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 KingdomI had booked a superior room with a sea view and paid more for it, only to find my sister's standard room was exactly the same, maybe a tiny wee bit smaller but everything else was the same. The toilets were often locked and the reception wasn't always manned properly, so we had to wait to collect our room keys or get the key for the toilet. Food in the restaurant was very disappointing. The breakfast was fine.
The view was lovely and being near to the shops was good too.

United StatesThe tub was a bit hard to get in and out of, but the water was warm enough Hot breakfasts were nice, if a bit salty. The rooms were fairly spartan, but about normal for a 3-star hotel.
No washcloth, but I think that’s a Scottish thing. There was plenty of toilet paper, the bedding was comfortable. Room had a lovely view. The breakfast was lovely. Hot breakfast included in price! The vegetarian highlander breakfast was yummy; the meaty one was adequate. Alison took great care of us both mornings! This hotel is in an excellent location. One flight of stairs down to the pier and just a hop, skip, and a jump from “the lump” for great views.

United StatesThe mattress seemed very old, it was not comfortable at all. And nothing against the hotel, but most places in Portree were not open until April 1.
We loved the customer service, everyone was very friendly and helpful! Highland hospitality at its best. Good location to travel Skye! The view from the room was amazing.

United KingdomOld building in need of some updating. Room was ok with a restricted view over the water. Pillows thin and the duvet the same... Felt like cardboard in my view! £218 for 2 nights stay midweek is far too much for what you get. I've paid less for a country mansion with a swimming pool.
Location was good, close to the water with the coloured buildings nearby.

United KingdomBreakfast was poor on the first morning of our stay. Cooked breakfast overcooked and like it had been just kept warm for a long time. Scrambled eggs cold although reheated when waiting staff informed, who were apologetic. Coffee also not very hot. Breakfast much improved the following morning, ? different chef. Although waiting staff were pleasant in manner they did appear disorganised. Shown to dining table on arrival however no explanation as to how system worked ie self service for breakfast buffet. Also did not clear used crockery and cutlery before serving cooked breakfasts.
Location was great. Hotel, room and bathroom very clean and comfortable. Receptionists and housekeeping staff welcoming and friendly.

United KingdomFull highland breakfast was lukewarm even near the start of service. Potato scone was solid as if it was carried over from previous day. No caffeinated coffee sachets to refill room supply. The hotel should give a map location/What 3 Words reference for the car park as it’s not obvious where it was at all.

BrazilThe shower wasn’t working very well, as it went from hot to cold within seconds. Besides that, it was a pleasant experience.
Good price with a good location. The hotel is a little bit old, but not much different from the rest of Scotland. The breakfast was really good and had several options. The room view was adorable as well.
