Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 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...).

United KingdomWould like less of the single use toiletries and maybe just refillable dispensers in the bathroom. The check in process could have been simplified for speed. We had to name every item we wanted for breakfast and the person at check in wasn't exactly the quickest at writing it down!
Great location right in the centre of Rothesay. Comfy and clean room with great views over the gardens and the firth of Clyde. Helpful and friendly staff.

SwitzerlandAs charming as it is, being an old wooden structure, the hotel has its quirks, such as the persistent squeak of the floorboards, which can be particularly noticeable at night. However, the hosts more than make up for any minor inconveniences with their warm hospitality and eagerness to please. While the exterior could benefit from a fresh coat of paint, the interior is well maintained, providing a cozy and inviting atmosphere. Overall, the Victoria Hotel provides a wonderful base to enjoy the stunning locale, and despite a few niggles, it's a place I'd recommend for its character and exceptional location.
The Victoria Hotel on the Isle of Bute offers a prime location with its breathtaking marina and ocean views, especially from the lounge dining area where you can truly appreciate the beauty of the surroundings. Our room was on the 2nd floor; do note that the hotel does not have a lift, which wasn't a problem for us but might be worth considering for those with mobility issues.

United KingdomI would have liked more non-cooked options for breakfast e.g. fruit and yoghourt. As others have remarked, the hotel looks a little scruffy from the outside. Inside it is in very good shape, however.
We went to Bute to walk the West Island Way and this hotel is very convenient for that, being 2 minutes walk from the ferry terminal, the bus station (for buses to the start points of different sections of the walk) and a co-op (for food for packed lunches). Our bedroom was very comfortable and clean, with a large bathroom and excellent shower. We had a fantastic view over the bay (see attached photo) and could watch the ferries arriving, impressively lit up at night. Breakfast was fine, well cooked and presented. We also had dinner one night in the hotel; the food was good and reasonably priced and the menu had a wide range of options.
