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 KingdomNo grumbles at all
This was a room only , without breakfast but since there's an excellent café next door this was not a problem. Owner was very helpful and friendly, room and bathroom were spotless and the view over the harbour was wonderful. The two rooms at the rear didn't have a waterfront view but size wise were good. Two rooms had private bathrooms rather than ensuites but these were opposite the rooms so it really didn't matter. The steps leading to the rooms were stone steps and were fine for us although possibly not so good for people with mobility issues. Really enjoyed our two nights' stay

United KingdomThe bathroom was disconnected from the room itself, and although a sign says "private for Room...", anyone could use, which meant I wasn't comfortable leaving things inside.
Fantastic room with a superb view out over the harbour. Comfortable bed and an equally relaxing sofa to sit on while observing the world going by. Good bathroom facilites, and a seamless checking in process.

United StatesIt took a bit of time to figure out where it was - a better description of the building online would be handy. We also misunderstood that a "king room" didn't mean a king bed. All good, but might change the wording to avoid confusion.
Room included coffee packs and a kettle. Double beds were comfortable. Quiet area. Very clean rooms and shared spaces.

United KingdomThe shower is quite small, and the water pressure is weak. Only a small heater in the room, it takes some time to heat up the room.
The location makes it easy for us to catch the ferry early in the morning. Also, it's easy for parking.

United KingdomI wasn't keen on the stone steps going up to the room. They were like castle steps.
The Waterfront has fantastic views of Tarbert. We thought that it might be a bit noisy, being in the front, but even on a Saturday night it was quiet.
