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):
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.).

United StatesWished it had a sauna but we know it’s not a spa. Really no complaints at all.
Lovely setting and great location for our travels We loved our room and the entire facility. Great place! Helen at the front desk was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. She also gave us pointers for our upcoming hike of Ben Nevis (we did it!) and other suggestions. Super friendly and welcoming-

United StatesWe were 4 siblings traveling together. Two who were not staying at the hotel. Even though the 4 of us spent hundreds on food and drink, they were not happy for my 2 sisters coming to the room which was upsetting because no explanationwas given to this rule. They closed the bar at 10.30 which we thought was very early. The shower temperature kept fluctuating from cool to scorching hot, so that wasn't too pleasant.
The staff were very friendly and the food was exceptional. A great wine selection and the cocktails didn’t disappoint. The room was well laid out and equipped with everything we needed. Nice and clean, comfortable mattresses. The views.. Just wow!! Comfortable lounge next to a fire place to relax and catch up with eachother.

United KingdomWell designed hotel with a huge, very comfortable reception/seating area. Our standard room was clean, very spacious and comfortable with 2 armchairs overlooking Lochinver harbour. Good breakfasts in a lovely dining room, again overlooking the harbour. Staff all helpful and friendly. Excellent evening meals - filet steak fabulous! Lochinver is an excellent location for exploring this beautiful part of Scotland. Beautiful walks from the hotel, especially the River Inver loop, boat trips and stunning scenery all around.

United StatesSuch a charming hotel. Stepping inside feels like entering a luxury lodge in the remote Scottish Highlands from a century or two ago. From the wood fireplace to the heated clothes drying room, the tartan and the decor; it makes a great impression. The rooms maintain the historic feel while mixing in a recently renovated bathroom with a great shower and full size tub and all the other modern conveniences. The entire hotel has wonderful hilltop views down over the town and harbor. This was a wonderful backdrop both for our morning coffee at the in-room sitting area and the lovely dinners in the dining room. The staff are always genuine and friendly and go out their way to be helpful. This hotel is an experience worth going a bit out of your way.

NetherlandsUpon arrival the hotel seems rather poor. Small, inexpensive changes such as the color of the hotel (white instead of cream) and lots of flowers (pots with geraniums or something) would make a world of difference. The interior could also be made more cozy by small adjustments.
The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The location is great with a view of the harbour. In short, a great hotel that does not fully exploit its potential in a great environment commercially. The food was delicious.

Everything! From arriving to a warm welcome, discovering our room had a lovely view of the harbour to the fabulous food and presentation of dinner and breakfast, our stay was exceptional. The staff are so friendly and helpful and the hotel itself is tastefully decorated in a lovely setting. Our stay at Inver Lodge was one of the high points on our NC 500 trip.
