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.).

Hong KongThe road into the property is narrow and quite long, so not a place you want to go out for dinners. A place to stay and explore the island at your leisure.
The staff was attentive, strong shower and decent bathroom. Food was very good, beyond my expectations

United KingdomStaff attentiveness was moderate. Having never been before, the arrangements for breakfast were a little confusing and not explained to us on arrival - we had similar for the evening meal where we were left for quite a while before being able to order more of the amazing tapas dishes. Also our breakfast order was incorrect (very minor inconvenience).
We loved the Spa Suite which was huge. The location was stunning and the walks around the grounds were great. We dined at the Deck restaurant where the food was fabulous and the view pretty stunning too.

United KingdomOther reviews mentioned the small portion size for dinner & I would agree. The Deck Restaurant menu lists `wee plates` & suggests 3-4 per couple. We found it to be 3-4 plates per person (it was all delicious though) The portions for the main hotel restaurant were also on the small side.
The location of this hotel is amazing being on its own island accessed by a short road bridge. The hotel itself is surrounded by trees but the view from the Spa, Deck Restaurant & island walks are spectacular. The staff could not be more helpful & welcoming. An amazingly relaxing place to stay.

United KingdomNew staff not up to speed of standards. The glasses used to serve Spirits and Soft drinks were thick rimmed and unsophisticated. Cooked breakfasts were not great. Potato scones were not cooked and we think scottish breakfast should be served spread out on the plate, not in a tower in the middle of the plate.

Our room had a great view and both room and bathroom were large with every facility. The upgraded spa and deck restaurant has been tastefully done. The small plates served were delicious. And the location is spectacular. Wonderful views in all directions.

United KingdomWe would definitely come back, the only feedback I would give is, dinner at the restaurant is slightly dated. I feel for what the price is for dinner it’s a bit stiff and portions were a little wee. I say this with positive feedback and not too sound on myself I have eaten at Rick steins, been to fabulous restaurants around Scotland Australia New Zealand Norway etc. we would definitely come back just think the restaurant needs to relax a little more and some music also.
The grounds and spa were just perfect ! Room was beautiful

United KingdomWe were offered the chance to enter a ballot for an upgrade, which we did but when we arrived we were told there were none of the rooms available. A bit disappointing after thinking we might have had a chance to upgrade (especially considering it was our honeymoon) but it we were still happy as we had booked a lovely cottage.
Lovely spa facilities, so relaxing and very well maintained spa. I had a massage which was fantastic. The therapist was lovely and friendly. The gentleman at the spa reception also explained everything so well and made sure we had everything we needed. We had booked a cottage with a hot tub too which was excellent. The food in the restaurant was absolutely phenomenal and cooked to perfection. We were also offered some complimentary champagne on arrival as it was a special occasion which was much appreciated. It was a nice touch. The staff were so attentive.
