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 KingdomBeds were not very comfortable. We could not get a fire place working, although this was one of the reasons for booking this property. We had a very unpleasant landlady visit due to having a cigarette outside. If you are smoker or thinking of having any sort of fire/barbecue, this place would not allow you to do so.
Nice little cottage. Lovely, peaceful location although a bit limited to explore and go for a walks unless you drive further away. It was great to have a dishwasher and a washing machine particularly if you are staying longer. Loved the welcome pack of some key food and drinks items from the owners.

United KingdomIt is a remote location, so after a while the trip from Elgol to the main road and the rest of Skye did become a pain. All single track roads (with plenty of passing point) but lots of sheep and cows that would cross the road in front of you, so you had to keep your wits about you. The scenery was beautiful so helped to make up for it. The heating was slow to either warm up or cool down, so do plan ahead.
Quirky, something different and a complete surprise inside compared to outside. Really modern inside, well equipped with everything you needed. A lovely welcome parcel with wine, bread, eggs, butter and milk. EV charging point, which was a bonus. Second bedroom in the loft space made a great hideaway for my daughter.

United KingdomIt was very warm given the current weather even when the heating system was turned off. It would have been beneficial a few fans dotted around the cottage in particular the attic.
The location was great for travel around Skye. The cottage looked authentic and all amenities were available

United KingdomTV signal wasn't great at first (understandable) but got better after I cleared some vegetation in front of the satellite dish!
Remote location (which is what we were looking for) but part of a wider hamlet. Extremely well appointed cottage with little things (such as a 4 way extension) coming in handy! Good shower and sizable bathroom and superb king size memory foam bed. The Bluetooth speaker came in handy as did the picnic bench outside. WiFi was a lifesaver for planning the next day !

United KingdomIt was cold, but otherwise it was a lovely stay.
Practically everything was a 10, the facilities were great, the response from staff was great, the location was beautiful. We had issues with the heating but the property provided portable units which kept us above cold. When contacting the property owners, they arranged for a plumber (same day) but due to covid he wasn't able to come out. But... That's not their fault and we were just unlucky.
