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.).

AustraliaAbsolutely nothing!
From the moment of booking our accommodation at Scorr House, the hosts made contact with us and kindly provided a variety of restaurants and activities in Portree, which gave us an opportunity to book in advance any we were interested in.(Isle of Skye is very popular!) On arrival, we were greeted with a lovely 'welcome pack' (including a wee bottle of whisky which the Isle of Skye is renowned for) The apartment was spotless and beautifully presented, having everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay. A big tick - for the comfy bed✔️ Another big tick for a well set out bathroom✔️ And the biggest tick would have to be for the perfect setting overlooking the water and views of the magnificent mountains✔️✔️ Very relaxing and would highly recommend to anyone looking for somewhere near Portree on the Isle of Skye.

Beautiful and modern apartment with a dreamy water view! Loved the view every morning. Bed was very comfy and the bathroom was fabulous with a waterfall shower. Location is on a quiet inlet but only 3 miles from the main town of Portree. Isle of Skye is very remote, so having the main town of Portree close by was great to go shopping and get something to eat. I highly recommend getting some groceries in the off season months, if you are staying for 3 or more days. Not as many places open to eat, and gets pitch black early…and after a long day of hiking or sightseeing, you will be too tired to go out. It was nice to be able to make some simple meals.

AustraliaThe roads into the apartment are a bit tricky, as are so many of the roads in Skye, but these are better than some roads to major tourist attractions. Also we were sent excellent detailed instructions which made things easier.
The apartment is lovely and has everything you need but the best part is the fabulous view across the water to Kilt rock in the distance. Magic.

SingaporeThey did warn us of the pot holes on the road leading to the house but nothing to worry if you drive slowly. The beautiful view and house at the end of the road makes up for it. They had a extra long shower tray with a fantastic overhead shower head spray which was wonderful but maybe it also needs a non slip mat.
The home and kitchen were well equipped. We even managed to do our washing as they had a washer cum dryer which was very useful. The view of the sea was wonderful and it was conveniently close to Portree.

AustraliaNothing - everything was perfect.
Isle of Skye was a highlight for us. Beautiful and quiet location - we loved waking up to see a distant view of the Old Man of Storr out front. The property had everything we needed and was very comfortable, with an amazing shower! Caitlin and Adam were wonderful and thoughtful hosts and despite our late check-in, they were quick to send us some recommendations for restaurants to check out for our stay.

AustraliaAbsolutely no complaints.
It felt like a little home away from home (we’re from Aus). Having a bit of room to spread out, put together our own meals and use the washing machine was so great. Plenty of hanging space with rails and fold out drying racks, and a couple of washing tablets included for us. The finishes in all the rooms especially bathroom and kitchen were just perfect - none of the dodgy renovation feel that we’ve had in other places! We were very spoilt with the classy bathroom. Very modern and well functioning appliances - microwave, oven, fridge (with freezer compartment). Fantastic heating. Not to mention spectacular views of the bay straight out the glass doors. Felt very private even though the owners live connected to the apartment. Lovely friendly hosts upon our arrival and kept in touch with me during the day before checkin when I provided updates about our estimated arrival time. The location was great, we had a rental car. A few minutes to Portree for shops, restaurants, groceries. Close enough to all of the sights/hikes, and not too far to head off the island when we left.

United KingdomThe house was immaculately clean, the view was stunning, the shower was amazing and everything you could think of needing was there. Me and my partner were there for 3 nights and we did not want to leave. It was absolute perfection. We have already recommended this place to a number of friends and family and we will be back again. Sitting out on the decking watching the water was so calming. Really great location - we visited the fairy pools, Talisker distillery, Portree and also just went on our own adventures around the island. We absolutely loved it. If you are thinking of booking this place just do it, you will have no regrets!

United StatesNo issues.
Absolutely wonderful. The one-bedroom apartment was spotless and very comfortable with a nice living room, well appointed kitchen, and a laundry room with a washer/dryer. The home is right of the shore of Loch Portree and has beautiful views of the water. Beautiful and peaceful location. The couple that own Scorr House were amazing. We had a flat tire upon our arrival and Adam assisted us in contacting the rental car company, fielding phone calls regarding the tow truck, and even drove us to dinner in town that evening while our car was unusable. Clearly went above and beyond to assist us. We love to take day hikes and he also provided some excellent recommendations for walks on the Isle of Skye. Could not recommend Scorr House more highly.

United StatesParts of the island do not have wi-fi service, which can be disconcerting when relying on gps, nav/sat to get around. Having a map and/or satellite phone is helpful. There are lots of potholes on some, but not all, roads. Drivers are advised to be mindful of these.
The apartment was incredibly well considered and appointed. All of the little things were included: welcoming treats, high quality fixtures, a large bathroom sink and walk-in shower, washer/drying and hang-drying racks, and a spectacular lake and mountain view from the front of the unit. A binder included suggested sites to visit, restaurants, and other useful information. We got a bit lost finding the apartment. We called Caitlan and she immediately drove to our location and guided us to the nearby apartment. Every question was promptly and thoroughly answered.
