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.).

Warm welcome from Gus and Sherry. Lovely property, beautifully presented. Decor was unusual and reflected owners’ interests and personality. Comfortable room with little extras like home made wine chilling with milk in small fridge as well as sweet home baked treats. Thoughtful items like pillow mist and masks made for relaxation. View from the bedroom of a wonderful rear garden which was a visual feast. Exceptional menu for breakfast, continental followed by cooked dishes offered traditional and unusual choices guests. Gus & Sherry are special hosts and make guests feel special. Highlander House is the model for any small hotel or guest house. Comfort, a little luxury, calm - what a combination for our short break. Gus prepared a map and pointed out key

United KingdomI had an absolutely delightful stay at Highlander House this past weekend and cannot recommend it enough! From the moment I arrived, the hosts Gus & Sherry made me feel incredibly welcome with their warmth and hospitality. The room was beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean, and extremely comfortable, ensuring a perfect night's sleep. Breakfast each morning was also a highlight. The attention to detail in every aspect of the service was impressive, and the cozy, charming atmosphere made my stay truly memorable. This bed and breakfast along with its hosts Gus & Sherry go above and beyond to ensure their guests have an exceptional experience. A well-deserved 10 out of 10!

From the start we were welcomed by Gus. Shown to our room, at our leisure we joined him for a coffee to discuss best places to eat for dinner. Our room was immaculate, cosy and extremely comfortable. Bed was very comfortable. We faced beautiful gardens to the rear. We had tea and coffee facilities and lovely wee extras, Chocolates and bottles of water. Small fridge in room also. Bathroom was lovely with a spacious shower, shower gel, shampoo and conditioner for use also. You can Bluetooth your music through mirror in bathroom. Breakfast was delicious and Gus couldn’t be more obliging. Homemade Granola from Sherry was amazing and I don’t usually eat granola. I left with recipe. On second day we returned to our room and a small package was left with home baked pecan slices. We were contacted before arrival to ask if we had any dietary requirements.

United KingdomNo private parking at property but availability to park on road or pavement opposite - covered by property cctv camera. Some additional drawer space would be good is staying longer.
Located close enough to walk to shops and ferry. Room was beautifully furnished, bed was extremely comfortable and back garden view was lovely. Two seats and table in room allowing space to sit. Coffee maker, kettle and small fridge with milk and wine located in room. Biscuits and cakes provided each day which were a delight. Gus was extremely welcoming and happy to share his local knowledge and to make recommendations for evening meals and places to visit. He was interested in his guests and was happy to accommodate any requests if possible. Gus and Sherrie even offered us a lift back to the B&B when they met us out walking. Extremely happy with our stay at The Highlander and hoping to return again.

Just had a 2 night stay at this exceptional B&B expertly looked after by Gus and Sherry, who were warm and friendly, and welcoming. Nothing was too much trouble. The room was spotless, well decorated and incredibly comfortable with everything you need provided. Including delicious home made gluten free biscuits and wine. The bed was so comfy, slept like a baby, and the bathroom was modern with a super dual shower. Breakfast was superb and set you up for the day. The sea view was spectacular and thoroughly enjoyed watching the boats and ferries. Would return here in a heartbeat and highly recommend to others. Thank you for a wonderful Stay.
