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.).

TOFH is a traditional west coast cottage restored to a high standard. The sun room overlooking the loch is exceptional, the views are amazing, always changing with the weather. The cottage is very comfortable, soft sofas and a lovely double bed with high quality bedding. The kitchen is well equipped with washing machine, fridge and freezer etc. Plenty of room, TV if needed, but the views of the loch and wildlife were more than enough. There’s a community food store in the village, run by volunteers, a gift shop and two restaurants (didn’t use them so can’t recommend). The pedestrian ferry to Lismore is very close by, visited the island twice to see the wild flowers. A truly superb cottage in a stunning location.

United KingdomWe really liked everything! Tiny points would be that we had to ask for help locating the full set of keys once we were inside. I looked back but I don't think the info for their hiding place had been given. Also, it isn't easy to find the glass recycling centre (tucked away down a side road near the Old Inn) so would be useful to add that in to the otherwise v useful guide.
We had a wonderful week at the Old Ferryhouse. Of all the many cottages I've stayed in over the years of visiting Port Appin, this was the absolute best for location - incredible to be right on the shore, and also in the heart of the village. The kids loved playing on the shore and paddle boarding in the bay. The sun room overlooking the shore was such a lovely space; that view! We had a great stay - spacious bedrooms, comfy beds, well equipped kitchen, plenty of hot water. We also really appreciated all the books and games.

United KingdomThe furniture in the sun room wasn't as comfortable and the table quite wobbly - but really I'm picking things out here.
The property was absolutely made by its location and stunning view, but we also found the beds very comfortable and enjoyed the cosy fire, and little comfort details like the electric blankets on the bed and the electric heater in the bathroom. We also found out host very helpful. It felt homely, practical and relaxed all the time.

United KingdomHot water only warm. Layout was a little tricky with kitchen separated from main lounge. Shower was Ok.
Location was unbelievable. Right beside Loch Linnhe. Beautiful views and large windows to see the view. Excellent host, very clear instructions about everything. Easy access. Small fault with shower fixed very quickly. Excellent broadband, TV and heating. Lots of thoughtful things like adapter strips for power, many guidebooks, kitchen consumables, rack for stuff in bathroom. Well equipped kitchen. Comfortable beds. Space to sit outside beside the loch. New carpet in lounge.

This is my favourite part of the West Coast and the cottage is in the heart of the village but secluded too. It’s full of character, comfortable, clean and stocked with wonderful books and maps. The owners were friendly and welcoming.

United KingdomThe lounge furniture is elderly low to the floor, not very comfortable for the older traveller. The sun lounge furniture is similarly past its best. Although the dining table and chairs are fine. The kitchen is provided with the basics. The extensive pdf on how to take care of the property was at odds with the out of date paper copy provided at the property. This needs updating.
The bed was comfortable; the shower was good although an over the bath type. The location is stunning.
