How guest reviews work
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 use a weighted review system which means that 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewHeather is a very kind lady, a perfect host and nothing was too much trouble. She picked us up from the bus stop on arrival, and brought our luggage to us at the train station on the day we left. The apartment is stunning, a real home from home, we had everything we needed for a comfortable and delightful stay. We didn't want to leave and will definitely book a return visit. We cannot recommend this accommodation enough!
Nothing we didn't like, it was perfect

Verified reviewExcellent facilities and attentative guest house owner
The property is fine - getting in touch with them is difficult as Booking.com have the wrong number on their website and emails to you. Not good enough Booking .com. !! Guest owner has said she has asked for this to be changed multiple times.

Verified reviewAbsolutely everything, from the spotlessly clean and cosy room, to the coffee, biscuits, fruit, orange juice and cereals provided. The location is perfect, it's a very peaceful neighborhood. Heather is the most fabulous host you can ever wish for, she made me feel at home. She even helped me book a day tour to Skye, after the tour I had originally booked got cancelled. Looking forward to my next stay at Heatherbrae.
Thank you so much Maria it was such a pleasure to meet and host you and it would be wonderful to welcome you back to Scotland 😍

Verified reviewWould like to have been able to open a window.
Hi Tom, Such a shame you didn’t ask about the window….it opens very easily from the top the same as the one in the shower room. I didn’t think to say…. thought Velux windows were universal. Also location (5) is clearly mentioned in listing along with Ariel photos and is then again stated in booking confirmation email giving the guest an opportunity to cancel if location is not for them. Thank you for taking time to leave a review and I will be sure to mention the windows to future guests. Best, Heather 😀

Verified reviewHost is super nice👍 Lovely house. Once you get in, you know the effort that has been put into the house decorations. We stay in a spaceous room with a spaceous washroom! And thanks for offering some whiskey to try :) Simple breakfast is offered. No hot food offered but there's a microwave if you need. We're well informed about the breakfast arrangements once we make our booking (and a couple of times afterwards as a reminder) so we're totally fine with this. It takes about 10 mins walk to the town center. The host show us a short cut so it's not that far away to the main town area. This is definitely one of the best stay I have.
Nothing I don't like - it exceeds my expectations :)
Thank you so much for your wonderful review. It was such a pleasure to host you both ❤️

Verified reviewHeather has adapted her business post covid very successfully. The fridge, microwave, tables and crockery were just enough for us to do some food preparation ourselves, but don't expect a full kitchen! The bedroom and bathroom were sparklingly clean. Private parking was a bonus as street parking was very busy nearby.

Verified reviewHeather was a fabulous host and very welcoming and friendly. The room was very comfortable and cosy. I loved that she had provided two chairs and little folding tables, so we each had our own space. The breakfast supplies were fresh and plentiful. Parking was easy. Highly recommend.

Verified reviewHeather had thought of every detail to make a perfect stay. Although it was in theory room only Heather provided milk, yogurt, fresh fruit and a wide choice of cereals for breakfast. Although we didn't use them the toaster and microwave were a nice touch. The bedroom was beautifully decorated and the shower room was stunning. We would definitely stay again.A perfect base to visit Skye.
