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.).

GermanyThe staff was super friendly and going out of their way to make end meet at any time. The house is a wee bit old fashioned but in a warm and cosy way. The restaurant at the house was not open so I had to dine at the nearby distillery twice. The food there is decent but the service is not a la carte. You have to book the menu for £55. Also, be aware that you are staying on a very small island. There is no other option for dining or breakfast. I do enjoy my stay very much. I hiked to the top of Dun Cana and back and attended the distillery tour. Raasay House and the island is definitely worth a visit!!

United KingdomSome of the paired wines were rather pricey.
We were fortunate to be upgraded to a room which overlooked (from a distance) the mountains of Skye and the ferry port. Beautiful view when the sun shone but the weather was variable and at times quite wet. Interesting island with limited road access but enjoyed our expedition north and drove the length of Callum's Road. Find out about it and experience the trip for yourself, but your car will require good ground clearance. Food very good both in the Hotel and the Distillery but not inexpensive.

United KingdomReally minor fault: in the room we stayed in there was no full length mirror; the only mirror to use to get ready was in the bathroom which wasn’t ideal when there were two of us - especially if one was trying to get ready and the other using the bathroom.
The hotel is gorgeous; the views are stunning and the staff are wonderful! We had a king room and it was super comfortable and clean. The bathroom was gorgeous, very modern and the shower was lovely! Food was gorgeous and we ate every meal looking out over a stunning view across to Skye. Breakfast was a lovely buffet but we felt a little expensive for £17 per person. There is a great deal to explore on the island of Raasay and staying here let us do just that! We had a wonderful time and the staff were so welcoming and friendly, couldn’t do enough for you and were so welcoming of our two dogs (even when they were soaking wet and muddy!). The hotel had great amenities such as a games room and library to sit in as well. The food was delicious and they truly are dog friendly which made us feel right at ease.

United StatesTook off one star due to hot water and wifi issues. The shower in our room was only slightly above lukewarm, I could not get the temperature any hotter. After a cold day hiking, a hot shower would’ve been nice. Also, the WiFi is not very strong. I had trouble connecting, and it was spotty when trying to do some work.
Beautiful property. Room was comfortable. Lots of different activities around the hotel for entertainment. We enjoyed the game room and library. Dinner was fantastic. The pistachio chicken breast with haggis was my favorite meal throughout our whole stay in Scotland. Breakfast was also good with a nice variety. Wonderful staff. I would definitely recommend staying here.

From the moment we arrived at rassay house. The warm family welcome from fraya.fin .Alice. and the wonderful lady of the house Lyn. Made me and my dad feel right at home. Great rooms Great breakfast . And 2 minutes walk to the rassay distillery . With options of tours and dinner reservations at the distillery from rassay house we were well looked after and will definitely be visiting again to experience the activities that are available boat rides kayaking and more water activities.

United KingdomThe food was excellent too. If I had spent the day walking the Cuillin Ridge I would have chosen one of the more traditional and substantial options, but this is NOT really a criticism. My meal was delicious.
Fine old building in a lovely setting. Very friendly, efficient and helpful staff. I was traveling with two dogs; the hotel's claim to be dog - friendly was fully justified, but my bedroom was immaculately clean with no trace of any previous dog guests.
