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.).

New ZealandRooms needed attention, and the standard of cleanliness was very average... whilst we'll presented and containing everything you needed, there was dead and squashed insects everywhere, cobwebs etc. Staff were very busy so attentiveness and helpfulness was intermittent.

United KingdomThe main issue we experienced was that our family room was very hot, even with the window open. The room would benefit from air conditioning or fans. My wife did not sleep well as a result.
The staff were friendly, attentive, and helpful despite being very busy. The breakfast was excellent with many interesting options. The room was spacious, with an excellent shower and TV. It was an easy walk to Loch Lomond and Balloch Castle.

United KingdomFood was OK, but nothing special. Not the best quality ingredients. A few areas are looking a bit tired e.g chipped paint and furniture.
Fantastic location with great walks nearby and local attractions. Bedroom was a good size, comfortable and a good view of the river and bridge. Place was clean and styled nicely.

United KingdomThe staff in the restaurant were rushed off their feet. They had a tough Wednesday night, and they could have done with another couple of bodies, especially as they had a birthday party going on in one of the private rooms. I also hope they are paid well; they probably aren't, but they should be.
Great staff. Good food. Stunning location. Big room.

United KingdomThe breakfast was cooked to order and was absolutely fantastic. The room was nice enough but the toilet was a bit tired, paint peeling off the ceiling etc. We looked on to the church at the back and there was significant noise from something during the night. We did have the window open as it was very hot. Staff were pleasant and helpful.

United KingdomI was very disappointed with the room we were allocated even though we booked six months in advance asking for a room with a view.We were given a room with two windows,one was looking out onto three very large commercial bins and the other looked out into the yard where the empty beer barrels were stored,we had the noise from the drayman doing their deliveries and picking empties in the morning as well,luckily we were up early as this would have woken us.I understand that not all rooms have a view but this room must have worst views in hotel,not what I was looking forward to.
The room was decorated nicely ,clean and a good size also comfortable bed.Dinner was excellent at hotel as was breakfast.Room quiet at night.Staff friendly.Hotel in a good position for walks along to Loch Lomand.
