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.).

United KingdomCould do with a bit of weeding and a litter clean up around the property. Possibly debris from the recent high winds.
Fantastic location and views across the beach and over to Torridon. 10 mins from the Quirang carpark. The property was spacious and well kitted out. Great log burner as well. Comfortable beds.

NetherlandsIn room radiators made a lot of sound in the middle of night and required us to turn the knobs to fix them temporarily. Overall the heating information could have been improved. We had a bit of struggle to open the front door as well for the first time, may be instruction could be a bit more precise
Location was amazing. Views from the place is great and it is closer to all major attractions of Isle of Skye. We had a great time enjoying isle from Taste of Sea. House was also huge and clean and my family enjoyed staying at this place

United KingdomThis place was absolutely stunning! The location was perfect for us as we wanted to explore the local area, including the Quiraing. The views from the house were breathtaking, and we were lucky enough to witness the sunrise over the beach each morning. The house was immaculately clean upon arrival and quickly warmed up with the cozy log burner in the living room. It was modern, comfortable, and we cannot recommend it highly enough.

United KingdomHot water controls in the guest bathroom needs correction. You either get very hot water or cold water. It's difficult to adjust the control. It's very sensitive.
Location of the property is very good and views from the property are amazing. Very ideal place for a family to come and stay here and relax. Places like "Old man of Storr" is very close by.

United KingdomNothing to complain.
What did we like? Everything! The rooms, kitchen and bathrooms were very clean, beds comfortable, rooms well maintained and spacious with 2 ensuites. The view was fantastic from the living room and kitchen. Parking is more than enough for 3 cars. Ben, the property manager was very helpful, professional, friendly and went out of his way when we asked for colouring pencils for the children. I will book the Taste of the Sea property when visiting the Isle of Skye again. Can't praise it enough.
