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...).

BelgiumThe room was located at the back with the window to the pub terrace. So be mindfull of the noise if you are a light sleeper. The terrace closes at midnight tho, so personally I didn’t mind the noise too much. The stairway hall had an unpleasant smell.
Very clean room, with all the necessities provided.

United KingdomShower stall floor was a little slippy - and might benefit from self adhesive anti slip pads. We were warned about potential noise from the outdoor seating area but actually heard none, but the street noise is pretty loud - just close the windows and wear ear plugs for a good nights sleep. Only 5 rooms but a slow motion closing device on the outer hallway door would reduce the constant door slamming which occured with guests arriving and departing later at night.
Budget accomodation in the centre of Inverness. Room was very clean, with a good and instantly responsive central heating in the bedroom. Wall mounted towel radiator in the shower room also worked (surprising how many of these are disabled in more expensive hotels). Power shower was very welcome at the end of each day. Toiletries (toilet paper & hand wash soap) were added to without having to be asked Good ventilation on warmer days with both top and bottom opening windows - but with a security catch on both to prevent full opening (which was a good safety feature). Downstairs Bar served excellent selection of quality pizzas.

United KingdomAll fine.
Perfect location in the centre of Inverness with parking close by and a short walk to bus and train stations. The (single) room was small but comfortable and clean with an en-suite shower room and tea / coffee making facilities. Breakfast is not included but there are plenty good cafes nearby. The bar is excellent with a great selection of beers from the local Black Isle Brewery and the freshly made pizzas are recommended. Staff are very friendly and helpful and the place has a lively, friendly vibe. Also dog friendly which is a bonus.

CanadaThe room seemed pricey for what we got. There was no chair nor table although there was plenty of space. Some of the other rooms had a table and chairs. Sitting on a bunk bed is not particularly comfortable.
The location is excellent. The rooms are above the Black Isle Bar in downtown Inverness, close to the bus and train stations. Our room looked out over the street and although we heard a bit of street noise, we did not get any bar noise. The room was newly renovated and had a double/single bunk bed. The bedding and pillows were good. Kettle, coffee and milk were provided (love this!)
