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.).

This is a lovely self-catering cottage on a Loch. Although it seemed far from everything on Skye, it wasn't, as you have to drive everywhere in any case! The view from the cottage is magnificent and we were within walking distance of Kilt Rock, weather permitting! The house is extremely comfortable for 4 people and very well appointed. We would definitely stay there again on a future visit. Thank you to the prompt service by the handyman in doing some minor repairs.

United StatesExterior window washers came on the morning of our departure and we were not aware - most windows do not have curtains and I’m afraid they may have seen more than they bargained for as we were showering/getting dressed when they started.
Beautiful location and cozy for our honeymoon stay! Loved seeing sheep out the window from the tub. Complimentary wine when we arrived. Curious to hear if anybody else felt this place was haunted? Lots of high tech amenities and a tablet to show how to use most.

IndiaAdditional bed and/or duvets (as we were family of 5 with an 8yr old kid) would've been nice to have.

Lovely property, beautiful location. With the property being in a quiet location we had amazing view of the stars, absolutely stunning. Everything was clean and well presented. We had fantastic weather luckily but I wouldn't have minded hunkering down in the house as it was a lovely home away from home. Good location to visit various attractions. We dined in Portree each evening, I would definitely recommend booking restaurants in advance. Great communication from hosts as well, gave us all the information we needed without us having the ask.

United StatesThat we had to leave! The only quasi complaint is that we were given the incorrect network and password for the wifi. I suspect this was a mix up of units from the management company but the router had a sticker with the network and password on it. Simple mistake. Super easy fix.
The location was ideal to explore the Trotternish Peninsula. The view is amazing. The kitchen was well equipped. Firewood supplied and a Christmas tree were lovely touches for our Christmas stay. Everything was perfect!

United Kingdomonly little things that bothered us was no firelighters for the wood burner when we got there. there was a box but no lighters in them! Also a silly thing, no potato masher so if you're cooking, bring your own. Also it does have wifi but it's not very fast, perhaps that's just the broadband speed on the island i'm not sure.
Fantastic location in Staffin at the top part of the island next to a loch, beautiful and peaceful. Great facilities, log burner, comfy sofas, dishwasher and great bathrooms. The bath needs a mention as it's amazing, and the view from the window is perfect when you go for a bath. recommended!
