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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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.).

The hosts were very friendly and welcoming. The room is immaculate and the position across from Skye makes for stunning views. The breakfast was extremely varied and generous. Communication with the hosts prior to checking in was great so we were able to book into the excellent Glenelg Inn right next door for a delicious dinner.

AustraliaIf I had to be picky I would say the breakfast. Having stayed at B&Bs for the previous week all had fresh berries and croissants. The berries here were from a frozen pack and there were no croissants only a bread roll wrapped in plastic.
Everything.

United KingdomNothing it was perfect!
The property was everything I could have asked for and more. A quaint little studio with amazing views across the water. A dedicated parking space and a beach within a minutes walk. There is a handy booklet with all the rooms information as well as local information. I was advised that the room would be stocked with continental breakfast but was amazed by the offering - porridge pots, granola, cereal, fresh fruit, scones etc. the fridge also had fresh water, milk, orange juice. The bed was large and comfortable with clean, luxurious bedding. Easy to connect WiFi with a strong connection - perfect for me doing work admin and streaming shows. The bathroom was beautifully presented and had lovely smelling soaps and shampoos included.

The accommodation was superb and well appointed with a fantastic view across the Loch. We were provided with a healthy breakfast and luxurious bedding, towels etc that added to a wonderful experience. A great location to sit back and relax. The owners were very friendly and attentive and made sure we wanted for nothing.

AustraliaThe room was perfect with everything provided to meet our needs, it was so clean and there was plenty of food for our continental breakfast. The view from the room was amazing. Our hosts recommended we book and eat at the pub next door, the food served was very good with a great atmosphere, a typical country pub. If you are going to the Isle of Skye, the accommodation is close to the ferry for the trip across. Thank you Rebecca, we will definitely recommend your accommodation to our family and friends if they visit Scotland.

SpainWhile the breakfast is great it would be nice to have the additional option of something cooked, or at least the possibility to toast bread.
Gorgeous location right on the shore of the bay. Stunning drive on single track roads to arrive. Perfect start to visit Isle of Skye with the Glenelg ferry. New modern and very comfortable room and amenities. Rebecca and Iain were amazing hosts, and shared some key tips to make our trip that much better. One of the very best places I have stayed in many decades of travels at hundreded of hotels.

This property was perfect for us, the property was beautifully presented and the views out of the window were spectacular, felt very peaceful. The breakfast that was left exceeded our expectations and a great treat to end our stay. We really enjoyed the country pub next door and wish we had booked for a meal there, not knowing if there was going to be a restaurant so close. The self check in was great and was lovely to meet the wonderful owners in the morning. We will definitely will be back for longer next time!

United KingdomNothing could have been better this place is exceptionally good. You will regret staying at Kirkton Bay.
Me and my wife absolutely loved it here. The owners were so friendly and the room was outstanding. Nestled in a quiet little village we found ourselves in a room that was finished to a very high standard. Other points to make are as follows, 1. Exceptionally clean 2. The best views to wake up to 3. Nice continental breakfast with cereal, bread, frui,yoghurt, milk, and orange juice 4. Pub literally next door with a great atmosphere, very friendly locals and serving some of the best pub food I have ever had. 5. You can tell from the moment you arrive this place is run with love, care and hard work to maintain such a stunning place. I have stopped in alot of b&b/hotels around Britain and this place would be in my top 5. We loved our stay and are currently looking at returning next year but for longer. You will not be disappointed stopping at Kirkton Bay.
