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 reviewThe breakfast was decent for its value and the bathroom had been updated
We were told when we arrived that we were in a separate annex - an old house around the corner that was quite dingy. The bed was pretty uncomfortable. However it was clean

Verified reviewVery nice town, excellent bakery across the street and beautiful surroundings. The hotel building is also lovely and properly conserved.
The staff is lifeless or they are all trainees. The bathroom is uncomfortable, it does not justify the room price.

Verified reviewWell located not far from Inverness and on main roads. Room was comfortable enough but tired looking. A fair price I suppose given that rooms in Inverness are at a premium at this time of year. Breakfast was good.
Parking not so easy. Bathroom light didn’t work and couldn’t be replaced. In fairness the staff gave us a refund for breakfast because of the inconvenience.

Verified reviewThe outside of the hotel looks inviting and the entrance looks nice
The staff are impolite and one appeared to be under the influence but not alcohol. Farting around making sniffing noises and chatting at 100mph with the receptionist. The heating in the room did not work. Each time we flushed the toilet, it took a gull 15 minutes before it could be flushed again. We went to the restaurant for our evening meal at 7:45 and were told to hurry as the kitchen is closing (Friday evening) The 5 menu options were not suitable for a family and hugely overpriced. The room was draughty, cold and looked more like a DSS hostel than a hotel room. The whole place smelled like a Chinese takeaway which was confusing as there were no Chinese items on the menu. We paid in advance for breakfast but left before and were not given a refund or even the courtesy of a goodbye. Will never book here again. Really disappointing

Verified reviewLocation was good for what I needed.
Hotel extremely dated, staff disinterested, very poor value for money. Paid for breakfast and advised it began at 7.30. Turned up at 7.30 only to find what seemed to be a coach party of around 50 people already seated. I was travelling for work, and had no time to navigate these huge queues.
