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.).

AustraliaThe hotel is tired and in need of some cleaning up and renovation. The water temperature in the shower is impossible to regulate. The hotel has a musty smell that permeates the entire establishment. Lights in the hallway were turned off and made it difficult to find the door lock to use the key to the room, not to mention potentially dangerous as it was hard to see. We came down to breakfast 30 minutes prior to the finish time. The breakfast provisions had not been topped up and the choices were then limited. It would appear that the owner of the hotel is penny pinching at every opportunity and does not want to spend money to improve the hotel. This hotel has plenty of potential which will one day be realised with new owners. T
The bed was ok, and breakfast was sufficient.

CanadaDefinitely needs a reno, fresh paint, comfier beds, incense or something to take the strange smell away in the hallways (rooms were fine, no doubt bec en suite bathroom window was open and kept the room nice and chilly).
The outside looks pretty cool . The inside has an odd smell like too many fish meals. There isnt an elevator so prepare to carry luggage (not a big deal for us as we had light bags). Not a cozy place but has so much potential if there was someone who could put some work in to it. The little porch has potential There two beds in our room. one was very hard , one was okay. Bathroom was a throwback to another era. Toilet was fine. Window ...we had a hard time closing it at first but noticed all the rooms seemed to have the bathroom windows slightly open. We however did like the server at the restaurant . She was lovely and so helpful. The woman at the front desk when we were leaving, Nora, was an absolute gem. We had a good chat and laugh with her. Often it's the people who make it better. She and the server both were great. My daughter and I were only there for a night and there is a lot to see if you have a car (we did) and the drive is about 15 minutes or so from approachable points to Loch Ness. But there was a lovely old castle ruins to explore 12 minutes away and the little town is very cute. New area of townhomes was going up and definitely a cute area. I think if someone had the money to do a great reno on this hotel it could be absolutely amazing. One bonus was that it is very quiet and maybe it is just a slow time of year but didn't seem to be a lot of people around.

United KingdomThe hotel was rundown and our room was damp. The wallpaper was coming away from the walls and there was only an electric heater with no instruction on how to use. TV didn’t work. The towel rail in the bathroom was fixed with insulating tape. Outside was untidy and grass needed cut.
The location was great. The breakfast was good and the staff friendly. The communal area had new carpets

AustraliaWifi only available in one area. Not hard to get everywhere (we were told it was an old building, we just stayed in a 17th century castle that had excellent wifi, just need more access points) When we arrived we were told we could not have an evening meal as had a bus party coming in and the chef could not cope. As a paying guest I think we should have been able to get a meals. Too many signs telling you what you can’t do… there were three telling you how to use the shower curtain.

United KingdomDid not like the paper cups in the room. The Bar was ridiculously priced, only bottled Ale available or spirits at an eye watering £6 for a single, avoid if possible, use the local Fiddlers Inn instead. Room was cold.
Location was within easy reach of local village, shops/pub and restaurant, close to Loch Ness Centre and a short drive to Urquhart Castle and waterfalls. Room was comfortable but cold, with TV, WiFi and kettle. Breakfast had a good choice of cooked or cereal/toast/croissants.

United KingdomThe decor is old and often not particularly in keeping with the exterior of the (original) building - which is charming. There is a hotel sitting room on the ground floor but it is not especially comfortable to relax in. It would have improved if they had lit the fire - but I am afraid they hadn't.
The staff are friendly and welcoming. The hotel restaurant was closed the evening we were there and they organised a table for us with the village restaurant located 100m away (which was excellent). We were upgraded too - which is always a nice touch. The bed was comfortable. A really good breakfast.

United KingdomQuite a (damp?) odour in the stairs and hallways. Room was cold, an extra heater was used most nights. Felt guilty about using it though. We chose this for the ‘character’ though another hotel in the village had refurbished rooms. That might’ve been better.
Visiting a friend in Drum who couldn’t put us up. Very easy re location. Staff on reception excellent and friendly. Easy parking outside.

United KingdomFor second successive time I have stayed, they could not be relied upon to provide an evening meal. Last time we were asked to go elsewhere because they were dealing with a busload of tourists who they thought deserved priority and this time they gave the chef the night off at short notice. Pity because there is plenty else to recommend it.
Returning customer - third time I have stayed here. Comfortable, good location, good atmosphere, interesting tartan themed decor with historical pictures evoking the Jacobites. Food is good and there is a pleasant bar & restaurant.
