Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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 KingdomThe location is stunning, lovely rolling hills and a view over the sea. Portpatrick is a very nice old fishing village, great place to eat and drink. Visits to Wigtown, Isle of Whithorn. Logan Botanical Gardens and the coast around Port William all well worth doing.

AustraliaUnfortunately we were in the real cabins with two brown cabins in the front, which meant looking at two brown walls if we sat on the verandah also one on either side of us VERY limited sea or rural views
The interna layout was really nice, the kitchen had all you need for a good holiday, and the area was lovely

Fabulous location, the lodge was equipped with everything we needed. The hosts are both friendly and welcoming, the recommended coastal path into the beautiful harbour village of Portpatrick was definitely worth the walk. Thank you, Ian and Kay, for our wonderful stay

United KingdomNothing . Worth considering, it's a few miles out of town so it would be difficult to manage without a car.
Everything . In particular, the hosts, Ian and Kay, are incredibly accommodating and make themselves readily available for all your needs. No mean feat, considering they're running a farm ( in lambing season no less ) and working pretty much 24/7. Also, their farm produce is fresh and great quality. Well worth buying for a change from supermarket stuff and it helps to support Ian and Kay.

United KingdomIt was clean and tidy, with all the requirements we needed, with a beautiful view. We met Kay who was lovely. The dog area was an added bonus and right next to the lodge we stayed in. It just gave Merlin that extra free run that you don't always get elsewhere. When it was that little bit chilly at night the heating system worked a treat and the lodge warmed up in no time, easy to use the boiler too. Really can't fault the shower, it was clean, lovely and warm, powerful too.We loved how you could park next to the lodge and was able to walk through the fields were the sheep/lambs grazed. We definitely saw some funny little characters in there. All in all a lovely stay, would definitely book there again.
