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 KingdomAt check in they hadnt informed us that the hot tub had been emptied and wouldnt be anywhere near warm at time of arrival. I knew it wouldnt be at temperature but it was stone cold. Wasnt until the maintenance man came round following day to explain that due to the recent storm it had to be emptied. Would have been nice to have been informed of this. Stayed for 2 nights but only got to use the hot tub second night which was disappointing

United KingdomThe toilet flusher button in the main bathroom is a bit difficult to push. The main light is flickering in 2nd twin bedroom, just used beside light.
We stayed in Glen Shee..loved the house, view from the balcony, the wildlife, fish that jumped into the air in the ponds, the swans with the 6 cygnets, beautiful walks, My son, and his brother celebrated his birthday on the golf course, then they played again the next day. The restaurant served stunning, delicious food, and it was great that our dog could sit with us on open decking overlooking the lake. Very hard to leave there this morning after such a lovely relaxing 3 night stay. Thank you to all the amazing friendly, helpful staff...oh and the fresh sourdough bread, salted butter and Isle of Arran cheese your shop provided... fabulous xx

United KingdomBalconies could do with a wash and hose down as loads of spider webs . No brush available to sweep all the leaves off the balcony. Although balcony was great , trees blocked our view of the loch and the sunrise/sunset. Other lodges didn’t have that obstruction, could do with cutting back the height of trees directly in front of Glen Finlet lodge.
Lovely communal area with balcony . The comfortable couches and large table in the lounge and kitchen area . Nice and quiet . Loved the hot tub and the short walk across to the restaurant. Loved the walks and grounds and garden areas well maintained. Hot tub checked every morning by staff. Great place for a group holiday or families for fishing and golf and able to bring dogs with you too

United KingdomWe paid extra for having our dog (normal I suppose for extra cleaning) but there wasn’t even a dog bowl for water. The garden space outside also had gaps at the bottom of the fence where our dog would go exploring so it wasn’t secure enough.
The compact shepherd's hut was well designed and comfortable. Activities on offer were excellent, including golf and fishing. Very peaceful and private. The service from staff in the bar and restaurant was superb, very attentive and professional.

United KingdomThe hotel tub was set at 15 degrees on arrival and we had to turn it up ourselves so it was too cold to use for the first night of our stay. Although the cabin sleeps 4 people it is quite small and only really has inside seating for 2. It would be fine for a small family but not ideal for 4 adults.
Great stay in bankside bothy. Lovely wee pet friendly cabin with a good sized secure garden. The cabin was very comfortable, great beds and a nice comfy sofa. The bathroom was a decent size and the shower was good. The hotel tub was amazing once it was hot enough to use. The Forbes of kingennie resort is beautiful with great facilities.

United KingdomIf we had to mention one small thing, the kitchen could’ve used a few more serving bowls and plates, but it didn’t take away from the overall experience.
A fantastic family getaway! The cabin was spacious, spotless, and offered breathtaking views. The location itself is stunning—an ideal setting for a peaceful holiday with loved ones. We especially enjoyed relaxing in the bar area and had a great time at the quiz night. Plus, it’s one of the most dog-friendly places we’ve ever stayed, which made the experience even more enjoyable.

United KingdomThe maintenance man came out and just came to our bothy without knocking on our door to say he was checking our hot tub on the first day. The second day we had to check out by 10am so we went in the hot tub from 8-9am. As we got out the maintenance man just entered our area and started cleaning out the hot tub with pipes everywhere and therefore we couldn’t sit outside and have our morning coffee as we nearly tripped over the pipes. I phoned down to complain and the manager stated he would talk to me when I went to hand in the keys. When I arrived there was a young girl on the desk who was very pleasant and the manager had disappeared so she found another manager who apologised. Stated he was sorry and we could have a complimentary breakfast and a free night stay to say sorry but I have had no email to offer this. As we were sitting with our breakfast the maintenance man came to the reception so there was no great rush to get the hot tub done. It spoiled what should have been a nice relaxing time away instead we were rushed out. Disappointed
It was clean, comfortable and close to amenities. Hot tub was clean and everything was supplied

United KingdomThe hot tub was still cold when we checked in because it’s emptied and cleaned thoroughly, but it meant we couldn’t use it until 10pm at night, then you aren’t allowed to use it on the morning you leave because it’s emptied and cleaned for the next person early. It meant that we only got to use it for a short time and very late at night. As I said though, double edge sword as it was great as it was so clean but didn’t get that much use as was at a wedding during the day.
Clean, good amenities, lovely location, private. A double edged sword for this one - hot tub was very clean and not hugely chlorinated - most likely due to them cleaning it so regularly.

United KingdomI feel like the 4pm check in is too late especially when the check out is 10am. If you go for a 2 night stay you are technically only getting 1.5 days instead of 2. Also the lodge I stayed in did not have an oven.....i ended up buying an air fryer the next day so we could cook nibbles. That's the only 2 negatives I have.
The surroundings are beautiful and the bankside lodge is comfortable and fully equipped with everything you need.
