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.).

CanadaIt is basically an upscale hostel, which we didnot realize, at the time of booking. Although it was mentioned there were stairs and no elevator. We found we had indoor stairs and then outside stairs to negotiate. With only backpacks not problem, but with suitcases it was a pain. Lack of parking was a daily problem.
The room was clean, as was the ensuite bathroom. It was in the town center, easy walking to the shops, pubs, and restaurants in Portree.

CanadaAll good!
Very comfortable room for a small family (double bed, 2 singles). Bath fixtures and on demand water excellent. A Bonus was a small fridge! We were able to keep drinks, snacks, veggies in good shape. The hostess Heather kept in touch nicely. It was good to know she was ready to support us if needed. Thank you for everything.

United KingdomThe bathroom is private and is across the hallway. I didn't mind the trek, per se, but the door needs 2 hands to operate which is tricky when you want to wash-up a few things. Steam didn't ventilate very quickly so we left it open for a bit. There are quite a few stairs but the back entrance has fewer.
The beds and bedding were very comfortable and the room was big enough for my sister and me. The fridge was really handy, if a bit noisy. It was nice to sit on the window sill and watch the world go by. The location is brilliant, right in the middle of the small town and good bus links to the rest of the island - we didn't have a car. Heather and Vanessa were fab and responded immediately to any queries and issues. Check-in instructions were clear and we got 2 sets of keys. A lovely place.

CanadaThe back alley hike, then up a flight of metal stairs to a door 'outside in rain' with a coded lock AND Key, was a bit much and alley messy...... Could have gone thru inside, but 2 flights and 2 locks - then our door! Provided a very tiny portable fridge, which was better than nothing and worked well. No toaster.
Location was great, but never met the owners to discuss anything. Good tea.

United StatesOur main complaint was the shower. The water was either so hot that it burned, or lukewarm. The water pressure was also pretty bad in our bathroom. We would have loved a better shower after hiking all day, but it got the job done.
Amazing location right in the middle of portree. We loved leaving the car and heading to dinner at night and not worrying about driving anywhere else. Parking across the street was easy, although there also were plenty of lots in the town. The room was super clean, though a bit on the small side, but it was what we expected. The property felt safe. Communication was easy, we never saw a staff person at the location, but it was clean.

AustraliaUnfortunately booking I was unaware that the minimum stay was 3 nights. Which wasn't stated anywhere in the booking.com process. So upon attempting to change dates, this wasn't possible. The entrance & the hallways could do with a freshen up. Portree is struggling with tourism & availability. Getting a booking for dinner is difficult in high season & many of the staff we encountered were feeling the pressure.
The quality of the rooms themselves is great. Clean, great beds & linen. The rooms did exceed our expectations. The location was perfect right in the centre of Portree.

ItalyThe room was clean, but the bathroom had a basement-like smell. The photos on Booking are quite flattering, I must say. In the end, the room was fairly basic, but the price was fair based on what we found in the area.
The location is perfect for accessing the town, the harbor, the main square and the supermarket. Check-in and check-out were super easy, and, despite the central location, the room was quiet. We didn't expect to find the little portable refrigerator in the room. It came in very handy because we often left to go trekking in the morning before the supermarket had opened, so we could shop for provisions the night before. The owner was not there at all, but she provided a very handy binder filled with all of the information we might have needed.

United KingdomAll suited us but be prepared for evening noise as rooms really are on the High St with pub opposite. Private bathrooms are across corridor so not ensuite but this is clear in description and not an issue.
