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.).

AustraliaNeeded to book times for breakfast and evening meals a bit difficult when we were touring about with no schedule or plan. No lift. Staff assisted in carrying my suitcase upstairs.
Very calm, quiet place to stay between sightseeing trips. Lovely lake but didn't fish.. Good size room.

United StatesExceptional location, less than half an hour from everywhere in Orkney. The room we stayed in had a great view of the Loch. The hotel is very well-maintained, and the on-site restaurant is excellent, utilizing local ingredients, including fresh fish from the Loch. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend this property.

United KingdomThe suite could have had a table by the sofa to put your drink on. If you had the shower fully on the water overflowed onto the bathroom floor. The wall hanging was infested by moths!!!
The breakfast was great and served by a particularly terrific staff. The water was really hot. The position of the hotel is sensational.

United KingdomWith such high-standard modern hotel facilities, much of the evening meal menu was a little old-fashioned. The food was well presented but lacked the 'wow factor' that the rest of the experience offered.
Breakfast was excellent, the room was perfect and the hotel's location is very attractive and is ideal for exploring Orkney (we didn't venture off the main island). Very friendly and caring staff.

United KingdomBreakfast had to be pre-ordered the night before for a fixed time, and fruit portions were rather small. Scrambled eggs tended to be overcooked, despite (presumably) being prepared fresh for the selected time. Starter choices were very limited for me due to fish allergy. But there were not many real negative points.
Comfortable & mostly traditional hotel with very good unpretentious food. Staff were friendly & helpful and service was good. Food portions were very generous, with lots of well-cooked vegetables. Staff were careful and accommodating of my fish & seafood allergy. Room and bathroom were comfortable, though a bit dated. Location on loch was very pleasant. Shortbread provided in room was lovely.

United KingdomStaff are super friendly. I was upgraded to the Suite 1 on arrival (no extra charge) and it was delightful. I found I could park my pushbike just outside my door in the spacious and secure vestibule. The large en-suite room, with TV and other amenities, suited my needs. It is modern, quiet and with spectacular views! Bed was super comfy; shower instantly warm and powerful. Staff even provided me with clothes pegs so I could hang my cycling gear outside.

United KingdomIf I had to nitpick then the rooms storage space and horizontal surfaces were limited especially in the bathroom, but workable.
The breakfast experience was faultless. The evening dining was absolutely superb, I stayed four nights and the specials in particular changed each day. The views are breathtaking. Also it was well situated as a starting point for sight-seeing around the island.
