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 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 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 KingdomBreakfast arrangements might not work so well if the hotel was busy. There was no water available in the breakfast room for washing or drinking and nowhere to leave used bowls and cutlery apart from on the table, leaving it untidy for the next people. Staff didn't always check and top up supplies or clean every day so some days things ran out.
Stayed in the coach house which was self contained with separate entrance and had plenty of room for us to spread out, including a porch for our wet weather gear. There was a large bath as well as a shower and lots of hot water. Chose this as an alternative to camping as the weather was mixed, and would definitely book again. No staff on site and decor quite worn so not a luxury experience, but suited us fine for the price, clean and had everything we needed. Great value for money. The self serve breakfast was a welcome bonus, offering coffee machine, cereals, packaged pastries, juice and long life milk.

United KingdomMattress a bit lacking in depth and padding. The garden view would be improved if the pile of old mattresses and doors was removed. Its a bit strange having no staff around at all but I guess that keeps the cost down
Lovely large room with four poster bed and garden view (room 9). Big bathroom with large corner bath and shower. All very clean and comfortable and very good value Grab and go breakfast worked well - nothing fresh but enough to get me up a mountain that morning!

GermanyA bit ramped up the room. Broken lampshade, key hard to handle, drillholes in the walls... Was all still okay but could use renovation (and a bit oil for the key lock)
Nicely located house, great community spaces in the main house. A Really nice building. My room was in a wing of it, the room was OK (for the price of course). It was clean and had all you needed. A bit from the center of Kingussie but still walkable

United KingdomThere was no staff on site but not a problem for me, we collected our key from the box and swiftly found our room which was well sign posted/mapped out. There is no restaurant on site but also not a problem for me as we were eating out for lunch/dinner and I brought breakfast with me.
Room was clean, comfortable, spacious and warm. The harribo snack packets on the tea tray were a lovely touch as i was staying with my 7yo. The hotel was quiet and well situated in kingussie, within walking distance to the main street but far enough away to not hear traffic etc I would happily stay again.

United KingdomThe mattress was thin and really uncomfortable which was a shame because the room was otherwise perfect. Money spent on a good mattress in a hotel should be a priority and is never wasted! I didn’t mind that there was no restaurant or bar open at the time of visiting because I was visiting friends and dining with them.
The room was spacious with great views and it was really convenient and cheap for visiting friends.

United KingdomIf I had to be really choosy it could do with a revamp but to be honest for the money I paid it was great. So much so I would stay again.
It was a great bargain and close to Newtonmore where we were walking. We stayed in Crofters wing Rm 3 it had a space for your car right at the front door which was great. The bed was comfy and it was very warm considering it was The Artic Blast !!!!

United KingdomConvoluted correspondence. Multiple emails asking for arrival time. In total about 15. Attempts to let them know by reply either bounced back or were ignored. Online check-in asking for second guest name but would not allow a name to be entered. attempts to clarify by phone ended up (i think) at a call centre. No sign of a staff member during our whole stay. Awkward key collection and return. unpainted doors made it seem like a hostel, unlit gravel road to the house. Room was clean.
We slept reasonably well. Bed was spacious, bathroom clean.

United KingdomThe fire alarm when off when we arrived, didn’t see many staff as if was self checkin (although the self checkin is super easy). Would be nice if they had more lighting in the room. The doors could need some upgrade.
They had a separate kitchen which was free to use with a coffee machine, microwave, cereal and milk. Had coffee in room too. Heating was already turned on when we arrived which was a plus. Accommodation is close to a Co-Op to get some stuff if you need
