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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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.).

BelgiumWe had a really lovely stay here on our journey south to Inverness during our honeymoon. James & Kirsty were great hosts and made us feel very welcome as soon as we arrived. A real bonus was the possibility to eat and drink something in the evening once we arrived after a long journey. We had a beautifully prepared charcuterie board with fabulous produce local to Caithness, as well as local gin. The room was very nicely furnished and super clean, and there is also a separate guest lounge with TV and games which makes for a very comfortable stay. All in all, we can't fault this place and would definitely recommend to friends/stay again in future!

United KingdomThe weather!! But nothing that James or Kirsty could do about that!
We loved everything about our visit. James was very welcoming and Kirsty produced amazing things from the kitchen at breakfast. Our room was clean, comfortable and modern with lots of attention to detail. The guest lounge was an unexpected bonus enabling us to watch the Euros final with the other guests and James. The homemade cocktails helped to numb the pain of losing yet again! We will definitely be recommending this little haven to any friends doing the NC500.

Arriving in the evening we were given a really friendly greeting. Our room was stylish and spotless, the balcony was a lovely touch. We hadn't eaten so had the charcouterie board. Brilliant. Local food served with real style. Great also to see local bottled beers available. Breakfast was very good. There was a very nice lounge which we would have definitely used had we been staying longer or had arrived earlier.

United KingdomThis B&B is amazing, it was easy to find and the location is perfect. The rooms are themed and extremely well thought out with modern styling and comfortable beds. Although they do not serve evening meals, they are able to recommend local places to eat. They will also provide charcuterie boards if requested and have bar facilities. The hosts Kirsty and James were very welcoming and friendly and provided an excellent breakfast - both continental and cooked. We would definitely stay here again.

United KingdomAbsolutely nothing!
The hosts were very welcoming, helpful and friendly. Fabulously decorated large bedrooms with a balcony to sit out on. Very comfortable beds. Everything we needed was in the rooms. You can sit out in the garden. We ordered the fabulous charcuterie boards- which are all sourced locally. Great selection of alcohol. A large lounge to watch tele, good selection of board games and a pool table. The breakfast was cooked to order and was delicious! Would highly recommend when doing the NC500

Everything you need when on the NC500 drive. The room was super cozy, bathroom stylish and very clean, every room has a little balcony with slide doors, so we enjoyed fresh air from garden all evening. Delicious breakfast and really recommend getting a charcuterie board too, amazing value for money and allows tasting so much local produce in one go. Best night rest we had on the road by far.

United KingdomGiven the amount of daylight- I feel the place would benefit from blackout lining on the curtains to block out the light a little.
The place was clean and fresh. Location was private. Couple very friendly and knowledgeable. The games room and drinks is a lovely touch after a long travelling day! Chickens are entertaining! Comfortable bed. Lovely organic products. Great breakfast!
