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.).

United KingdomThis is just a point of note and not a major criticism - The wood panelling throughout the hotel was very dark and so made the place look gloomy. In its previous life as the Post House hotel, the hotel decor was much brighter. Upstairs bar staff member needs a bit of a refresher on customer service.
Breakfast was very good with plenty of choices and the staff were also very good, pleasant and attentive. The room was spacious and the bed was extremely comfortable. Dinner was nice and good amount. Again staff were very good.

United KingdomThe hotel ‘lost’ our swimsuits which we left in the bathroom when vacating the room. There was great difficulty communicating with the hotel itself having to go through a central switchboard first. I phoned several times about the lost articles and each time spoke to someone different. We gave up in the end.
A pleasant setting and friendly staff. The room was good value for money though needs some updating.

United KingdomIt’s very tired, has had refurbishment in a number of years with hotel doors still having ‘this is a no smoking room’ signs on door you can tell how long it’s been since it’s been done up. Decor is tired, no investment in interior for some time. If you book triple room the third bed is a camp bed - very uncomfortable and not value for the extra £ - was about £60/70 more expensive than a double and the poor third person doesn’t have a good sleep.
Children’s facilities pool/softplay were great - although would prefer if flume and waves and softplay opened / started earlier for our early riser! Food in aspects restaurant was lovely.

United KingdomI didn’t like the fact the facilities (pool etc) were not available before check in like I was told in prior email communication. Though a lot of the property was updated, there were some aspects which were quite dated. The external doesn’t look great, there was a staff cleaning room (outside, adjacent to reception) with the glass shattered on the glass door and paint chipped on the door. In the room, there was a hole in the blanket and paint in the bath starting to chip. The dating aspect I’m not as bothered about because other areas are really nice and I suppose you can’t do everything at the one time. The swimming pool, when we did get in, had a load of floaters (mainly fluff) which considering this was 9am and there was only one other family besides my own in the pool, it points to the pool not being cleaned regularly (I.e. at the end of each day).
I loved how clean and comfortable it was. Easy to find off the A9. Staff friendly.

United KingdomService in the restaurant could have been better. Was rushed to order food due to a large group coming in. My second drink didn't turn up despite ordering midway through the main course, waited until I had finished my desert and gave in. I had to ask for it to be removed off the bill! Went to the bar and outside seating area sat there for 45 minutes (table service) and no-one had taken my order. Gave in and went to my room. Disappointing really for a hotel like this.
I have previously stayed at other hotels in the resort and kind of knew what to expect. Clean hotel, clean and comfortable rooms with plenty of space and no fuss. Plenty of on-site parking, various places to eat across the resort or a short walk to the town. Lady on reception who checked me in was very nice, friendly and helpful.

United KingdomThe breakfast was very good, with a good variety of choices. The service however was very bad. A long wait for some cooked items, items requested at the table had to be asked for 2 or 3 times. The tables are small, but no staff attempted to clear away dirty plates. Salt and pepper sets empty. There is a need for staff training and a good manager should be present overseeing the service. This poor service was obvious whether the restaurant was crowded or virtually empty. The hairdryer was broken, the toilet flush faulty and the shower drain clogged so that water overflowed onto the floor. I had to keep turning the shower off to wait for the water to slowly drain, then start showering again.
The room was very spacious and comfortable. The location is good, close to the centre of Aviemore.

It apparently was moved into the kitchen. There was no notice advising guests of this, nor were restaurant staff seating customers advising them of this.... amongst other things.
Lovely clean & refurbished room. Very helpful reception chap who swapped out tv which didn't work & arranged for our 'phone to be checked & repaired the next day.

United KingdomVery understaffed, rooms were not ready on time, room service were struggling to keep up with demand of turnover from coach parties AND service clients like us who were staying for several nights. The Pool and CHildrens facilities are only open 8 -12 and 4-8 so DOES NOT service families travelling with children very well whereas it always used to be great - especially if it was raining outside. This probably reflect the staff shortages. Both restaurants in the evening are overpriced with very limited menus for children. Great for family breakfasts but next time we would eat out for the rest of the day.
Great Breakfast. Excellent rooms. Lovely views, excellent amenities (When actually open!)
