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.).

BelgiumNothing everything was perfect.
I traveled during off-season but it was really easy to park (I was able to park infont the hotel) Personel at the desk was very helpful. The room was very comfortable, clean and calm. It is possible to eat in the restaurant and have a drink in the bar. The breafast was very varied and good. Not far away from the beach (5 min walk)

United KingdomDirty toilet. The skylight in the bathroom had no way to cover it. Highly unlikely anybody would be able to see in, but it did make me feel a bit self conscious. The town centre location meant parking was an issue.
Pleasant staff and very nice food at a good price.

United KingdomNot so much a dislike, more a maintenance thing. The window in the bathroom opened but nothing to keep it open. and It dropped very heavily. Wouldn't like to get your fingers in the way. The bedroom window jam open but you had to rock it to close it. The door squeaked when opening or closing it and most importantly lol,,, the tv remote didn't work .
The booking in was quick and easy. The receptionist was very welcoming and helpful. Loved the original features of the building. Really appreciate seeing how the other half used to live back in the day. My room was on the second floor. Very easy to find due to the signage. It was a single bed with shower over bath. The usual customary shower and hand gels, Also a hairdryer tucked away in a drawer.

United KingdomHad booked 3 triple rooms but they gave 2 double rooms for one of triple room on the 1st day of stay. Breakfast times should be increased to at least 10 am its only till 9 AM currently. They have dinner serving times only till 7 PM and also dont allow to have take away order in their dinning area. But good that they provided plates and cutlery.
Breakfast had many good options

United KingdomSadly the Breakfast buffet offering of fried eggs weren’t the best. Day one the fried eggs were presented in a large electric frying pan, which must have been left on high heat as the eggs were all way over cooked and stuck burnt fast to the pan! Day 2 the eggs were again in this electric pan, this time they were perfectly cooked, but stone cold as the pan must have been off. Think a new pan should be sought for the fried eggs. Apart from eggs the choice of hot cooked items such as bacon, sausages, mushrooms, beans etc was decent. Plenty choice for those who prefer a continental breakfast too. Personally, both myself and my husband found the coffee dire though as left in a large coffee jug to help yourselves from as there is no proper coffee machine, which these days is very unusual.
We upgraded our room direct with hotel for one of their superior garden wing rooms, this was well worth the additional £30 paid. Room was in a separate building in hotel garden, which is set back from the Main Street and very peaceful. Only draw back was you had to eat in hotel dining room for breakfast, which is in a separate building through garden which is fine if weather is good, but no so good in the pouring rain like we had. Luckily though it’s only a short walk away! Still worth it. Room was lovely. Hotel is on Princes Street which is a good location for nearby restaurant choices and pubs. Not too far from anywhere in Thurso. Staff are all extremely helpful and welcoming too.
