Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

The full English breakfast was excellent. The king size room was spacious and well appointed. The hotel has a great bar and large dining area. Plenty free parking outside the hotel. Ideal location in the centre of Aviemore.

United KingdomFound hangers in wardrobe difficult but a light in the wardrobe would help. Would have preferred a slightly larger TV. We opted to only have room serviced midweek which was absolutely fine. The only problem we had was washing tea cups in bathroom in the interim. It would have been useful to have somewhere to put dirty cups and pick up clean ones. We ate in the restaurant a couple of times, but as it is very popular we had to wait (this is made clear though). It would be nice to have a couple of ‘specials’ each evening in addition to the regular menu, especially as we stayed for a week. We dined at other local restaurants though that were very good and no distance at all.
Breakfast was perfect. All breakfast staff were exceptional, making us feel very welcome and remembering details from previous days. Nothing was too much trouble, even providing us with a couple of bacon rolls on our day of departure as we didn’t have time for breakfast. All staff were welcoming and helpful. Comfy, clean bed. Plenty of hot water for shower. Brilliant location.

United KingdomHotel is dog friendly, and I respect that in the restaurant side, people may not like the thought of a dog where food was being served. We were told we could sit in lobby with dog and have a drink however when we came back from another hotel after getting a meal there with our dog, there was no seats available nor were there any dogs, just people sitting I presume waiting for tables for food, no drinks were on any tables. Also no dogs allowed in bar area, this just doesn’t make business sense. As we spent our money elsewhere. Whilst the hotel was nice and staff lovely I wouldn’t book again for this reason.
Great location

United States of AmericaThis was a great place to stay in the heart of Aviemore which allowed easy access to all the shops and attractions by walking. Its beautifully decorated in Scottish style with a nice Pub and Restaurant on site. The room we had was small but functioned perfectly for our needs. We ate at the restaurant twice including the free breakfast which was very good with lots of choices and great service! Would not hesitate to stay here again as it felt like traditional Scotland!

United KingdomThe room faces out onto the back of the building and being directly above the restaurant, you will be exposed to a lot of noise later at night and not from the bar. Our room only had two working sockets with others just not working at all. The bathroom was a decent size but in desperate need of fixing as there were sizeable dents in the bath with plastic chipped away. We also found the bathroom bin had not been emptied and the shower curtain looked like it needed replacing. Bar staff were friendly but I don't know if it had just been a bad day when we checked in as the reception staff looked as if they'd rather be anywhere else though on checking out the staff we're far friendlier Would recommend the room for it's size and location as ideal for overnight but may be worth shelling out more if you intend to stay longer.
The location is ideal right next to the high street. The hotel is perfect to access shops and the train station. There's also a bus stop right across the road with buses to the cairngorm mountains and Inverness. There's also some lovely places to have something to eat nearby such as ashers bakery. Room was the bar snug. It was easy to access next to the stairs and a decent size. Bed is comfortable and good quality furniture in the room also.

United KingdomCan’t say anything as all good. The only thing I’d like to mention is maybe they supply bath mats for inside shower as my husband nearly had a bad fall but managed to stop himself by hitting the side of bath with his foot. We were in room 125.
It was central and all the staff were lovely, nothing was a problem. Breakfasts were amazing and good choices.
