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.).

What a B&B gem! Heather greeted us with warmth and a big smile! Our room was fresh, bright, and cheerful with a very comfortable bed, refrigerator, sitting area and compact bathroom! Heather brought us a "wee taste of whiskey" while we unpacked. She was very helpful with dinner and site seeing recommendations and made reservations for us. The city center is an easy 10-15 minute walk, which was welcomed after our lovely dinners. Finally, the breakfasts are a real treat starting with a yogurt parfait or the most delicious porridge ever, followed by a full Scottish breakfast of your choice. What is not to love! You will not be disappointed booking here.

United StatesHeather is the sweetest! The room was comfortable. She provided a delicious and thoughtful breakfast each morning. And was kind enough to make dinner reservations for us both evenings at local spots. We arrived early and she kindly let us put our bags in our room before check in time so we could explore town. If I ever find myself back in Inverness, I would hands down stay with her again! Thank you for everything Heather! P.S. we got to meet her sweet dog, Mocha and kitty, Jingle! Just the cherry on top!

New ZealandI had a wonderful stay with Heather(and Mocha). After having to change my plans because of a storm, I contacted Heather to see if I could come a day early and stay an extra night, she was quick to reply and I was lucky she had room for me. Her porridge was amazing and it felt like a home away from home. Heather, thank you so much for the wonderful stay.

United StatesNothing to dislike -- a perfect stay!
Beautiful house in a beautiful neighborhood. Easy, short walk to downtown. Great breakfast was included. Host family could not be nicer. They even picked me up when I got a bit turned around walking there from the train station! Inverness is a lovely city, very close to the Culloden Battlefield, the terrible aftermath of which is why so many Scots left Scotland for America, N. Ireland, etc. Well worth visiting!

United StatesCrown House is the perfect location! It's in a lovely area and is a short walk to downtown, the train station and the bus station. Many tours leave from the bus station so they are easy to get to as well. Heather, the owner, is friendly, knowledgeable and very accommodating. She had many recommendations and was always available to help with any bookings. I highly recommend Crown House.

United KingdomThis is a spectacular property. I stay in more than 100 hotels a year, many 4 and 5* and this rates at the very top for me. The room was very spacious, spotless clean, decorated with a lot of love and personal touches, and the bed was very comfortable. The breakfast was incredibly tasty (home cooked!). The biggest asset are the people running this hotel, who treat their guests like their own family. I would come back to Inverness just to experience this spectacular hospitality.
