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 StatesEverything was excellent!
Andy and Lian are superb hosts. They made our stay comfortable and memorable in every way. Lian bakes the bread and offered us a couple of slices of her homemade cake to enjoy on our journey around Skye and then the day we left.

United StatesThe highlight is really the owners, Andy and Lian Na, who make you feel at home from the moment you arrive. The b&b is located in a convenient spot for adventures around Skye, which you’ll be well prepared for after a delicious home-cooked breakfast, and well rewarded for by an extremely comfortable bed. One warning is to definitely book dinner reservations in advance because they fill up and don’t seem to have wiggle room for walk ins as they close early, and they will not let you in.

United StatesAbsolutely lovely by every standard. This is the cleanest place I have ever stayed. I would say it’s just like staying at home, but it’s way better than my house. Every detail was carefully considered and my hosts went above and beyond to accommodate my spouse’s food allergy. If you are looking for an unforgettable place to stay in Portree, this is it.

United KingdomThere was nothing to dislike. In our opinion you could not fault it.
We booked this as being a great base to explore the Isle of Skye and it certainly did not disappoint. The accommodation was excellent and the owners were 1st class. They were very friendly and could not do enough for you. On arrival everything was explained to us, there was plenty of information available on the local area and apart from our room there was also a guest lounge where you could go and relax rather than being in your room which I must say was very comfortable. The breakfast was excellent all freshly cooked according to your choice made beforehand. We certainly enjoyed our time at the Roses bed and breakfast and would not hesitate in booking there again.

New ZealandOur room had the bathroom opposite, it wasn’t a problem at all, but midnight runs to the loo meant donning a robe 😂. We prefer a bathroom within our room. This didn’t take away from our stay at all, just be aware you may need a robe.
Where do I start? From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel so welcome. Our room was perfect with all the little extras to make it homely. The breakfast was scrumptious (even if I didn’t steal the recipe for the home-made bread) and it was the best haggis I’ve ever eaten. The hosts, Lian Na and Andy, were absolutely delightful, and helped immensely with tips on what to see, where to go. And, the birds! Watching them at the feeder was a highlight. Altogether a great place to stay.

United StatesAndy & Lian are outstanding hosts - they went beyond the call of duty to provide my wife with gluten free breakfast options and snacks! The Roses is conveniently located just outside Portree, walkable distance to town center. The breakfasts were wonderful, in a dining room with outstanding views & it's own bird feeder entertainment each morning. Our room was spacious & clean, bed was very comfortable. Would definitely stay here again!
