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 KingdomGood base for Portree activities but not particularly close to any major attraction site. Not much of a view, had the impression from the other reviews that would be able to overlook a loch/river. Skye in general is too expensive for what it is and so is this stay.
Host was very helpful, did our washing very promptly and occasionally checked if everything was fine. Lot of space for a small family. Parking was no problem too. Loved the wild rabbits always hanging around as did our son!

Location was great in the middle of Skye. The hosts were world travelers who had great stories to tell and were extremely nice. The room was great, roomy, clean and in good condition. We were two mins from the former golf club restaurant with great views and food. There were rabbits and sheep with babies everywhere. The breakfasts were the best. Completely local fresh food that we have never gotten in the states. Park at the door.

United StatesThe facilities were overstated. No restaurants close enough to walk to, so stop at the Coop Foods in Portree. No laundry or BBQ. Hamish said he would review and correct. Although we had a car, venturing out after dark or after a glass of wine with dinner is not something I would recommend. Roads are narrow, and fog rolled in. Taxi was expensive.
Hamish is a wonderful host. Our stay was a perfect place to venture out from. The property sits high on the hill with huge views to enjoy. Everything nice and comfortable. .

CanadaThe hosts were amazing, great recommendations for what to see and where to eat, as well as taking care of everything so that we could just focus on sightseeing and relaxing. As an example, other places have strict checkout rules (strip bed, do dishes, etc), whereas here they take care of all of that for you, and they really just want you to have a great time exploring this amazing corner of the world. The apartment was very clean and well maintained. The location is great - 10 minutes by car to Portree and central to most of the must see attractions on Isle of Skye.

United KingdomWell appointed with everything we needed for cooking. Hamish greeted us when we arrived and was really welcoming. I also moved the time we were going to arrive at the last minute and he accommodated us. The beds are firm and very comfortable. It’s a quiet location. Well heated and insulated, with the ability to open windows if too hot. Lovely hot showers.

United StatesI would have liked a few more pots and pans for cooking - especially a large pot for pasta and a large salad bowl. But the basics are definitely covered.
The lodging was very comfortable, including the beds, and the location was great. Hamish, our host, was very friendly and helpful in advising us where to visit, where to eat, etc.

United StatesOnly minor suggestion would be to perhaps change the couch to be a bit larger, but it's perfectly fine.
Hamish is so friendly and kind! He welcomed us upon arrival and there is easy parking in front of the cottage. The self catering accomodation is so nice - 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms- both with walk in showers. There is everything you could need in the flat and the views are spectacular. It is so easy to get around the top of the island from his location.

United StatesOverpriced, but maybe because there was a half marathon going on the isle of Skye at the same time. The mattress was too hard for my taste.

Hamish and his wife were the hosts extrordianire, just super in every way. The first evening Hamish came to our cottage and we had a marvelous conversation about our lives, sharing a drink as we talked. Each morning he asked and we got a pot of coffee to have with the breakfast food we had brought with us. We got our clothes cleaned, too. All in all it was fabulous. We highly recommend Skeebost Self Catering to anyone visiting Skye.
