry. One side of the apartment you could see fields and horses, the other side you could see a ruin of some sort. Very comfy with everything that you could need.

United States of AmericaThere was nothing I did not like.
I loved the personality of Stromness Apartments! Just little touches, like the art work and photos on the walls and the vase of fresh wildflowers in the kitchen window. It's out of town within a walkable distance, and is very quiet and peaceful. Alexander was the perfect host, and fun to talk to. This will be the first place I'll look to stay on my next trip to the Orkneys.

Alexander was a perfect host, the apartment was very clean and comfortable. Tastefully decorated and the location was excellent, close to the town of Stromness but lovely country location, quiet and good views. Very good value for money and close to all the historic destinations therefore an ideal base for out stay in Orkney. Thank you Alexander, we would love to stay with you again.⁰
