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.).

Everything! A beautiful home in a calm, secluded area. From the moment we arrived, we felt at home here. A warm welcome from Colin, a delicious dinner of locally sourced and homemade food, a large room with so many nice touches, and a hearty breakfast (ohhh that whisky porridge!). Luxury without pretension. Perfect!

SwedenThe property is perfectly situated in the middle of whisky country. Our hosts Colin&Sarah were super accommodating with all our requests, advised us on tours not to be missed. Everything was spotless clean, beds super comfy, breakfasts just great. We dined there twice as well and were very satisfied. I would absolutely recommend this place and stay again.

NetherlandsUnfortunately we couldn’t stay another night, because all rooms were booked. We will come back next year!
The house is very comfortable, location is perfect. The bathrobes in the bathroom were a great touch. Shower was nice and strong. We were welcomed by Collin and unfortunately we were not able to have dinner at the location, however we were sent to a friend at the 1881 restaurant and that was very nice. Breakfast the next morning was delicious, with plenty of choices.

GreeceThere is nothing to not like about Cardhu Country House!
Every detail is thought and taken care of! We stayed with my family for one night during our roadtrip to Scotland. Starting with the location in the middle of the countryside, the house is beautiful and very stylishly decorated. The rooms are very spacious and the view of the countryside out of the windows very relaxing. They are impeccably clean with very comfortable beds and fresh smelling towels. Our breakfast was superb! Colin, the owner, was very accommodating and helpful. We will certainly recommend Cardhu Country House to our friends and we will return for a longer stay!

United KingdomNothing at all
The communication before we arrived was great. When we arrived the owner, Colin was there to greet us and to explain a few things about keys and breakfast. The building is impressive both outside and in. Built in the 1880s, used as a manse and then owned by a well-known family before the current owners' family acquired it. It is clear that there has been a lot of attention paid to this country house. The rooms are spacious and well decorated and furnished with lovely period furniture. It blends the old with the new in a magical way. The bedrooms are equally tasteful - large comfortable beds, fluffy pillows and crisp white linen. Tea and coffee making facilities with quality shortbread. Big windows with shuttering. It was wonderful. The bathroom was very well done. A huge walk in shower, a drench shower head, lovely shower gel and shampoo and plenty towels. Breakfast was beautifully done. Amongst our group we had the compote / yoghurt / granola to start and then various of us had scrambled eggs with smoked salmon, full Scottish breakfast and so on. Quality ingredients and very well presented. In the early evening we sat outside by the lawns and later on came in to the lounge. They do not sell alcohol but we were allowed to bring our own and Colin very kindly provided glassware and ice. This is a truly superb place to visit. I cannot wait to come again. Thank you.

Everything. Really Quiet, cosy. We felt we were friends with the owner Colin. For a non British couple, His English is perfectly understandable with no strong Scottish accent as it could be in this Scotland’s countryside. MUST GO if you visit the region
