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.).

Breakfast was delightful, a lovely selection and all locally sourced produce. The whirlpool bath was fantastic and the suite itself was immaculate. Check in was very easy even though we arrived after 8pm.

United KingdomThe only very minor issue is the gated entrance to the property. A bit of a faff to enter and leave by car. Not a problem if you only make one car trip per day but more often it is a slight nuisance. Not an issue if walking out though! An electric gate would make this perfect but appreciate that may not be possible.
A beautiful room, surrounded by wonderful gardens in a stunning location with views over Suilven from my windows. An amazing jacuzzi -type bath in a bathroom with heated flooring add a spa feel to a spacious living area that make the room a wonderful space to hang out and relax.

United KingdomSuite was spacious, beautifully decorated, with comfortable bed. Breakfast was beautifully prepared and presented with fresh produce and plenty of choice. Quiet location off the beaten track but still easily found and a good base for exploring the local area. Our room had a great view of Lockinver harbour. The welcome from both hosts was very warm and sincere and it is easy to see how proud they are of the house. Highly recommended.

That was probably the most cosy place I ever stayed in my life. Value for money is a real thing here. Both hosts couldn't be nicer and the landscape is breathtaking. Nothing can be better in this place. We'll definitely be back!

United States10/10 no notes!
Truly the best place we’ve ever stayed. The owners are so charming and they have put so much love into every single aspect of the property and guest experience. We were absolutely stunned by our surprise view behind the Byre Suite and the breakfasts were outstanding and made with fresh produce from the beautiful gardens on the property. We have stayed in some of Scotland’s finest hotels/airbnbs/bnbs/vrbos and this one was the hardest to leave! We will definitely return and cannot recommend this gem enough!
