How guest reviews work
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 use a weighted review system which means that 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewThe food and waiting staff were both very good.
The bedrooms and other areas of the hotel require upgrading. The stay was not the standard we expected for the price.

It was a very hot room & if you opened the windows for air, the midgies would come in. The carpet felt very dirty.

Verified reviewThe breakfast was perfect for our needs.
We arrived late and missed dinner. At least crisps were available for purchase.

Verified reviewFirst visit to Mull. Decided against self-catering as shops few and far between. What a great find. Bunessan is an excellent location to visit Iona( we had a car) Fantastic hospitality here. Bedroom a good size. Food great: with GF options. Evening meals excellent. Breakfast very good. Lovely view from dining room. Thank you
Plenty of hot water but shower room a bit on the small side.

Verified reviewBig room with an amazing view! The food at the pub downstairs was excellent — a real bonus to have such tasty meals just a few steps away from our room!
The only downside was the mattress — we could really feel the springs, so it might be time for an upgrade.

Verified reviewBreakfast was good.
We were informed upon checking in that a live event was on the following evening, and that if we wanted a meal, to eat early. As our plans involved us being out all day and coming home late, this was not possible. The live event went on quite late and we could hear the bass in our room. Not the best thing. The room was large and the beds were comfortable. Decor was 'tired'. A HUGE green lit up sign notifying of the fire exit did not make for a good night's rest.

Verified reviewFabulous location. Extremely helpful and friendly staff and management. Food was good and views from the restaurant are lovely.
Beer choice very limited - as a result the hotel owner kindly drove us to a real ale pub in the next village. World class customer service!!!

Verified reviewRoom was a decent size, scenic location not far from Iona.
Breakfast poor if one chose a non-cooked breakfast. Bed needs replacing. Curtains could be better as they let in so much light (and sunrise was 0400). Annoying emergency light on all night and right in front of the bed (in entrance ). Annoying room door rattled all the time (had to wedge it shut to stop it at night). Neigbouring/opposing room door closing was on the richter scale. Ulimately, the £222 was a lot for what it was for one night.
