How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewBlarcreeen is a place of peace. It is not just an accommodation, it was kind of our home for those days. Deidre and David were extremely social, helpful and kind, which made our stay even more special. We have never experienced such a warm welcome anywhere else. I do not know if it is needed to talk about breakfast itself, because obviously it was not just the food, but the surroundings that made it so perfect - looking at the sheeps at the yard and enjoying the lovely room, just magical. And if you fancy, they can organise a fantastic dinner for you that you even can spend with some of the other guests if you are keen on making some nice, new friends. We encourage everyone who stays at Blarcreen to slow down and stay there a bit, read in the living room and enjoy the crackling wood in the fireplace or just walk down to the pond, because this is what we think Scotland and a holiday is really about. Just skip some of your "must see's" and just enjoy yourselves. :) Thanks again, we go back next time without any doubt!
I tried hard to write anything negative, but I just simply cannot. :)

Verified reviewWe traveled Scotland for 17 days and stayed here for 3 nights. It was my favorite place. Beautiful setting, stellar service, great breakfasts and extremely nice hosts. Excellent in every way.
I liked it all. For those who can't climb stairs, the 2nd story bedrooms might be harder to get to. And it is out in the country side.

Verified reviewThe house is a true jewel nestled in the beautiful Argyll countryside, offering stunning views of nearby Loch Etive and surrounding fields, where sheep graze peacefully and wild deer sometimes make an appearance. There are four beautifully furnished bedrooms, each more charming than the last, along with a cozy dining area where a delicious, home-cooked breakfast is served. The inviting living room is perfect for relaxing with a good book, playing board games, or having lovely conversations with the host and other guests. The area around the house is ideal for leisurely walks, with opportunities to spot wildlife, take refreshing swims in the loch, or enjoy short hikes along picturesque rivers. The host is a wonderful and attentive woman who goes above and beyond to ensure guests have everything they need, adding thoughtful touches and amenities that make the stay truly special.
It’s difficult to find anything negative to say about my stay. If I had to mention one thing, it would be the Wi-Fi speed, which could sometimes not be the fastest. However, it’s comparable to what you might expect in most homes and does not impact the experience.
