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.).

United KingdomThe hostel had a kitchen with a few tables but no lounge area. The facilities were ok but run down.
We stayed at this hostel while walking the Affic Kintail Way. Just for one night. It was a convenient location in an area with few accommodation options.

RomaniaWe were surprised when we arrived here that there was no staff in the aria. On the front door were so many bird droppings that a had to push with my feet so we can enter inside. The smell of old house, no ventilation, we had to open all the windows to get fresh air, but none of the windows had insects protection.
We like the location, and the village near by. Great for hikers.

United KingdomBasic room.admittedly a hostel not hotel but I’ve paid similar for hotel that was better value. Beds very uncomfortable and front door to room 3 doesn’t close properly making it difficult to lock. Kitchen well equipped but no good for me as I had to leave by 7 and it did t open until 7:3@
Good sized room. Bathroom large and decent shower. Kitchen well equipped

United KingdomThe mattress was pretty grotty for comfort. A new arrival was given the wrong code for their room and the telephone number I phoned on their behalf was never answered. So no sighting of the owner in three days I was there. I didn’t use the kitchen facilities so can’t comment. No information about anything available. Frankly this place should only be considered as a last resort.
Nothing much

United KingdomI appreciate it is a hostel and the thing which let it down were the shared facilities. It was clean enough when we arrived but there were very few mugs and spoons of any sorts. the cooking pots and pans were clean but very worn and one tin was extremely rusty. There were enough facilties to prepare and cook a meal but things got worse over the 4 nights we stayed as the place was not cleaned so the floors were filthy, the bins un emptied. The kitchen surfaces were kept clean as all the guest tidied and cleaned up after themseleves well. No washing up was left dirty although after the first day there were no clean teatowels. The toilet paper ran out in the communal toilets. The dining room was very cold so we ate our first meal in coats and after that ate in our lovely warm room. Our room was round the back and the decking was covered in leaves and very slippery. There were no outside lights either which made it worse. The place has huge potential and we would consider staying again as we would be better prepared with picnic stuff, table and chairs
The bedroom and bath room were clean and comfortable. The setting is beautiful.

SwedenCleaning behind cupboards and under beds lacking, dead insects and dust, TV not working, bathroom toilet brush was absolutely disgusting all the way up the handle - yet the toilet itself was cleaned well and so was the sink, was OK for a one-nighter, but that brush was a sight to behold without even using it, such a cheap problem to not have to deal with when IKEA sells brushes for nothing..
Cheap and not too far away from points of interest, beautiful shallow river nearby, quiet. Despite negatives, it was absolutely worth the cheap price, I am overall satisfied. Clean and quite comfortable beds for the price. Community kitchen was alright, full kitchen access.

United KingdomCommon kitchen area could do with a general clean. It was tidy but things felt a little oily. Ability to rent a towel would’ve helped but I think that only applied to the situ that my friend were in. Other than that, it was as expected.
Location was nice and easy to find. Quiet. Rooms were clean.

United KingdomThe room was little small but defenitely manageable for a short stay, specially when we are mostly out on the road. Parking was also little difficult but manageable as well. Only the entrance of the property could be little more open for driving the car in safely, it was bit tight.
The location is very beautiful and not very far from Inverness or other attractions. Kitchen was well equipped and clean.

United KingdomThe shower curtain was full of mould... Also, I booked a single room with the bathroom, and there were four beds in the room - a bit confusing. No bath towels provided - I didn't find any info about that on the hostel description. Also, guests that arrived late (12am) were noisy, and the walls between the rooms are very thin.
Easy self check in. Access to well equipped kitchen which was clean. Parking on site. Warm room as heating was on.
