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...).

United States of Americathe lack of usable wifi on the 2nd floor was the major negative factor that damaged the entire stay. Everything else was great but the lack of wifi is so critical that my overall rating was negative.
Great location - enjoyable food.

United KingdomWifi doesn’t reach the 2nd floor. When you ask reception they say they will reset the router & if that fails they will need to call an engineer, obviously by the time that happens you have checked out so just a ruse with them knowing full well the router in reception only works at lower levels. No lift. Don’t take a cat as you won’t be able to swing it in the en-suites. Breakfast staff surly, when asking a question about breakfast being suitable for vegans “menu is self explanatory” Quality of breakfast poorer the later you go down and the longer it has sat warming, potato scone like a rock,black pudding & haggis inedible waitress asked everything ok, then when told about it just went over her head and cleared the plates! Went down earlier next day and against better judgement gave it a go and it was better. Having said all of the above the place just has that sort of character and charm that you turn a blind eye to it and have a good time. All in all enjoyed our stay with the good outweighing the bad. You get a feeling the management are probably fully aware of the failings but such a captive audience in the resort they know they can get away with it and still be well booked out.
Beautiful Victorian building. Good food in the evenings, very efficient dinner service. Waiting staff in the evening were excellent, like a well oiled machine, quality of food at dinner very good. Breakfast a different matter!! See below. Comfortable bed. Good location opposite Aviemore station. Bar staff very efficient never waited for a drink.

AustraliaNothing.
Centrally located in Aviemore, which is a lovely little town. The waitstaff at the restaurant were very professional while at the same time being good fun and up for a chat. The bed was super comfy and the room spotless. Be aware, though, that there are stairs that need to be considered if travelling with luggage.

SwitzerlandAll good - although my Mum couldn’t have made it up the stairs to the second floor!
Friendly staff, lovely traditional ambience, relaxed atmosphere, and delicious food (dinner and breakfast) made for a lovely stay for my Mum’s 80th birthday, and considering the creaky floors and live band in the bar, it was surprisingly quiet at night.
