Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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...).

United KingdomRoad up to property a bit rough but not unusual in Skye. Only the last 3 miles out of around 15 miles from Portree. Impression on booking site was that it was close to Portree but was in fact 1/2 an hour away, something we didn't realise until reading some reviews the night before going. Neither of the above spoilt our stay.
Beautiful location. Property very comfy, cosy and clean. Well fitted out with everything we needed for our stay. Helpful maps and tourist information in property. History of that area very interesting and provided in property. Dog friendly. Car parking

United KingdomHost didn’t know we had booked the property, we turned up to the main hotel to get the pin for the lockbox to our cottage and the hosts looked at us if we were lost travellers. When I advised we had booked the property they replied “have you? Well it must have been just in the last 5 minutes”, no not really it was booked in the morning and we arrived late in the evening. I’m assuming it’s because we booked during January which is their quiet season but the hotel wasn’t open, neither was the kitchen for dinner or breakfast. Since the property is located in the most remote part of the island we felt somewhat stranded without a proper meal, it is a good 45 minute drive into any major location to get a takeaway or eat in. Road leading to the property isn’t ideal due to its remote location, lots of bendy roads and very narrow without streetlights, once you get close to the property it becomes narrow gravel path.
Luxurious property, well kept and clean. Bed was one of the comfiest I’ve ever experienced. Complimentary tea and coffee left in property which was a nice touch. Enjoyed our stay.

United KingdomSettee very uncomfortable when you sat on it would sink down Despite stating property was in Portree was in fact 30 minutes from Portree. Very remote. Due to this distance there was a few places further south of the island we were unable to do as too far.

United StatesThe listing made it sound like the property was very close to Portree - given how windy, pothole impacted and generally challenging to drive, that description was a bit misleading. I think the service around the restaurant needs some process and availability improvements. All guests should be able to easily access a table for diner. When one reads there is a restaurant on site, you assume this is for the guests of the inn. I suggest improving the communication up front with the room reservation. Something like: Are you planning to dine with us? If so check the boxes here. Then, pushing the guest to a dinner reservation system. In general, a guest should be able to have access to breakfast and some kind of hot meal at night. I heard I needed a reservation 7 days before I arrived for breakfast and dinner. I secured the breakfasts no problem but was only able to reserve for one night in advance and put on a “standby list” for my second night stay. Then, after I arrived, I received notification while I was out for the day sightseeing that I had indeed a spot for that evening’s meal. I was relieved to get it because driving in the dark home would have been a real drag for us on the main road. I witnessed a couple come into the Inn after a harrowing ten hour drive and told they would not be able to have dinner that night. There should be something available for every guest.
The setting was beautiful. The spaciousness of the room, and the overall comfort. I really liked having a restaurant, bar and setting space so close by because the effort to go out and eat elsewhere was challenging with the state of main road to the property.

Log fire and maybe a bath tub would have got it a 10 but that’s just being picky!

ItalyBeautiful cozy apartments in the North-west of Skye. The apartment is big, and perfectly decorated. The kitchen has everything that you need to cook a proper dinner. During the cold nights on Skye there's also a cute heater near the sofa. There is a window in front of the sofa with a stunning view on the wild nature of Skye. There is also a little window in the shower, so you can look at nature while showering. Highly recommended!

United Arab EmiratesAlthough the area is quiet - there is a room above with thin wooden floors and you can hear the guests walking around if they are heavy footed. Such beautiful views - yet hardly any windows to enjoy the view from inside.
What a lovely stay - definitely the highlight of our Scotland trip. Accommodation was cosy and quiet. The views were just beautiful. Great space for a family. Nice and clean. Located in the north part of the island so close enough access to the sights. Furthest area of interest was the fairy pools which was about 50 mins away. They have a laundry room that guests can use which was such a great help.

United StatesThe windows are small, due to the constraints of the original historic structure. But the inside lighting makes it cheerful and functional. We had meals at the table outside overlooking the spectacular view.
The peaceful setting, the crisp comfort of the space, so thoughtfully constructed, the hospitality, the views from the outside space. We visited Portree and after 20 minutes fled back to the peace of Monkstadt.
