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 KingdomStunning location & views! Wonderfully welcoming hosts. The property is beautiful. This was my second time staying here as I enjoyed my first visit so much (second time just as good!). The bedroom/ensuite bathroom is lovely with thoughtful touches and possibly the best views in Strathpeffer valley :)

United KingdomI did get slightly lost while trying to find it however the it seemed that the number the host had sent directions to was wrong and this was not their fault.
I stayed one night at Eldon Lea while travelling for work. It was snowing when I got there but the accommodation was warm and cosy inside. The bed was very comfy, the room was clean and if I was in the area again I would stay there again or recommend to others.

NetherlandsNo breakfast served but there were instant porridge cups in the room which were a good start and the Village of Strathpeffer nearby holds enough places for breakfast and lunch.
We had a great stay at Eldon Lea. Both the room and the location were perfect, on a 5 mins walk to Strathpeffer village. We went to see the nearby Rogie Falls were the salmons made their way up the river, fascinating to watch! The hosts have been very kind too so all together we would definitely recommend this place.

United KingdomThis was a great find, we were looking for something in Dingwall as we had a wedding to attend, and this came up. The owners go above and beyond any accommodation I've ever been to, and I'm very well travelled. The village has so much going on, coffee shops, beer gardens, museum and much more. The highlight for us, was finding out that the old railway line has been turned into a walking/cycle path to Dingwall, albeit for a short stretch which is still easy enough to walk on, giving us the option to leave the car and walk back for it in the morning.
