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 KingdomAbsolutely nothing-it was perfect.
Really comfortable, clean, quiet. Perfect place for coming to and from Inverness Airport or for joining the NC500. Lovely quiet countryside and beautiful views. Heather couldn’t have been nicer to us. We appreciated the lovely breakfast and snacks that were left for us-fresh milk and juice, fruit and yoghurt in the fridge, bread for toast and shortbread and oatcakes as well as plenty tea and coffee. One of the best places we have stayed at.

United KingdomNothing. For a longer stay I'd want a cooker, but it was absolutely perfect.
No cooker, but apart from that this is the best place we've ever stayed. The bed is huge and comfy, even though breakfast isn't included there was plenty of breakfast food provided, the finishing and furnishing are beautiful, it's just a lovely place to be. Location is great, in a village just off the A9. And the hosts are the nicest family you could ever hope to meet.

- great new spacious Appartement with movie room, kitchen bathroom etc. - comfortable big bed - great value and location on NC500

United KingdomAbsolutely nothing. We could not have been more comfortable, welcomed & looked after.
Everything. The place is stunning. The family are so friendly & accommodating. Breakfast - delivered each day, superb. Location for the NC500 & everything the Black Isles has to offer could not be better. Wonderful hosts who clearly work extremely hard to make their home & guest accommodation luxurious, warm and spacious but cosy. Thank you for a wonderful couple of days.

United KingdomAbsolutely nothing
This is a little gem of an apartment. Right from walking through the door we knew we were going to enjoy it. The hosts were really lovely and so accommodating. They worked extra hard to make sure the hot tub was ready for us and went out of their way to make us feel at home. They had fresh bread/fruit/milk etc ready for us. The location was great for us, with plenty of parking space. It was good value compared to what else was on offer and I wouldn't want to stay anywhere else after experiencing the kind hospitality.

GermanyThis is such a great place to stay a few days! Our lovely host was welcoming us with open arms and always happy to help. If you need recommendations for evening activities, restaurants, tourist's attractions or just another slice of bread, Heather will provide you with everyone one would need. The guest house is located just a short trip north of Inverness in a quiet villages, which makes for a quiet night*s sleep and a great location for road trips. I highly recommend staying at Straw View and enjoy Heather's hospitality.
