How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

The bathroom could have done with an update. And the grounds and carpark could have been a little bit better maintained apart from that it was great.
The staff were great. Room was comfortable. bed was fabulous. Dogs were made really welcome. And for all of us that’s really important to us.

The gardens needed attention. The room wasn't serviced- a minor problem for our 2 night stay.
Breakfast was excellent, though not included in the price. Location was good. Helpful and friendly staff who are coping with tradespeople problems. A lot of the work is done by the owners.

The ongoing renovations mean a lot of the hotel is not available and from the outside looks really run down and tired. Once inside the experience is much brighter and positive. Super rooms, super quiet, super friendly hosts.
Very quiet and peaceful location. Super friendly staff. Much of the hotel is being renovated but our rooms and the dining area/ lounge were excellent.

The room was lovely. Bright, tastefulky decorated with large bathroom. We had two windows overlooking garden which we'd specifically asked for. Sadly there wasnt anywhere for us to sit in the room other than the bed. The rest of the hotel felt somewhat jaded, as did Carradale town itself. Everything seemed closed and depressed. Staff were friendly and eager to please. Ordering meals in advance is understandable byt a bit annoying, but we were made clear about this prior to arriving. The external of hotel does not make it inviting. As we approached we wondered if in fact it had closed down! The golf course beside hotel is lovely and lots of great countryside and beaches. But nit a huge amount to do of an evening in Carradale!

The hot water was not on a ring main, so you have to wait ages for hot water at the tap in the bathroom. This is a common issue in older buildings that have not had a major upgrade to their plumbing.
We did our own breakfast but had a couple of meals at the hotel. Easy come and go. Home from home atmosphere.

The Ladies who run this hotel are lovely, nothing at all is a bother and they make you feel very welcome. The food, which is homemade is nothing short of delicious. Comfy bed, lovely view, we stayed in Jura. Carradale is a bit off the beaten track but worth it, the Bay is gorgeous. Would love to return again.
