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 KingdomThe tiles around the shower need some descaling, but that's REALLY the only thing I could point out.
The cottage is simply beautiful, and we felt welcome from the moment we stepped through the door. The beds were comfy, the rooms were clean, the shower was powerful, and I absolutely loved the kitchen, which was full of very good quality utensils (not that common to find sharp knives, and an espresso coffee machine in full working order!). Shout out to those wonderful couches in the living room, perfect for power naps! There is some parking space at the cottage, which was convenient. We enjoyed the peaceful and quiet location, close to Loch Snizort. The silence we found allowed us to relax as best as we could have. The location is also perfect to drive around Skye and see the best places in a reasonable amount of time: Portree is 10min away, The Quiraing and The Storr around 30-40min, Dunvegan Castle 20min, Talisker Distillery 40min... so good! We spent 5 days at the cottage, but sometimes we felt like we could have stayed there forever.

United StatesNo complaints.
This is a great place to stay for those who want more privacy, space, and quiet than staying in Portree, while being a reasonable drive into town. More than enough room for a two, but could easily fit a family with a couple of children. The kitchen was well-stocked, and the electric fireplace in the salon was much appreciated after a chilly day out hiking. The host (Adam) was terrific and very helpful and responsive.

United KingdomOne tiny thing it would have been great to have a travel cot. Fortunately our 2 year old managed with an inflatable bed rail but we did worry a little about him getting himself into mischief in the night!
Location was great 10 mins drive to Portree for food shop etc also very close by many of Skye’s highlights. Beds were comfy properly was cozy and clean. Kitchen was really well equipped. Good communication from Adam re arrival and keys. WiFi great for evening binge watching.

GermanyThe door wasn't closing totally, so that air went through the entire time, also the lock did work easily so that we sometimes had a problem with closing it.
Adam, the owner, made sure to come over and show us some tips and tricks, if something doesn't work. Also there were quite a few notes around the house to get along. There is quite a lot of room/space. And all the equipment we needed.

United KingdomThe house has a few finishing touches that needs fixing, the bathroom door has dropped making it hard to close, there are some hook and nails left in the walls (one of them my mum caught her hand on), the door knobs are really close to the door edges which makes it a nuisance when shutting as you forget and catch your hand. Not major issues but something worth mentioning as it is a great little cottage
The property was in a peaceful location with very friendly neighbours, it was extremely clean (no dust at all), the kitchen was well equipped for our stay and the living room was cosy with the fire. Loved the mini memorabilia!

South AfricaI won't tell a lie when I say that there was nothing that I didn't like or that we missed.
It is a self-service apartment. We really felt at home in this wonderful little cottage. The apartment is exceptionally equipped with everything that you might need on your stay. The communication from the host was excellent. It is very nice and centrally located on the Isle of Skye from where each of the tourist attractions can easily be reached.
