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.).

SingaporeThere was nothing that the 4 of us (2 couples) didn't like about our stay at the Dalriada.
Sally and Robin were excellent! They were very friendly, lovely, and hospitable. The place was very clean and well kept. We enjoyed the breakfasts prepared. They were generous with the servings. Sally also made efforts to have little cakes for our afternoon teas. The property was close to the town. We will definitely look to stay there again if we visit Portree in the future.

United KingdomNothing to complain about, everything was great 😃.
Fantastic breakfast, delicious and beautifully served. It is full of different choices and home made things. Large portions with an option to take the leftovers on your trip. You also get homemade bakes as a little treat, which is just a lovely touch. The room was nice and spacious, VERY clean (cannot stress this enough), comfortable and cosy. Would definitely highly recommend staying there.

Our stay at Dalriada was perfect - a traditional bed and breakfast. The breakfast was wonderfully served with care with lots of options. The rooms were comfortable and our host provided lots of freshly baked cakes every day and biscuits etc. We also had lots of really lovely conversations with our hosts and they were even willing to drive us up to town with our bags on our final day as we didn't have a car.

AustraliaWe thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Dalriada. We felt very welcomed by Sally and Robin, the rooms were lovely, clean and fresh. Beautiful views and ideal location. We were spoilt with a lovely array of food for breakfast. Upon arrival, Sally had some yummy banana bread for us and as it was my birthday while staying, she also provided some birthday cupcakes which were delicious! We are travelling around the UK, staying at many places, Sally and Robin have certainly set the bar high and Dalriada is indeed our favourite stay. Thank you."

AustraliaWhat a delight it was to stay at Dalriada. Even before we arrived, Sally and Robin were in touch with us to ensure that we had booked evening meals, because Skye is a busy destination. Our room was equipped with everything we might need -tea/coffee, biscuits, ensuite bathroom, comfortable pillows and bed, a spacious room and it was quiet. Sally was very thoughtful in considering the individual needs of guests. She knew we preferred fresh milk and even provided us with replenished supply without us asking. Each day we were provided with home baked treats to accompany our afternoon tea. The room was immaculately clean. Dalriada has a beautiful breakfast room, with a pretty view, decorated with many little local touches, making it very inviting to browse. we’ve been travelling across Scotland for several weeks and the breakfast at Dalriada is exceptional: a wonderful fruit salad and extensive healthy options to follow. we cannot recommend Dalriada highly enough. We’ll be telling friends and family planning to come to Skye. we wouldn’t stay anywhere else. Book early!
