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 internet connection was a bit hit and miss which is inconvenient to say the least. It really needs to just work 100%, but after the first night it was on and off. The connection was a little better in the bar but it's not really acceptable to have such dodgy WiFi these days.
The whole inn was mostly clean and comfortable. It was good value for money and felt safe and secure. There were nice people to check us in and it is located close to the sea front (loch front) and to the town. The TV was good and the bathroom was excellent, including the shower.

United KingdomThe location was perfect, the room was spacious, comfortable and spotlessly clean. The food was also good, really tasty with super generous portions. But what really made our trip was the staff. Every single person we met was friendly, helpful, and just genuinely lovely. They made us feel so welcome and went out of their way to help, thank you.

Convenient for the early ferry trip the following morning, only a 10 min drive. Staff were great in the bar and food was good and reasonably priced. Room was large and looked like it had a recent refurbishment. Nice and clean.

United KingdomOnly the noise from upstairs but guess that comes with hard floors. And it didn’t go on too late
We were seeking somewhere near the ferry port, easy to find, with food and this delivered on all points. The room was lovely, very clean and with a lot of the little extras that many places have stopped doing - nice amenities in the bathroom, loads of coffee sachets and biscuits. We enjoyed a walk along the sea front before we had to leave and this was literally a few steps away.

United KingdomThe beds are in need of changing but for one night we dealt with it.
Fantastic location to catch the ferry to Belfast. Pub food was amazing after a long drive up. Access to a walk along the Loch was amazing. We stayed as a family of 2 adults and 2 teens. We had plenty of space in the 1 room. There were 2 single beds and 1 double, which was perfect for us. Communication before arriving was fantastic, staff were very friendly and made us feel very welcome.
