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 KingdomThe room is slightly dated is all, still a great stay.
It is an ideal couple of night getaway for a small family , it was myself , partner and two year old - on site there is soft play , a swimming pool , cinema , nearby a wildlife park featuring polar bears. On site there is a decent enough Italian restaurant which is my son’s favourite type of food. Would recommend for couples with young kids.

United KingdomLots. On the basis of the price and marketing - I was expecting a lux experience, but that, it isn't. My room, although comfortable enough - was dated - and the public areas, corridors etc are really shabby. The gym (something I was looking forward to) was really poor, small, claustrophobic - and the sauna and steam room had more of the feel of a large public baths than an upmarket hotel. There was supposed to be an upmarket shopping experience on site, but that was closed. Tbh it isn't really a full service hotel. I had thought that this might be where the skiing crowd hang out - but no, apparently, they are all up a step in private chalets (I discovered, chatting to a few I met in town).
The staff were generally either excellent (eg at reception and on the bar), or at least good enough (breakfast service was slow but ok). My room was comfortable and clean, but fittings etc dated. Aviemore is a very good location, and for sure, this hotel is much better than a direct competitor nearby in Colyumbridge. The breakfast was good.

United KingdomBreakfast meat was barely warm. First day my coffee came out after I finished eating. Second day I got my coffee faster. Men’s toilets and showers were closed at the pool. That is unacceptable to expect a man to not have to run to his room to use the toilet when he is swimming on the other side of the hotel.
Clean and comfortable

United KingdomBedding (it wasn't soft making it uncomfortable to sleep under). I found it too cold in the room. I was missing hooks in the room. No enough plugs. Jaccuzi wasn't on :(
Great location, swimming pool/soft play under the same roof. They gave us a room really close to the swimming pool (could go in my flip flops). Great size of the room. Sauna/steam room was a bliss.

United KingdomThe flat screen TV remote did not work on first getting into the room. The shower could not reach a warm enough temperature no matter how long it was left running. There were electrical sockets that were not properly fixed into the wall.
The room was very stylish, with good lighting, comfortable chairs and a good bed. There was typical tea and coffee facilities and a flat screen TV.

AustraliaMist of the on-site facilities were closed and only one restaurant was open. It may have not been the main session but want expecting as much closed. We also had noise issues with the fire door near our room having the soft close mechanism broken so everytime someone walked through it slammed shut. We mentioned this to the front desk after the first night and was told they would get maintenance to look at it but nothing changed while we were there.
Room was spacious and comfortable. Great location with the main Street in walking distance. Great pool and kids play area.
