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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 KingdomPeter and Jan’s property is absolutely ideal as a base if you are wanting to explore some of the Western Highlands, or climb Ben Nevis. The property itself has all the facilities you could want and is finished to a high standard. You can tell this property is a labour of love for Jan and Peter which makes it all the more special. Jan and Peter greeted us when we arrived at the property and were lovely hosts whom made us feel so comfortable but also gave us privacy during our stay. I would thoroughly recommended staying here. Just a note, you should consider hiring a car if you stay at this location! We did and it was our key to the rest of the highlands!

United KingdomWe had an exceptional stay at Alt-an Retreat Lodge. When we arrived Jan was there to greet us and was so lovely and welcoming. The moment you enter the property you can see this is a passion for Jan, it is tastefully decorated and nothing is overlooked. The welcome basket was a lovely touch, fresh bread, milk, cereal, eggs, jam and even an Easter egg. The bed was really comfortable and the shower was bliss. We genuinely couldn't find fault here and would love to return.

United Kingdomall was good
Jan and her husband were very welcoming and left us extras in the fridge as we arrived late, The property is situated next to the lake and it might be quite tricky to park your car. We had a good time as there is everything what you need for a short stay. Clean and cosy ! And very specious... It is situated about 20 minutes walk to the main street with shops and restaurants.

AustraliaCan’t think of anything, I was very happy and comfortable.
I loved the amazing view to the beautiful Loch, and waking up to it was incredible. Also loved the large skylight above the bed, it was a nice touch and gave good light into the space. Beautiful bathroom with towel warmer, and lovely tea and coffee. Most importantly Jan was so welcoming, friendly and helpful, even offering to give us a ride into town! Highly recommend !

United KingdomThere was absolutely nothing that we didn’t like and yes it’s on a road, but this did not bother us and quite frankly, there is no road noise at night.
OMG where do i start! What a beautiful beautiful accommodation, there was nothing that we needed, Jan & Peter had thought of everything, from the BIG HUGGING mugs, to the amazing coffee machine and Suki Tea. Everything was of beautiful quality and the VIEW!!! Whow it was just so idilic, sat outside watching the sun ☀️ disappear behind the mountains. The service was second to none, we stayed two night and didn’t expect to have fresh towels, on our return from our day out, this is going above and beyond. The retreat was stocked with a folder of information on things to see and do, which is great if you don’t know the area, and a beautiful heart shaped, complementary basket, filled with eggs, bread, biscuits, crips and more, for our welcome. Such a fantastic stay, we absolutely loved it 🥰 and the hosts, definitely one to come back to. Tracey & Johan.
