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.).

Verified reviewHotel was clean
Where to start.. no water pressure at all out of taps & zero hot water. Hotel room was very dated to say the least, advertised as a sea view room which technically is correct but I’ve saw bigger windows on easyJet! Bathroom had shower rail hanging off wall. Staff albeit friendly had trouble with communication. Food in hotel restaurant was well below average, complained about the mains and waiter just smiled and walked away. Would not recommend or stay again.

Verified reviewGreat room and bathroom was excellent. Large shower and decent water pressure. Bed was comfortable. Evening meal was fine and breakfast also very good. Plenty parking. Great value.
Appears (visually) rather old and worn but actually a very comfortable stay so nothing to dislike at all

Verified reviewAlthough the place does look a bit tired from the outside they have upgraded the rooms. There was a wee bit mold in the shower cubicle but it wasn't too bad. Couldn't fault the breakfast as it was lovely. Will definitely be back.

Verified reviewthe bath in the window with a view was excellent
some of the restaurant staff could not understand english. the food was very average. the hot water in the room took a long time to come through (longer than 5 mins). the mattress on the bed was far from comfortable and squashed down as soon as you sat on it. the whole place had an air of neglect about it and was very tired looking. a great shame as this place has great potential

Verified reviewBeautiful lochside location, lochside views from very large spacious bedroom, comfortable beds, quality decor, curtains & linen, carpets spotless, however skirting boards need cleaning & front of hotel needs weeding! Free Parking, Delish food in restaurant - however could do with better choice of on tap local ales! Peak summer season but ice cream counter was empty - could put signs out front & be drawing in customers if they stocked good quality Gelato's - were surprised how quiet this hotel was for the time of year! A few tweeks here & there could really make the difference to this hotel!
Dirty skirting boards, dull hotel signage & weeds outside the front of the hotel

Verified reviewView over Loch Gilp and beyond.
Probably a first world problem, my feet hung out the end of the bed so my sleep wasn't great, but the room was otherwise comfortable.

Verified reviewWe booked very last minute. They were able to accommodate all our needs and more. We got a table for dinner and the room was very nice - clean, modern - everything we could need for our short stay. The water temperature was great and the shower had good pressure.
I think my room the bed mattress and pillows could do with upgrading. But the other room we booked was much better so I assume they are being done on a phased basis. The towels could be a bit bigger / nicer but they were clean and fine for our needs.

Verified reviewThe staff were very friendly. Nice beer garden.
The outside of the building was very rundown looking. The curtains in our room were inadequate, couldn't be pulled across. The food was very poor, seemed reheated.

Verified reviewA nice comfy hotel just by the water, in a quiet village - simple, old building, which I like, with everything you need, and a good value for money! Not many buses but still manageable and a restaurant/pub next door. I recommend this place. :)
