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 KingdomThe mattress on the bed looked and felt a bit old and worn out, a topper or new mattress would make the bed more comfortable.
Excellent place to stay for Etape Caledonia - the room and facilities were clean, would definitely recommend, and stay there again.

DenmarkI wish all youth hostels in Scotland would do a little more for privacy. Fx add curtains to each bed.
The location was absolutely beautiful. Located on a hill with views of Pitlochry and the surrounding highlands. The staff were polite and helpful.

United KingdomThe internet didn't seem to be working as we couldn't even find it in the network list to add. Hostel only opens at 4.30pm to check in and it would have been nice to even just be able to sit in the communal area beforehand.
Room was comfortable with good pillows and duvets. Clean and inviting. Easy to access once reception closed. Great selection of free tea and coffee in kitchen. Not too far from the main street with good parking onsite.

United KingdomRoom I was staying in had a very small bathroom with terrible ventilation, so the bathroom and by extension room were quite damp. What's worse, there seemed to be a slight leek coming in during the night when it was raining heavily (not new leak based on the various loose wallpaper parts)
Good budget stay. Close to main street (as most places in Pitlochry are). Generally clean in areas I accessed.

United KingdomThe hostel is a wee bit out of the main road, up a wee hill. Nothing crazy, but at the end of a tiring day, it can be a pain! Haha Walls are a bit thin, but that isn't surprising for hostels Apart from that, nothing!
Very pretty building with a nice view of pitlochry The staff were nice and friendly, I was able to leave my bag pre check-in which was practical for a day of hiking The kitchen was very big and practical, the staff even left some free fruits from the garden, as well as tea and coffee Single room was a nice size, with a good bathroom
