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 use a weighted review system which means that 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 KingdomProbably the distance from the town centre, but it was only less than 10minute taxi ride, and you need to call a taxi company to pick you up ahead of time, but there are a lot of taxi companies that you can contact anytime. it wasn't a big issue at all. If you have a car it won't be a problem.
Our main purpose was to hike Ben Nevis, and the hotel was just right at the base of the starting point of the hike. Breakfast was really lovely, everything was set right on the table for you, all you need is to wake up and sit on your table. The lawn/garden was just few steps to the river bank, spectacular view of the mountains as well. And the cherry on top were the lovely couple who owned the hotel, very accommodating!

United KingdomIt was like a perfect dream! Heather and Scot were so lovely and welcoming! They went above and beyond to make sure I had a great time even though I was staying just for one night! The room was so cozy and clean. Fort William is such an incredible place and staying at the Achintee Farm is an absolutely must. Hopefully I’ll be able to come back one day. Wish my stay was much longer. Also to add - Ben Nevis Inn is a great place to get dinner if you are staying at the farm. Lovely food! Thank you again for everything and wish you all the best!

LithuaniaThis is a perfect location if you're planning to hike Ben Nevis, as the trailhead is just a few hundred meters away. The surroundings are full of nature, birdsong, and breathtaking views of the mountains. And we were warmly welcomed by a kind and thoughtful couple who made our stay very pleasant. They were always ready to help and made us feel comfortable from the very beginning. If we ever return to this area, we would absolutely love to stay here again. Thank you so much for your kindness and all your help!

Scot's home and his hospitality are simply perfect. The room is spacious, warm, beatiful. The bathroom is really huge and there's everything you could need, soft towels, shampoo, shower gel, hand soap... Both the room and the bathroom are extremely clean. For breakfast there's a lot of choice, and is very good. Scot is really nice, talkative and ready to give very good advice. An interesting experience!

FranceThe hotel where we stayed during our road trip in Scotland was undoubtedly the most beautiful place. Firstly, the hotel had a homely atmosphere, was comfortable, quiet, and clean. The rooms were quite spacious and comfortable. We spent three wonderful days with a magnificent view from our room's window. It was a place where we could say we wished we could have stayed longer. And of course, Scot was very friendly, witty, and always ready to help. We had great communication, and he gave us many great recommendations for the area. Besides the pleasure of staying at the hotel, being Scot's guest made us very happy. We thank him very much for these wonderful three days. As we look back on our trip to Scotland, Scot will always hold a special place in our memories!

United StatesHaving to say goodbye to Scot and Achintee Farm.
Meeting the host, Scot, and staying at Achintee Farm was by far one of our most favorite memories in Scotland. I cannot speak highly enough of the hospitality! Scot was the wittiest, warmest, nicest person we have had the pleasure of meeting and made us laugh in every interaction. The place itself is incredibly charming. Our bedroom window overlooked grazing sheep and the mountains and the room was cozy, clean, spacious, and overall perfect. The breakfast in the morning was delicious, we both had the eggs with salmon and toast with jam. We didn't want to leave!
