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 KingdomBroken toilet seat. Hotel being refurbished so NOT up to scratch. Rubbish in car park.
Fortunately our room had a view over the Loch and Ullapool harbour. Their sister hotel The Ferry Boat, just across the road, provided good breakfasts and an evening meal. The staff worked hard to compensate for the mess at The Argyll.

IrelandT.V. didn't work as it was clearly not actually wired up to the Internet. Bathroom was not very clean particularly around the tiles where there was a very visible pink colour which means bacteria is present and although it doesn't generally present a major health risk it is easily cleaned properly with some bleach and a bit of a scrub
Great location beautiful views. Friendly and helpful staff, great atmosphere in bar and food was excellent

United KingdomIt’s currently in the middle of some renovations so perhaps not the best time to stay. There was no restaurant for dinner or breakfast because of staff illness which was unfortunate. Price around average for Ullapool but a bit pricey for the current standard of facilities.
The staff were friendly and welcoming. The room was clean, cosy and comfortable. It’s pet friendly which was important for me as I was able to bring my dog. It’s in a good location. There was a bar which was warm and welcoming.

United KingdomNo one seemed to be in charge. Decor was in need of repair and renewal. Reception not manned consistently. We attempted to make contact in the week before going and despite assurances and leaving voicemails we got no response at all. The car park was not accessible before breakfast unless we walked round the block to get to it.
Location - though access to the car park in the morning was not readily available. Most of the staff that we saw were helpful. The room was adequate and clean. The Food was reasonable.
