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):
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.).

ChileNothing to criticize.
Heather is an outstanding hostess. Her caring and outgoing personality made our delightful stay unforgettable. Crown house, located in a quiet neighborhood at walking distance from the town centre, has stylish, cozy and very tidy rooms. Of note, the bed matress and sheets turned to be soft and quite confortable, favorising an excellent sleep quality. Besides, the breakfast included proved to be not only tasty, but also copious. We appreciated much her kind gesture of preparing a special avocado based breakfast, as my wife is strictly vegetarian. To sum up, we absolutely recommend Crown House to anyone planning to discover Inverness and the scottish Highlands. We hope to return someday in the future. Rodrigo and Kathy

Heather the host couldn't do enough for us from the moment we arrived,till the time we left. The room was beautiful and the breakfasts were fresh and filling. Heather also helped book meals for us at locations within Inverness city centre. Also the Crown house is in a great central location only a 10 min walk from Inverness city centre.

Everything! Heather, the proprietor was excellent! Great host, with a wonderful sense of humor. Her home was beautiful, so tastefully decorated and inviting. It was a visual delight. The bed was very comfortable. There were lights, plugs, and USB outlets where needed. Heather included luxuries such as a towel rack heater. Flowers filled her home. It was beautiful. A quick walk from the train station. Heather had a breakfast menu for her guests to choose from at check-in, so she would have it prepared in the morning. Heather and her partner Andy are first class all the way! Thank you for a wonderful stay and memories.

The host Heather was sensational. Sometimes we book a place and we only expect a nice place to sleep - but this was that and so much more. Heather really made the place special. Great recommendations, wonderful breakfast and a real “host” of her bed and breakfast. 10/10 would recommend.

United KingdomParking is in the drive, where there is space for two cars. You may end up parking on the road.
Great location, very peaceful, but just 15 minutes walk to the city centre. Lovely, spacious room, with two chairs. How often do you have a double room with just one chair, which is somewhat frustrating. Great breakfast. Good advice on where to eat and where to visit.

United StatesWe had an absolutely lovely time at Crown House. Our 2-night stay was made easy and relaxing by our amazing host, Heather. She went above and beyond, giving us tips to navigate our first visit to Scotland, and making us dinner reservations. Breakfast was absolutely delicious- eggs with salmon highly recommended! The house was clean and welcoming, off street parking was extremely helpful, and our bed was very comfortable. Crown House felt like a home away from home, and we would absolutely recommend a stay here to anyone visiting Inverness. You will not be disappointed.

My stay with Heather was absolutely wonderful. Such a beautiful and cosy home to be welcomed into. The breakfast options I tried were all delicious, I especially loved the porridge. The room was lovely and clean and smelt so fresh everytime I returned. It was peaceful at night time being in a lovely quiet neighbourhood. I am an animal lover so I especially loved meeting Mocha the dog and Jingle the cat and being welcomed back from a day exploring or greeted first thing in the morning😊 the cherry on top however was Heather, so lovely and I really enjoyed our chats. Thank you for making my stay extra special, you are fabulous and I hope to stay again 😊 ps. The wee dram of whiskey made it back to Bristol in one piece!

GermanyVery comfortable room and bed, mouth watering breakfast, which by itself would be enough reason to come back. Very friendly and incredibly caring host - to a point where you'll feel like being in the fanciest of hotels. I've never experienced anything quite like it. As described, the bathroom is not en suite. However, it was right next door and the hallway has always been quiet and private, so this was no issue at all. I have only ever run into one very well-behaved cat. The distance to the city center ended up being a blessing in disguise, as the short walk was through a very nice, quiet, low-traffic residential neighbourhood which apparantly is the oldest part of Inverness. In retrospect, I would hated staying in the center / near the train station.
