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.).

United StatesNothing! Some commented on the location being a bit far from the town of Portree but we walked to town and back for dinner and it was a nice 15ish min walk and had sidewalks the whole way.
Amazing breakfast homemade by the Roses! You get a menu the day before which you can select the items you want- you won’t be left hungry! The homemade yogurt was amazing- the other reviews don’t lie! The Roses have literally thought of everything you could need and want! So many extra little touches. I would recommend this place to anyone traveling to isle of skye!

United StatesOur bathroom was across the hall but still very private. Was not a problem for us but some people might not like. Walk to town might be harder for someone older or mobility issues.
Breakfast was wonderful with a lot of choices. Breakfast room was lovely with a lot of windows. Bathroom was very nice with a great shower! There is a sidewalk all the way to town about a 15 minute walk and fairly well lit at night!

United StatesThe location was great, just out of the center of town so quiet and yet close enough. With only two rooms, not crowded and parking was great. Breakfast was delicious, all home made. The hosts were great, made us feel very welcome and gave us great hints on places to eat and travel through the Isle of Sky. The Best B & B we stayed in all of our Scotland trip. Highly recomend.

United StatesEverything was great.
Lian and Andy are perfectionist hosts with no detail too small for attention. The bedroom, bathroom, common use living room and breakfast area were all exceptionally clean and comfortable. Breakfast was made to order with our party of four all having different meals -veggie omelette, smoked salmon, Scottish breakfast, bacon and eggs with fresh juices, fruits and baked goods. They are lovely people who take pride in their beautiful home. Location convenient to downtown Portree. Would definitely stay there again.

The couple who run the bed and breakfast are amazing and couldn't do enough for you. The bed and pillows are so comfy you won't want to get up Breakfasts were plenty and varied. You even get cake for your days out. .
