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.).

South KoreaNothing. Perfect.
When you enter the B&B, they greet you kindly. The breakfast is not only delicious but also tremendous in volume. We also provide additional food if you want. They serve a glass of whiskey with the meal, which is very refreshing. The room is also clean. I have never seen accommodation with such clean facilities. It even made me want to visit Islay again because of this B&B.

United KingdomVery warm welcome from Andrew. Location was perfect for me due to having to commute for work purposes through out the Island. The room was very clean, tidy and cosy. The cooked breakfast was 10/10, just what was needed for a busy day ahead of me.

IrelandWe liked everything at the property, could not fault anything.
Location was excellent. Room was a great size, clean and very comfortable. There was a mini bar service that was very convenient and you can help yourself to the items and then pay later! The breakfast was lovely and plenty of options too, the dram Andrew offers with the breakfast is a great wake up call also!!

United KingdomBit harsh I'm afraid, maybe a one off, but the breakfast was a bit of a let down, solid crunchy inedible bacon, over 'creamy' scrambled eggs, everything else lukewarm, disappointing as it took the shine from the overall experience.
Clean, covid measures in place, comfortable bed, spacious room, spacious bathroom, plenty of towels, fridge with milk for the cereal in the room and extras (orange / apple juice etc.) ,did I say clean...hosts great (albeit socially distanced). I would recommend, and would stay again.

United KingdomThe breakfast portions were too large and there was not sufficient variety. I would have preferred a fruit and yoghurt option. Wrapping hot toast in tin foil makes the toast soggy
The location was fine and the outlook could not be better

United KingdomThere is absolutely nothing to dislike.
The Bowmore House is in an elevated position just a short distance from the village centre, with great views over the harbour and out over the loch. The house is spacious and airy with lovely large rooms. There is a safe, private car park. We were very fortunate and were upgraded to the Harbour View room, which had stunning views. In most hotels the room would be called a junior suite - with a large bed, seating area and table and chairs. The bathroom was large and gave great privacy. All fittings were good quality, the decoration was immaculate and everything was super clean. Each morning we had a delicious breakfast delivered to our room - totally COVID safe. Each room has a fridge with milk and juice etc for breakfast. The hosts kindly added other items to cater to my particular dietary needs. Andrew and Alison are excellent, friendly and generous hosts who made our stay really wonderful. I cannot recommend highly enough.
