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 KingdomThere was absolutely nothing that I didn't like.
Lovely welcome, very comfortable room, everything spotlessly clean, beautiful views, lovely food, good gluten-free choices, tastefully decorated premises, complimentary sherry in room, friendly staff, lovely fire in dining room. Not necessarily in that order! Everything perfect. A must visit destination.

United KingdomOur room had no blind on the bathroom window. Although, the manager I believe, said it was not possible to see in I don’t think she would of been impressed if she was actually staying in that room. Didn’t like her attitude. The shower was very poor also. The room was really comfortable but the bathroom was not up to standard.
Clean, nice staff. Lovely, warm and comfortable. Very welcoming.

United KingdomThe Shower and kettle, far to complicated.
The Bar area, comfortable. Our bedroom no 10. Loved the decor, furniture, and facilities. All needs covered. Shower room good and lighting good. Did have problems with the shower, We were made very welcome. Particulary the Australian couple who were attentive friendly and competent. Did not like the dining area decor, I love blue, but it was far too dark and made it look gloomy, also the lighting bit gloomy. Great cutlery and crockery. We enjoyed our evening meal, but my breakfast bacon and potato tattie were rock hard, good sausages and egg.

The Tongue Hotel has the feel of a historic property that has been kept up and given just the right amount of modernization. We only spent one night here as we were traveling through, but I could see staying here for several day.

United KingdomNothing to fault.
Great location - really glad we had not gone on to Durness where accommodation is limited. Comfortable highland hotel overlooking Kyle of Tongue. Very good staff and plenty on hand. Spend enough time to get out to Varrich Castle and take in the views from the surrounding hills. Excellent food in restaurant - have a good chef right now. We did have a problem with our room overnight - out of hotel's control - but manager Marcel sorted it out promptly and reflected the problem on our final bill. A little gem of a hotel.

United KingdomThe location was pretty remote as noted above. Also the sound proofing was poor - we could hear the people in the room above us banging around and could also hear them snoring which was a shame!
Location was great for a short stop over - not much to do in the town but worked well for our 1 nights stay on the NC500. We loved the castle walk and the room was nice and spacious. The free standing bath in the room with loch views was amazing!
