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.).

AustraliaWe loved every aspect of Taransay House from the room to the service to the food. It was all amazing. The hosts were very knowledgeable of the local area and provided great insights into the best places to visit. We could not recommend this place any more.

United Statesthe stay was too short
This 4 room hotel that includes breakfast and dinner is one of the best Hotels i've ever stayed in. For comparison purposes I've stayed at the Hassler in Rome, the St Regis in NYC and numerous Four Seasons and Ritz Carltons across Europe. the food is killer and there is nothing Murdo who runs Taransay with his son will not do for you.

If you are not staying at Taransay House while in Portree, you are truly missing out! The location is absolutely spectacular. The food was out of this world and the service was even better. My friend and I enjoyed our stay and would would book again if I ever find myself in Portree again.

United StatesAmazing contemporary property with views of the water. Interior is in excellent condition and has every amenity you could possibly want. A super king bed with large sitting area, roomy shower in bathroom with a soaking tub. Breakfast and Dinner was included with our stay. Many thanks to Chef Scott for 3 exceptional breakfasts and dinners that rival any Michelin star restaurant. All prepared with locally sourced. Thanks also to Murdo for all the best walking trails on Skye to fantastic service and great coffee. We loved all our chats. Can say enough good things about Taransay House. Truly an exceptional place to spend a few days on the beautiful Isle of Skye.

SingaporeNothing!
Everything was superb from the moment we arrive! The food, the hotel itself and both Murdo and Scott are very hospitable and friendly. I love how we don't have to worry about our meals (breakfast and dinner) and we can just chill and relax and enjoy! The food is Michelin star grade and we were grateful how Scott would check and customize them to our preference. The room is spacious, modern, comfortable and the bath tub is huge!! Murdo did a great job in explaining to us how to get around and the places we should visit. Thank you so much ❤️🌈 would definitely be back if i were to visit skye again!

United KingdomWas meant to give a 10 but in my opinion, it was a bit too pricey for a night stay.
Where do I start? The host welcomed us in personally when we arrived, gave us some whiskey, gave us a room tour, and we had a nice chat, he also provided us with what to see during our drive from Portree to Inverness the next day! The room itself was bright and modern, with a nice double bed and a decent bathtub! The view from the room is excellent, overlooking Loch Portree. The food provided in the restaurant for dinner and breakfast (both included in the price) was really good! Would definitely recommend staying here as a nice treat to yourself!
