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 KingdomAll’s well except perhaps better cooking facilities.
Port Nan Gael Pods are super ably located with stunning views over The Loch, It was our first experience of staying in a Pod , so we were not sure what to expect. All is relatively new and in good condition. There is a good restaurant and pub at the site and a well stocked shop. If I were designing the lay out for the pod , I would specify at least a hob for cooking, the only kitchen facility’s are a microwave, a toaster and a fridge.

This was a last-minute booking due to a fault with my tent. The facilities were excellent, and the view was brilliant.

CanadaThis is hard to say, it really was great. Two small things maybe? One would be a little more light on the footpath... I arrived after dark, and everything made sense to collect the keys and get to my pod, but then when I went back to the carpark and walked back, I wasn't 100% sure here to walk. Easily figured out in the morning though. And I would love a latch on the bathroom door. It can slide open if you don't pull it all the way closed. And while it didn't bother me, I think someone might like a way to darken the room. They supply eye masks because the open end is a giant window with wonderful views, but it does mean you're going to get light in when it's light out. I know some folks who would find this an issue, and so some option to black it out might be welcome. Nothing here diminished my experience though, just trying to think of some small things.
My pod experience was amazing. The design of them is really well considered and thought out. And you really can't beat the views out onto the water. The communication was great, and I felt really well considered even though I realize I didn't interact with anyone to check in or out (but did eat at the Inn and used the shop for snacks). It was a really special place even with the rain, a delayed Ferry ride, and coming in the dark. I want to return and stay longer!

United KingdomNot much really.... The weather was a bit grim... But hey that's just Scotland in the summer... And it did mean low midge index.... Not much the campsite can do about that
Wonderful location looking out on to the water and mountains.... Really well equipped pod and a good standard of construction... It's a comfort to sit and watch the storms roll in whilst staying warm and dry with a cup of tea in hand. The kids will love the separate bunk space and the pull down bed in the main area is a great utilization of space.. The nearby pub and shop and laundry are a welcome addition to the site... Do book ahead if you plan dinner at the pub.... Food is very good and comforting portions

United KingdomTo be expected, but they are a bit of a squeeze when making food or washing up. Also had to pay extra for the bedding in the bunk bed, which feels slightly unnecessary.
Nice little set up. Pods were clean, comfortable and very weather resistant, especially considering the stormy conditions when we were there. Scenery was also incredible from the pod.
