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 room was comfortable. Food was great and the staff were welcoming and very helpful.
The room could do with some updating and a bit of maintenance.

Verified reviewExcellent local real ale on draught in the bar. Comfortable bed.
Extraordinary en suite facility! The door from the bedroom was hinged at the top, not at the side! So one had to push it in until the door bottom hit the bath, and then squeeze one’s body in and out of space now provided, keeping low so that there was room for one’s head! Dinner menu rather unexciting.
Thank You for your review, at least we now know how the sliding door into the bathroom got damaged. It is a pity you didn't let us know that you could not open it when you were here because we would have shown you how to open it.

Verified reviewStunning location, staff friendly, room clean, comfortable bed, food options basic but okay, property dated but in a good way.
Was aware check in was from 4pm but couldn't even enter the building or bar area to hang out until then never mind accessing the room, had ridden motorcycle for many hours at times in lashing rain, asked if could grab a seat inside but bluntly told 4pm is the go..ouch! No small fridge for items or basic bottled water on hand, cheap old kettle you struggle to fill under tap in bathroom sink.....

Verified reviewA nice setting on side of loch ewe. Property was pretty dated. Although staff were lovely. Non existent WiFi although not the end of the world.
Food not great soggy batter on fish and chips. And breakfast every item was burnt. We were told cool/chef off ill and they had an 18 year old cooking. As this was one of the dearest places we had stayed it was very disappointing.

Verified reviewIt was a quiet location. You could eat at the restaurant for dinner if you were a guest (we did enjoy our meal). Friendly staff, good breakfast. It is a little dated. This did not worry us, great for a one night stay.
We didn't find anything negative. Staff were very friendly

Verified reviewStaff were friendly, especially James who was lovely. Dinner was good, decent pub type food. Breakfast was good.
We had the family suite - 2 bedrooms, lounge and bathroom. It was really, really disappointing. The furniture was very dated, cheap, mismatched and tatty. The sofa was awful and dirty and the feet were actually broken so it sat wonky. Every surface was dirty and I had to wipe everything - bathroom shelf, tables, bedside tables. They were all grubby. The shower had numerous hairs in it and was also unclean. Our bedroom window had a sign on it telling us not to open the window! Clearly it was broken but rather than fix it, they tell you not to open it. So we were hot all night. Our view was of various portacabins/shipping containers and junk!! And there were people (staff i think) in these portacabins talking full volume until past midnight. Finally, when I paid the dinner bill at checkout I discovered they had added a 'compulsory' service charge of almost £6!
