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 KingdomAll of it, property was clean, well equipped and comfortable. Viv and Martin were friendly and helpful and went out of their way to help. Plenty of parking on site, situated out in the country but close to Stranraer for shopping etc. Instructions given to us for finding the property were detailed and accurate making sure we found it without problems.

United KingdomNothing to dislike, everything was spot on.
The cottage was simply perfect. Clean, comfortable, spacious and fully equipped with everything you could need. The area itself was nice and peaceful, and just what we were looking for. Martin was extremely friendly and welcoming, he cleaned and bleached the climbing frame, swings and slide for our daughter, and allowed her to give Harvey his treats. Myself, my wife and our 9 year old daughter had a great time visiting various places around the area, I would highly recommend Stranraer for a peaceful break, and would whole heartedly recommend Crailloch Croft Cottages. I would book again without any hesitation. Definitely 10 out of 10.

United KingdomThe only problem was the wifi and mobile phone signal. The hosts tried to sort us out, but even then I only got a very weak wifi signal in one corner of the living room and it was very intermittent. There was no network for Three customers so the phone could only be used away from the house.
The cottage was in a beautiful, tranquil location and well positioned to visit places of interest such as Logan Botanic Gardens, Castle Kennedy Gardens, the Mull of Galloway with its fabulous cliffs and lighthouse and local coastal villages like Portpatrick. It was also a very easy journey into the Forest of Galloway and the Galloway mountains and Loch Trool. The cottage was spotless and extremely well equipped and the hosts were friendly and helpful.

United KingdomWhen looking out the cottage window 2/3 of the window had a view over looking the hills but 1/3 looked on to a brick wall . When you stepped out the door you were right on to the wall and the other two cottages would have to pass your window so felt I had to keep the blinds drawn over as when they came out stable cottage they had to walk directly to elm cottage and cross the stairs right outside our door which were loose and noisy. Although it wasn't a big problem for us as we were the only ones there from the Saturday until the Thursday so only a couple of days we had to share the doorsteps. Wouldn't put me off using the cottage again but some people might not like it everyone passing there window. The shower was very small if you were bigger than 16/18 think it would be a bit of a struggle to use it comfortably.
Was comfortable , clean and well stocked.
