We perform checks on reviews.
Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.

When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.

Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Excellent warm, cozy and modern villa very clean, would suit anyone for a short or longer stay, near Kirkwall town centre, priced very reasonably for the high standard of fixtures and furnishings looking forward to booking my next stay!

Craigiefield

A home from home. Spacious well maintained, clean and everything provided. Well connected for getting around Orkney, with lovely views of the harbour. Quiet property but close to amenities. Really comfortable bed and nice linen.

Good quality quiet retreat.

The accommodation was of very good quality. The bathroom was spacious and the bed comfortable. The lounge/kitchen was bright and well equipped. It was a very quiet place to stay and a short walk into Kirkwall. It was lovely that the hosts offer to pick you up from the ferry/airport - which makes it very easy. Lots of information, maps and timetables were left for our convenience. A great base to explore the island.

Orkney Villas

Excellent accommodation just minutes from Kirkwall centre . The flat has everything you would need and more and all of a very high standard. The perfect place to return to after a busy day exploring Orkney.

Quivals was lovely

We had a relaxing week on Sanday and it was lovely to come home to Quivals each day after exploring the island. The property had everything we needed and more. We loved sitting in the sunroom in the evening looking out over Otterswick Bay.

Orkney Villas

The place is nice and comfortable with good condition. But there was no 4G / 3G signals inside the house, meaning that you have to get out to the street to make a call (though internet calls could be possible). We provided the feed back to the property management people for follow up during our visit.

Excellent

A thoroughly comfortable and excellent apartment was The Courtyard. A quiet location but convenient for Kirkwall. All you need for a memorable stay on Orkney. An easy 15 minute walk into Town or a 3 minute drive to the ferry to visit other islands.
