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 KingdomUnfortunately as the Inn had no chef (for quite some time) dinner and a cooked breakfast was not available to guests with limited options for evening meal in the surrounding area. Better options may be available in the summer months.

United StatesThe staff at check-in in the bar did get us our key, but little else. The wi-fi was non-existent. The waterfront view room looked through a parked car 12 inches from the window. The restaurant is not functioning in April, but the bar is, and next to the 'arch' next was our street level room. Maybe avoid rooms 1 and 2 if that bothers you. The continental breakfast was adequate. Some louder citizens in and out of the building at night. The bar had very recently been painted-some painter's tape still up, and wall lamps lighted only a long wall of painting hangers.
This is a well positioned place with possible views of the Ullapool surroundings. Beautiful sunsets from the jetty at end of street. The fixtures, lighting, paint was new and the room was spotless. The parking is convenient in front of the building on the street. Breakfast staff was wonderful and cheerful and good croissants.The evening bartender allowed us to eat our take-out in the bar with drinks purchased there.

United KingdomThe breakfast wasn’t the greatest, could do with more options, at least some scrambled eggs or something warm.
The room was very clean and the location of the inn is perfect just opposite the sea side. Being Friday night there was some live music - the staff said it will stop before midnight, it did indeed so we could have a proper rest.

United KingdomWe have been staying at the Arch Inn once or twice a year for 12 plus years. This year the Arch Inn is only offering a continental breakfast rather than the usual cooked breakfast. We ate breakfast twice - both breakfasts were pretty basic. The bread that was used for the toast was obviously the cheapest available which was disappointing. An evening meal was not available due to the Inn not doing food. We ate a good meal locally at a nearby hotel, but it does raise the question whether it is actually worth staying at the Arch Inn when food is not available - it would be easier and potentially better value to stay elsewhere.
Breakfast was basic - Sunday service was slow and we ate surrounded by uncleared tables

United KingdomSadly, due to the inability to find chefs / cooks for the kitchen, there was no food available at the property, and breakfast was also hence very limited continental style. Can't imagine why people would not want to work in this stunning part of the company - I may retrain as a cook! My room also backed onto where the boiler chimney was, so when it was on (turned off over night) it was rather noisy with the window open.
The setting of the hotel is superb. The actual room was small but excellently presented - I think very recently renovated, so it looked brand new. Parking available outside the hotel (reserved for guests). The bar had a nice traditional pub atmosphere. Room was very warm for me, even in early March with the window open and radiator off.
