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 KingdomWe were asked to pay for towels, only to find that there were towels available in our rooms.
The rooms were very comfortable and the showers were some of the best we came across on a 7 night tour of Northern Scotland. The communal kitchen was spacious and well-equipped.

FranceI was driving alone and the road to go at the hostel was kind of complicated for me. It's a single road with passing place (at least for 15km) so you need to be super concentrate. For some people it can be find, but after a full day hiking and driving in Scoltand it can be a lot.
The staff is so welcoming. For the girl's shower we can see that everything is well thought out and its clean. The place is really peacful.

United KingdomThe Hartfield is a lovely place to stay, the facilities looked to cover just about everything you would need. The room was very clean and while not en-suite the shower and toilets were also very clean, in fact the whole place was clean and looked fresh.

New ZealandOther travellers. The couple next door to my room were quite inconsiderate and spent till after midnight chatting which I could hear quite clearly. There was also some people that arrived/departed in the early hours of the morning and they were quite loud about it
Loved how helpful the staff were and the location of the property. It was also super nice have a room of my own I could fully relax in

United KingdomThe bed, but everything else was fab.
Hostel with bunks and double and ensuite rooms, great value and very clean, however our bed particularly was rather uncomfortable, we could feel the springs! - but, there aren't many places to stay in the area so it was a great spot. Everyone was extremely friendly. Beautiful grounds with highland cattle and deer and a fabulous restaurant within walking distance called the walled garden which we would highly recommend.

United KingdomTo be honest there’s nothing I don’t like. Can’t wait to go back again. The remoteness might not suit some people but to me that’s the beauty of it.
Stayed in a single room with shared facilities to reduce cost. Perfectly acceptable and slept well. The hostel was clean and had a very good kitchen. Was very lucky with the weather and really enjoyed walking over 4 days. So peaceful on the walks you could just melt . Birds were singing and bees buzzing.The leaflet showing a map of the walks is available at reception along with other information about the area. Very helpful. All the staff were friendly, so many thanks to them, especially Jess. I love the location especially as it almost feels detached from the rest of the world.This is my second stay at this friendly hostel and I’ve booked again for next year.
