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 KingdomWe had no expectations of Inverary, it was a just a half way stop on our way home from Skye - but what a beautiful place it is with plenty of places to eat and drink and lots of lovely little gift shops, and stunning views too. This was matched by our stay at The Old Rectory, which was just a few minutes walk away. It's a gorgeous old georgian building, with very friendly and charming owners. Our room was in the eaves with a view of the loch, it was very cosy, with a big comfy bed and a great shower. The breakfast was stunning, with my husband thoroughly enjoying the continental breakfast, whilst I enjoyed scrambled eggs - they were delicious. We would definitely stay again!

AustraliaNote one of the rooms had a proper shower (which was great) but the other was a claw foot shower/bathtub situation with no screen so high risk of getting water everywhere. Note that there are relatively steep stairs to the top room - just keep this in mind if that’s an issue for you.
Kathy was so friendly. She was so hospitable. The rooms were very pretty with great views over the loch. There was parking available behind the property. The breakfast Kathy put out was fantastic - there was so much choice! The accommodation was a very close walk to the George where we would highly recommend eating and drinking.

United StatesOur room was small, but the bathroom was large. The only complaint there was that there was no mirror at all in the bedroom, for blow drying my hair in the morning. Since European hotels usually only have razor plugs in the bathroom - not usable for hairdryers - I had to use the hair dryer for a minute in the bedroom, then run into the bathroom to check how my hair looked in the mirror there. I had to do this five or six times before my hair was dry. And since the bathroom had NO plugs at all, my husband had to do the same when using his electric razor. Also, parking for the b&b wasn't evident as we drove past the first time. We ended up parking in a co-op lot and calling to find out how to get to the parking area behind the house.
Breakfast was wonderful! Our hostess offered a huge choice of cold food - cheeses, yogurt, bagels, rolls, spreads, etc - as a buffet and also offered cooked items as well. We had a nice French press for coffee, with refills on request, and plenty of juice choice as well. Very yummy!
