Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 KingdomOne small item that might be worth considering is a shower mat on the floor outside the cubicle? The floor being laminate can become a little slippery when wet even a rubber suckered type bath mat might serve well, and be virtually maintenance free. The other odd situation was that the occupants of a neighbouring caravan, had the TV or Radio on pretty loudly all night each night !! I'm not sure why but as they had a couple of dogs, we wondered whether this was a distraction technique, as I am aware that some dogs don't settle too well in unfamiliar surroundings and many different ploys are used to overcome this!! We've never encountered this issue previously, so have put it down as a one off!!
Having stayed here a number of times before, over the last few years we knew what to expect and our regular return, would I believe show our appreciation for Barnkirk as a base for us.

A clean comfortable park home which was warm, clean, had a nice power shower and lovely views over open countryside. Also nice and quiet. There were only 3 park homes on site and it felt relaxed and informal. in a lovely location with easy access to some terrific parts of Dumfriesshire.

United KingdomThe caravan was a bit tired and could do with a bit of a refurbishment. It smelt musty when we first arrived, and some of the cooking utensils and pans are past their best.
Great peaceful location. It was very warm, the bed was comfortable, and the shower was excellent. The couple who owned and ran it were friendly and helpful during our stay

United KingdomOnly one think the smell wasn't pleasant in the caravan and we think it was coming from the double bedroom. I think the previous people must of had a dog and it's left a bad smell behind but went to the local shops and got some spray to mask the smell but apart from that ten out of ten.
Quite location friendly people excellent for the price
