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 StatesNot much to complain about. A little pricey but you get what you pay for. This was the rest and relaxation part of our busy visit to Scotland.
The property is beautiful and the staff is amazing. The beds are super comfortable and we loved bubble baths in the tub. Breakfast was yummy each day and our tea party was great! Can't wait to return once the renovations are complete. Would have loved a little gift shop to purchase a souvenir from our stay.

United StatesThat we had to leave! I’m sure they would accommodate a single night stay but for us three night nights was not nearly enough. There is so much to do in the area and a few days simply enjoying the property would be perfect.
Wonderful estate with tasteful period details. Themes of mystical Scotland. Yes, we as a family stayed in three of the rooms in the main house. All the rooms were spotless and clean, andwell appointed. The team of staff was well trained and very attentive. Breakfast was delicious each day. The location is just grand for exploring countryside. But, you can stay at the house and enjoy the property too The whole family enjoyed the alpaca trek

Absolutely speechless. It doesn't get any better than this! The world may as well end at sunset on the terrace. Endlessly beautiful. Apart from WiFi, the hotel completely dispenses with digital equipment in favour of relaxation. Rooms lovingly furnished down to the last detail. Staff attentive but not intrusive and super friendly. Hotel explained in detail at check-in. Perfect service and breakfast. Incredibly great!

We stayed in the 3 storey villa which is exceptional. Each room is very beautifully furnished in old traditional style. The bedrooms are spacious and beddings are luxurious. The library has a huge collection of whiskeys. Great choice for breakfast and the breakfast room is lovely. Our family of 5 fell in love with this property. It’s the most memorable stay in our entire trip.

GreeceStaying at Glencruitten House was like stepping into a fairy tale. The setting is magical—surrounded by peaceful nature, full of history, charm, and character. The house is beautifully preserved and feels both grand and cozy at the same time. . A special mention to the lovely girl at reception who was incredibly helpful and welcoming—she made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. Truly a hidden gem, and one we’ll remember fondly. Highly recommended!

United KingdomIt far exceeded our expectations! The grounds were gorgeous and the Wild Dinner in the woods was prepared by a chef who served the entire meal prepared on an outdoor fire. The cost was reasonable and the dinner was served in a century old stone hut lit entirely with candles!
Breakfast was great! Setting and rooms out of a movie gorgeous! Sayward our concierge was exceptional in every respect and we enjoyed role playing in their first mystery dinner. Dinner was elegant and Paul and his wife, owners, deserve a round of applause for their warmth and hospitality!
