Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomSmaller kettle in the room would have been better as it wouldn’t fit under the tap in the sink so you had to fill it in the shower
Beautiful period property with original features. Couldn’t fault the cleanliness of the room or the lovely full works breakfast ! Lovely 5 mins stroll into the centre of Dornoch and a bonus that straight from the property we were on the path of a lovely long walk down to Embo beach

United KingdomSound insulation maybe could be slightly better. Temp control of the shower was a bit erratic but none of this spoilt our stay at all.
Good location, homely charm, really nice to stay in a family run B&B. Room was clean comfortable, no complaints. Breakfast was excellent. Dornoch is a brilliant place to stay in, a lovely picturesque village.

United States of AmericaThe only difficulty I had was due to my disability and the tub being so tall, which made it hard to enter/exit. But, it was a great place to stay!
the owner is fantastic! The house is a marvel. And despite our needing to leave super-early (before breakfast) she showed us where we could help ourselves to toast, cereal, etc.

United KingdomNothing we disliked. Possible addition of a full mirror in either bedroom or bathroom and sockets higher than skirting board as they were difficult to access with some of our plugs.
Good location for walking into the town centre. Plenty of space in the room. Clean and comfortable house within private grounds. Lovely and quiet.

I had a twin room with ensuite and it was spotless. The position of Woodlands is perfect, a couple of minutes walk to the beach and town centre. My bed was really comfy and sheets super soft. I stayed for 5 days and had a lovely stay, everything I needed. Bel and Alistair were really friendly and had a lovely breakfast everyday with local produce (the back pudding and bacon were especially good).

United KingdomThe bathroom in our room seems to have been recently updated, however there is no light above the mirror, just wires sticking out of the wall, leaving the bathroom slightly dark. There was no vegetarian option offered for breakfast, but we were happy with leaving out the meat element of the breakfast.
Well located, close to the centre of Dornoch and its beautiful beach. Our room was spacious and clean.
