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.).

AustraliaPretty expensive for a hostel. The beds were hard and pillows flat. Not very comfortable. What you would expect for a hostel. Having said all that, would stay again just for the experience 🤣
Extremely friendly staff at check in and especially at the restaurant. The food at the restaurant was awesome and had a great atmosphere. It is in a perfect location, the area is beautiful.

United KingdomUnfortunately the private bedroom was extremely small, even for 2 people, let alone with our 2 small dogs in tow. Water pipes in the walls are very noisy when active and doors can be easily be heard opening and closing in multiple rooms. Bathroom was shared (which we knew would be the case) but shower was either boiling hot or freezing cold. Place could do with an upgrade. Considering the low standard of the room, the £10 per dog per night was a bit steep.
The location of the property is a beautiful gateway into the Isle of Skye. Staff were pleasant, especially in the Saucy Mary’s restaurant. The evening meal and breakfast was very tasty.

CanadaWalls are SUPER THIN!!! We could hear everything in the hallway & in the rooms beside us. People aren't respectful/aware of how sound travels. Dated buildings and room. Bathroom was separate to the room, although thankfully private to the room. No breakfast unless you pre-pay the night before and it was at least 12 GBP if not more. We didn't choose this option - too expensive for what was on offer. EXTREMELY expensive for what it is - 160 GBP for a room for one night. We paid less and got more at our previous & next locations (one of which was a IYH). I requested a quiet room and we were given a room directly across from the main entry/exit staircase and facing the road....so definitely a "high traffic area" of the building.
Location was fine. There was no problem finding parking. No problem checking in.

United KingdomWe stayed at Saucy Mary’s Hostel during our trip to Skye and overall had a pleasant experience. The staff were absolutely lovely—friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help with recommendations or questions. The rooms were okay—basic but functional, which is what you'd expect from a hostel. However, the bathrooms and showers definitely need a major upgrade. They were quite dated and not the cleanest, which took away a bit from the overall comfort of the stay. That said, the location is great for exploring the island, and the atmosphere was relaxed and social. With some improvements to the facilities, this place could be a real gem.

United KingdomTwin rooms do not have a private bathroom and it was very inconvenient to have to walk downstairs in the night for the toilet. Also..... the television did not work because the internet connection was too poor to stream programmes. Room was also very hot and stuffy. As the beds were tucked under the eves of the building it was a little awkward getting in / out of bed.
Hostel itself was fine with a good selection of beer and food. Breakfast was superb and served from 7.30am so good for a quick getaway.

IndiaBeds are soft..carpets are old and the bath had a strange odour. The kitchen is very small with some hot plates and hardly any utensils etc---If you are planning on cooking be early to use it as we had people queued up to cook next. Do not plan any big cooking event here as the staff will not be able to supply any additional utensils etc. We managed to request and get some from the restaurant ourselves.
Stayed at the dorm with dedicated bath and toilet(accessible with a key card). Beds are OK and the rooms are old and not fresh. Passable stay as I had no options when I booked. Location is great and there are eateries closeby.
