Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

DenmarkWe had an amazing stay at Appin Bay View. The owner, Mike, couldn't have been more accommodating. He had lots of tips of what to see and do in the local area, recommendations for the best local restaurants, and was the best host. The accommodation is really convenient for exploring the area around Glencoe and Fort William. The magnificent and breathtaking view from our spacious and comfortable room was the icing on the cake. The breakfast was delicious, especially the Asian breakfast which sets you up for the whole day. Wish we could have stayed longer, but I'm sure that we'll be back again at some point in the future.

United KingdomHonestly there was nothing that we didn't enjoy regarding our stay.
Excellent breakfast each morning that set us up for the day. I have travelled to the Highlands several times and this was by far the best place I have stayed to date. Mike our host is a true gent who went far beyond our expectations in looking after us and went the extra mile to make our stay gold standard.

BelgiumWish we had more time to explore the area!
We had a wonderful stay! We were attending a wedding nearby and stayed here for two nights. Very comfortable, spacious room and wonderful views from the property. Breakfast is great and Mike, the host, is very friendly and helpful. The pub nearby makes for a convenient and delicious dinner option (make sure to book in advance) but be careful when walking there as it's a busy road with no clear footpath.

Great location with absolutely beautiful view from the bedroom and breakfast room. It was one of the best B&B I have ever stayed in. I loved meeting the owner. I believe his great spirit added much more to our stay. We will go back once we have the chance.

A truly exceptional experiance at the Appin Bay View provided by an exceptional host, Mike really understands hospatility and delivers it. The room was fantastic with a breathtaking view, two nights really didnt feel like enough. The breakfasts were delicous and substantional, I had the Asian breakfast and smoked salmon and scrambled eggs, both were excellent. My partner had the Scottish breakfast twice and declared it was the best bacon she has ever had. The location is brilliant, the view is amazing and the host is exceptional. We are already talking about when we can return.

AustraliaThere was nothing I didn’t like it about it.
We loved EVERYTHING about this property….the room itself was beautifully appointed with some lovely touches and a gorgeous view. The bed, pillows and linen was amazingly comfortable and luxurious - like a 5 star hotel!! The bathroom was massive and the shower itself was awesome with good water pressure and endless hot water. The dining room was beautiful too along with a delicious breakfast with some unique choices. Mike the owner is a standout host - the best by far….full of personality, very knowledgeable, and dare I say it - so loveable…wanted to take him home with me!

United StatesThis is probably one of the best views we’ve ever had from a room! The room itself was spacious, clean, and very comfortable, warm, and inviting. It was unseasonably cold (10C) for early July and the room felt very cozy. The host, Mike, is so friendly, worldly, and knowledgeable! A pleasure to chat with. The breakfasts were delicious and we loved some of the unique options. A great way to start the day and fuel up before hiking the coast or Highlands. We don’t often stay in B&Bs, but this place it truly special and we will definitely be back.
