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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 KingdomThere was nothing to dislike about Urquhart Bay B&B , but from about 07:00 you can hear the traffic, it didn’t matter to us as we are usually awake at that time .
Fantastic location, Annie and Simon are great hosts , lovely bedroom with tea and coffee facilities along with a slice of home made cake , bath room is large with a bath and double shower all very modern and spotlessly clean . The view from the bedroom is of Loch Ness which is just wonderful, breakfast is fantastic. During our time in Scotland we stayed at 3 different B&Bs all around the same price but Urquhart Bay stood out as the best . Would recommend to anyone .

AustraliaNothing, it was absolutely perfect!
This was a stunning romantic retreat, situated across from the Loch with a beautiful view from the bedroom window! The room was cozy, spotless and spacious with personal touches throughout including mince pies, a coffee maker and milk. The bathroom was large with a claw bath, with so much space for toiletries. The property itself was gorgeous, with a cozy lounge space and a path along the back leading to a perfect view of Urquhart castle. Simon our host was friendly, welcoming and helpful. The breakfast was fabulous- fresh and generous - full English offered alongside an array of continental options. You can tell that a lot of heart and attention to detail goes into this properly by the hosts and it made for a perfect stay! Would 100% come again!

United StatesIf I tried I couldn't find a critique of our experience, except for not having the insight to spend two nights rather than just the one.
Being in the hospitality business, we immediately knew, on arrival, that we were in for a memorable experience! The location is convenient, beautifully appointed with a very comfortable room, well equipped bathroom and a very delicious breakfast. Our host directed us to a wonderful walk on the hills overlooking the Loch and Urquhart Castle. They also pointed us to a great dinner in the very nearby village. It was every bit the dream we envisioned when we reserved the property and I highly recommend travelers avail themselves of the great opportunity to spend some time at Urquhart Bay

ItalyOur staying at Urquhart Bay B&B was super pleasant. The location is amazing, with a wonderful view on the lake and, of course, closed to Urquhart Castle. The B&B is managed with a heart-felt passion by Annie and Simon, indeed two beautiful souls - they make you feel at home. Everything, from the breakfast room to the garden, from the common room to the bedrooms is furnished with taste and an incredible attention to details. The breakfast was rich and fresh, and I loved the chance to have a really nice and friendly chat with Simon during it. A must stay while visiting Loch Ness.
