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...).

SwitzerlandAs someone recovering from a leg injury I hadn’t realized there would be stairs. Maybe I missed it somehow in the listing but I think for people with accommodation issues you should make sure it more clear. I managed them and it was fine but if I had know. At the time I booked I might have considered it more closely.
Perfect set up, responsive host. Beds were comfortable and place had everything we needed

Initially, we had some difficulties locating the place but when we got there we found Skye View Cottage very comfortable and homey. The host greeted us with various coffee and tea and some biscuits. The Cottage was meticulously and flawlessly decorated with local photos and material.

United StatesOur initial finding the place was difficult in the dark and in the rain - a sign that indicated Skye View cottages would’ve helped us a good deal in finding it. Couldn’t tell if we were in the right place and drove around for a good 20 minutes- wound up heading to our dinner and then came back trying to find it again - once we realized the parking was actually IN the referenced hotel parking lot and not ACROSS it made more sense - also the allocated space was being occupied by someone else until they realized we were trying to park there.
We loved the facility- our host was very communicative & helpful - beds and whole cottage was clean and they left out some snacks for us which was lovely - loved the large bath sheet towels & the overall comfort - heated towel racks were wonderful especially after a chilly day! Would love to come again when more of Portree is open as we’d arrived Christmas Eve thru Boxing Day ..

Everything. Location is very close to town centre. The cottage is so lovely. Cosy, warm, newly decorated, sparkling clean, very considerate for the guests - everything you think you need, it’s right at your fingertips. The host even prepared a UK converter power plug. Very welcoming- a range of tea, coffee, jam, a nice ton of shortbread, etc. Has Netflix too. Nice little garden and covered patio area for hanging washing.

United StatesThe bathroom was downstairs and the bedrooms upstairs. For us older folks, it’s best to have the bathroom on the same level as the bedrooms.
The location was very good, walking distance to the center of town was easy. The owners were very responsive and made our stay more comfortable.
