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 StatesWe loved our stay at Appin Bay View. Our host, Mike, is a cheerful storyteller and talented breakfast chef whose scrambled egg & Scottish salmon tower is nothing short of delish. By the way, breakfast is enjoyed with an absolutely beautiful view that shifts throughout the day from sunrise foggy mist to sunset and a twinkling evening coastline. The only constant is the ancient Castle Stalker, which sits prominently on a small island. ***Spoiler Alert--this is the castle featured in Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Our room enjoyed the same incredible view from the 3rd floor. I believe this is the largest of the guest rooms and is spacious, very comfortable, and well-appointed. The bathroom is updated and very clean. We stayed in late July, and the evenings were very cool, but we were very cozy. Appin Bay View is a short distance from Glencoe, Ben Nevis, and Fort William.

United StatesThe decor is somewhat dated which bothered my wife more than myself. I loved the large size of our room. Our room, the "garden view" suite, would have been more appropriately named the "driveway view" suite.
Breakfast was everything you could desire. The breakfast room has an outstanding view over the nearby bay and castle. Mike, the host, is a very interesting, helpful, and entertaining guy. He has a lot of experience s to share and is quite knowledgeable. A very old pub nearby that serves good food. The weather was warm during our visit. We slept with our window wide open. The nearby road did not bother us with any significant noise.

Best view we have ever seen from our balcony. Property was clean, bright and perfect for a peaceful getaway. Mike and the staff couldn’t have been more attentive. Bed and bedding luxurious and comfortable. I had taken a hair dryer and straighteners. And on the first day an extension lead was put in the room, so I didn’t have to keep changing the plugs over. This attention to detail was above and beyond. Fresh flowers, and clean fluffy towels every day was more than expected but very welcome. Well done Mike. You have a gem of a place.
