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 KingdomBathroom outdated, no towel rail and shower cubicle on the small side. Fortunately, we are not persons of size, but if you are you may have trouble fitting in Also, there was a persistent droning sound from outside the room. Definitely not AC although it sounded like it. Very intrusive.
Central location, near train station and bars and restaurants. Comfortable twin beds, tea/coffee and milk supplied.

Chloe was incredibly helpful from the moment we arrived, providing us with a map and highlighting key sites and restaurants. We had the family room which was really large and provided a living room space and kitchen. This was incredibly welcome with the opportunity to wash a few clothes. Upon leaving, Chloe noticed that I had left my Mac charger and kindly posted this home to me with no charge which was going on and above as a good host.

United KingdomIn room 9, the bathroom fan makes a screeching noise every time it is turned on. In the beginning it scared the living soul out of me in the morning, as I thought an alarm was going off.
Chloe was very responsive and very welcoming. She was a delight to speak with. The guest house location is also superb, right next to the cruise meeting point. We booked the room with the hot tub and it was enjoyable and peaceful.

United StatesThe room could have been a touch cleaner, around the beds you could tell it had just been a quick sweep through. Beds moved quite a bit as well and could maybe use a wheel lock or something.
The lady who owns the guest house and set us up was absolutely wonderful!! I booked this room for my friend and I while we hiked around the area. We enjoyed our stay very much and our room was more than enough for us. The room didn’t have a fridge, but she was super flexible and was able to let us store a few groceries in her personal fridge until we left!

NetherlandsI'm really nitpicking here, our stay was wonderful. The curtains let through quite a bit of light in the mornings, so would recommend travellers who are sensitive to light to bring a sleeping mask.
Chloe was incredibly friendly and told us a lot about the area. The guesthouse is located right in the centre of Balloch, which was very convenient. The room was clean and had everything we needed.

United KingdomThe water pressure in the shower wasn’t great. The shower tray was quite slippy. Shower curtain had some mould on it. Sometimes the bathroom had a funny smell. I was conscious about making too much noise due to other reviews saying the walls were paper thin. I can’t say we heard anyone else but it was always in the back of my mind not to talk too loudly. As some other reviews say, the room could use a bit of TLC.
Location is great. Just across the street from the train station. There is a restaurant next door and others in very close proximity. Self check in was easy. The hot tub was a great addition. The patio area is fenced off and private. The hot tub was for our sole use. Plenty towels supplied. Plenty hot water from shower. After reading some reviews, I thought the room was going to be tiny. It’s on the smaller side but there is still room to open suitcases on the floor and move about. TV had Netflix. I had to message Chloe a couple of times and always got a prompt reply
