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 StatesI didn't do a good job reading the instructions so it took a bit to figure out the directions to the house and the code to get in. The hotel staff was very helpful.
Beautiful views, modern design, comfortable room, well stocked with everything we needed. Great breakfast at the hotel. Dinner was also great. Wonderful hotel staff.

There cannot be a better location with as scenic a view in at least Portree, and maybe Skye. Beautifully decorated with luxury appointments, and attentive property manager. Huge deck with hot tub with direct view of iconic Portree painted buildings on harbor. Also located directly at the entrance to the Scorrybreac Trail. Absolutely perfect.

United StatesNo - wonderful!
Just phenomenal! If you want to feel special and really have an amazing time this is the place. The guest house is beautiful and with the best view on the island and a short walk to the Portree town (5 mins). It is an extension of a beautiful hotel so you have your privacy but with all the amenities of a high end hotel (breakfast, access to dinner, cleaning service, etc…) The hot tub with a full view of the lake is the perfect place to end the day after a hike and they have thought of it all - fully stocked mini fridge with gin tonic, beers and everything for a capuchino. Truly worthwhile - highly recommend.

As seasoned luxury travelers, my husband and I have stayed at many high-end properties around the world. However, we can confidently say that Vriskaig Luxury Guest Suite in Portree, Scotland, is the best place we have ever stayed! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the iconic and breathtaking views, exceptional service, and world-class amenities. Leah and Edward, the hosts, were amazing and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect. Every detail was thoughtfully considered, from the plush bathrobes to the fully stocked mini bar. The hot tub was clean and modern, and the perfect place to relax after a long day of exploring the stunning Scottish countryside. And let me not forget the breakfast provided at the next door hotel was a great Scottish and continental spread and was complimentary! We also appreciated how quickly they provided us with a portable AC when we found the night temperature a bit warmer than we preferred. Their prompt attention to our comfort was impressive. Moreover, the property decor is so contemporary and beautiful. It's clear that a lot of thought went into creating a stylish and comfortable space that perfectly complements the natural beauty of the surroundings. We've stayed at some of the world's most luxurious accommodations, but Vriskaig Luxury Guest Suite was even better than staying at a Four Seasons resort! This property is the ultimate in comfort, style, and service, and Leah and Edward are fantastic hosts. We cannot recommend it enough. If you're looking for an unforgettable luxury getaway in the Skye, book your stay here! You won't regret it!

United StatesWould have liked a small bench inside the front door for putting shoes on, a few hooks for hanging wet raincoats and an additional mat inside front door so as to keep wet and muddy boots off the beautiful wood floors.
The view was amazing! Walking distance to shops and restaurants. Hot tub! Fully stocked mini bar. Lovely finishes throughout the suite. Welcoming host!
