Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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 KingdomIt would have been nice to have had a second chair in our twin room.
The kitchen facilities were good and we enjoyed sitting in the garden in the sunshine. Having the ability to make a morning cup of coffee was appreciated. If we had stayed longer we would have liked to try some of the trails around the area.

Deluxe double room with ensuite was very very spacious and comfortable. Loved the view from the window at the back of the property. Friendly welcome, and facilities available in the kitchen area were great. Also loved the highland cattle roaming the nearby fields, lovely peaceful stay!

United Arab EmiratesThe reception had a good variety of snacks and frozen pizzas for late arriving guests. It would've been fantastic to find a beer among the offerings as well.
Prompt and clear communication from beginning to end. In fact, the most detailed set of information I've received from any of the properties I've stayed in while driving around the NC500. Lara put my mind at ease by informing about late check-in procedures, so I didn't have to rush on the road. Normally, I prefer not to share bathrooms and kitchens, but given the high demand for properties around the area at this time of the year, I was left with no other option. This wasn't a problem at all. Everything is super organized and pristine, from the communal kitchen, laundry room, toilets and showers. I opted for a single room, which was clean, comfortable and adequate after a whole day on the road. Appelcross Village and Heartfield are surrounded by rugged, yet peaceful settings, and I wish I had dedicated more time to this area.

United KingdomUnfortunately heard very loud Germans at 2330 and again the next morning at 0600. They obviously didn't read the signs that asked guests to keep quiet between 2200-0700.
Excellent facilities for a hostel. Very clean.

AustraliaJust be aware of where the drive takes you - its our own fault but we didn't realise we would be driving through a mountain pass to get there.
A great place to stay if you had a group of friends. Lots of fabulous rooms that could be joined or private for your own preference. Kitchen space was fantastic, close to the town restaurants (though book in advance if you're thinking of eating there).

United KingdomI only have one negative comment, and that was the mattress could do with an upgrade, I but if you've been sleeping in a tent previously, I'm sure you would be in heaven.
I have never stayed in a hostel before and was pleasantly surprised. We stayed in a private room with a bathroom. It seemed to have loads of facilities for walkers and bikers. The room was lovely and warm and very clean. The location is absolutely fantastic.

United KingdomBooked a double/ensuite room for my wife and I plus a twin room with shared facilities for our son. Our room was fantastic - more like a suite with sitting area with views to the mountains and tea/coffee facilities. The twin room was basically just that with 2 beds and nothing else. This was fine as it was as expected - our room was a definite bonus. There was nice 'community' feel as it was full of like-minded people of various ages all touring round the Scottish Highland areas

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.
