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.).

Exquisite location, big rooms and bathroom. Amazing breakfast (croissants are to die for!), and lots to do at the house (board games, etc.). To top it off, Thomas who was managing the place was ever helpful and great! Highly, highly recommended place!

The beds were amazing. The rooms were lovely with a nice common living area. The breakfast was spectacular with the best breakfasts we had on our entire 14 day trip. We opted for their packed lunch one day and it was also wonderful. It was a beautiful quiet place to return to each day after sightseeing on Islay. A magnificent respite from town chaos. We slept deeply every night. The staff was extremely accommodating and pleasant. Thomas resolved a room issue for us, which eliminated our need to change rooms. They did everything possible to make our stay exceptional and it certainly was!

United StatesThis property exceeded my expectations. If you want to be in walking distance of the pubs and towns, you will have to stay in town. There is one restaurant you can walk to for dinner.
This is a modern farmhouse setting out in the middle of some fields. Very peaceful and relaxing. Great for a quiet walk in the country after a long day. The rooms are very modern and clean with towel warmers too. Breakfast was outstanding, you won't go away hungry.

GermanyLiked everything.
The location is very quiet, in the middle of a beautiful landscape. Great for a nice morning walk. Still, within a short drive you can find restaurants, distilleries etc. Thomas is a very friendly and welcoming host. Rooms are great, spacious, newly renovated. Breakfast ist awesome! Try the scrambled eggs any version. Very nice garden to sit with a beer or for kids to play. Will come again any time we’ll have the chance. My whole family was very happy here.

United StatesPrice is high, but worth every single pound. Trust me!
This was the absolute best placed we stayed on our entire trip. And now one of my favorites ever. Thomas was amazing at communicating, making you feel welcomes, cooked an amazing breakfast and responded to our every request. Then there are the beautiful and impeccably kept accommodations. Stay here once and you'll want to return to Islay just to stay here again. And be sure to visit the Islay Woolen Mill nearby, a true classic. If I could give this more than a 10 rating, I would.

United KingdomI like everything about the hotel. But it might not be very convenient if you have small children since there are no restaurants nearby.
Guest house manager was very friendly and he accommodated anything for us. The location was exceptional. So peaceful. The best sleep I ever had. I would definitely come back again with my family next time!

United StatesThe location is quaint and isolated. However, with that being said, the interior of the house has been renovated and is beautiful. My room was incredibly well-kept and arguably better than many 4/5 star hotels. Tom is an amazing host. Not only knowledgeable but overall just a nice person. He helped with setting up transportation and gave me suggestions regarding my itinerary. The breakfast is also better than many 4/5 star hotels. The dining area was clean and there were some lovely items on the menu. The fruit was fresh—it looked like it had been hand picked and brought in just for me! I cannot begin to say enough nice things about Skerrols Place and Tom. Thank you for taking such great care of me!
