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 StatesWe have no critiques - everything was wonderful.
This was the best property we stayed in in all of Scotland! Very cozy and updated inside while having the rustic lodge feel on the outside. Access to kayaks and a dock was wonderful, and Darren was an incredible host! He answered all of our questions and was available for anything we needed, including recommendations for stops along our road trip both ways!

Beautiful location directly on Loch Lomond! Ability to cook our own meals, but also very good food at the restaurant in the adjacent hotel (available for lunch and dinner for non-hotel guests). Ferry from the marina across the loch to the Highland Way hiking trail. Very quiet and relaxing. Accessible by train!

United KingdomCouldn’t fault the property as it was looked after well. Only issue I would say is the outside light on the balcony needs to be fixed as the light would come on then after a few mins it would turn off with is sat outside.
The property had its own private car space, access to kayaks and personal Balcony as well as Jetty.

United KingdomLocation is wonderful as it's right on the Loch. Darren was so knowledgeable about the area and made some great suggestions of where to go kayaking and hiking and also best places to eat locally (Cu Mara bistro was a top recommendation as the food was delicious and the restaurant staff were very friendly and welcoming).. The accommodation was spotlessly clean, well equipped and with very comfortable beds too. We will definitely be back to visit again.

IndiaThis is an excellent place with every facility that one might need when on a vacation and no doubt this is the best one we ever stayed. It's easily accessible, just a few mins walk from the train station. The kitchen is well equipped with all the necessary items, the house has beach front and kayaks - we just loved it. Darren is very helpful and he is a great host. He helped us with all the information we needed around the place. Couldn't wait to come back here again. Thank you!
