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.).

ChinaThe reception is in the Dunvegan bar (west of No 5 Pilmour), not at No 5 Pilmour. Don’t know whether if arriving late the bar will be closed.
Awwwwwesoooome! The room is clean and well be cleaned daily. Cookies provided daily. Breakfast contains amount of choices like bagel+salmon or salmon+eggs (yet don’t know whether can order two or more once because I only order one). The location is really great as its in the town center and not far from the bus station. Some bar’s nearby.

United KingdomCold rooms on arrival. Variation in the quality of the rooms and a need for maintenance in the upstairs rooms. The noise in the upstairs bedroom from the boiler did disturb the kids sleep and the cracks in the plaster on the stairs needs to be addressed.
Excellent location. The rooms were of various quantity. Our room was fabulous but my kids had a room on the top floor which was slightly shabby with rips in the wallpaper and loud noise from the boiler in the cupboard in the room. Maintenance is needed to the plaster work on the stairs to this floor. On arrival the building had been closed over Christmas and was cold but extra heaters were supplied and the rooms warmed up nicely. Our host was lovely and supplied wonderful breakfasts with the best pancakes we have ever tasted.

United StatesBathroom facilities a bit quirky and could use some storage in the bathroom. I've stayed here before and the room on the top floor is not as nice as the ground floor. It fit what we needed though for this trip. You do hear all the guests arriving for breakfast which I was surprised to hear from the top floor.
Breakfast was great and Peter was great about communicating with me despite my severely delayed arrival. Getting in was easy thanks to detailed instructions. The beds are really comfortable as well as the pillows, we slept great.
