Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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 StatesThe room was small and the "mountain view" actually consisted of a view of a building where staff lived and hung out.
A charming building in a spectacularly beautiful location. The attached restaurant served the most excellent fresh seafood we have had in Scotland.

MalaysiaIt is lovely as it is just by the loch. Our room was fscing the loch and such an amazing view. You can just sit by the window and do nothing. The restaurant at the hotel is great too.

United Kingdomthe waiter in the evening who seemed to make a lot of noise jumping and running about during service. Breakfast service lacked a bit of customer attention, no orange juice, no mil out. The server was very nice indeed it just seemed a bit disjointed. No Loch Torridon Langoustines as sold out by 730pm service! as it's in your door step, would have expected availability here.

United KingdomOnly slight issue was that I arrived quite late and there was no-one around to help with checking in but easily solved by popping next door to the restaurant.
Lovely location. Plenty of parking on the street close to the hotel. Room was comfortable, nicely decorated and had everything I needed. Ate in the restaurant and food was delicious. Staff were all very welcoming.

United KingdomRoom would benefit from a new en suite and decorating
Downstairs the hotel has lots of room and looks grand but the bedroom room was a bit tired with cracked sink and shower tray, older decoration . We ate in the attached restaurant and the food was good . Not the best value for money, but Scotland is expensive for a touring trip and this is a scenic location away from the main tourist spots so we were lucky to get there . Outlook from the front of the hotel is superb.

United KingdomMenu was a bit limited. No television in our room. The bar/restaurant is outside the hotel so it involved a dash out side in the pouring rain!
Cracking location and a friendly 'pub' feel to the bar and restaurant. Staff were pleasant enough.

United KingdomNothing to dislike.
The location is beautiful, just loved Sheildaig! This was my favourite location over the seven locations I stayed whilst doing the NC500, Scourie being a close second! The room was a little tired, but very clean and nicely kitted out, good sized single room and a bath in the ensuite, which I loved! Very dog friendly, the only place dogs not allowed was the restaurant, though they do have a bar were you can take dogs and eat. This was one place that I was so sad that I couldn't get out to eat in the evening, being a solo traveller with two dogs made getting out in the evenings really difficult as one (after a prior bad experience with another dog, is not too good around other dogs). Exceptional reviews from other guests who had eaten there in the evening. Breakfast was exceptional, great choice , and I had the most perfectly poached eggs with my smoked salmon for breakfast . The waitress was just a delight, friendly, pleasant and super helpfull. Would highly recommend both accommodation and location. Note, there was no TV in the room I stayed, this didn't bother me in the least. Just loved the tranquility and beauty of the place.

United KingdomIt smelt a bit downstairs (old fat) and the public staircase was grubby. We had an issue with them not answering our queries when we wanted to cancel months ago, as we had a wedding later in our holiday- they did not answer email, or phone or Booking.com queries. In the end we decided to go because it was very expensive.

United KingdomI booked through booking.com, when I tried to leave a message it wasn’t answered, so tried email again not answered, so tried to phone, and that took several times of trying, but this improved closer to the date of stay, so maybe the hotel was in the process of changing hands.
Location was fantastic, views stunning, food was excellent as well, breakfast was top notch, with good choice & variety.
