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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

United KingdomFelicity & Chris met us to hand over keys and show us how to use facilities in the apartment - also very helpful giving us advice on where to go in the surrounding areas etc. The apartment had everything required for our self catering stay. It exceeded our expectations... beautiful place. Beautifully renovated rooms, we were blown away by the standard of the work done and still ongoing - attention to detail absolutely beautifully done. Outside area - stunning. Able to let our dog off his lead and run around, lovely to pop out for walks. Cannot recommend this place highly enough!

United KingdomEverything was superb. I can’t think of anything that could be improved.
We loved the style of the converted apartment. Whilst the character of the old building has been maintained the actual apartment was beautifully furnished with a well equipped kitchen and fabulous bathroom. Our hosts, Felicity and Chris, met us on arrival and made us feel very welcome. Great care and attention had been made to ensure that the apartment had all the creature comforts to hand which, in turn, led to a wonderful stay. We would definitely recommend these apartments and wouldn’t hesitate in staying there again.

GermanyWe write this review in English (al least we try) because we want to thank our hosts Felicity and Chris for the best holiday we ever had in The Old Convent in Fort Augustus. What is left to say after this statement? Only a few words: the apartment is beautifully renovated, perfectly equipped and absolutely clean and spotless. Felicity and Chris are very welcoming hosts and always ready for useful advices. Without their help we wouldn't have seen the Silver Sands of Morar, used the Glenelg Skye Ferry or eaten the delicious pizza at Beaufort House. We will never forget our stay in The Old Convent, many thanks Tanja und Stefan (Bielefeld, Germany)

United KingdomThis time my wife, myself and our golden retriever stayed at the lovely spacious apartment on the first floor for four nights. It had lovely views and a large space for all of us. Felicity and Chris were very welcoming, friendly and helpful. We loved all their attention to details in the apartment and also the garden which was amazing! Thank you and maybe there’s a third time to stay at this beautiful property if we visit the highlands again.
