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.).

New ZealandThe Barn at Killin BNB much more than a cozy accommodation - it's a terrific experience! Hugh and Dwayne made an exceptional dinner that could rival any 5 star restaurant. They are both very welcoming and hospitable and invest a lot of time and care into their guests. The breakfast was far beyond continental- eggs bene, fresh fruit and juices, and amazing coffee! The design and decor are well considered and there are several living areas to cozy up and relax by the crackling fire. This is a hidden gem of a place, so don't miss out!

SpainLake Ohau is a bit remote, so there aren't any restaurants / services around. Despite that, the hosts inform you of everything and offer you alternatives.
Our stay at The Barn at Killin was one of our highlights in our NZ trip. The hospitality of Hugh and Dwayne was incredible and we felt just like at home. The breakfast was amazing, the room was very comfortable (with nice views), and the surroundings were incredible.

United KingdomFor anyone arriving in the night, be warned that the barn is quite hard to find as the Google maps location isn't quite right. Only other tip would be to give Hugh and Dwayne a heads up on dietaries if you have them in advance as the closest town is a good 30 min drive away!
We had a fun and unique stay at the Barn at Killin! Hugh was a brilliant host who made us feel at home from the get go. The decor and overall vibe of the place is flawless and we loved the theme and views of our Alpine room. Throughout our stay, Hugh and Dwayne put in the effort with the small touches; from offering us a wee dram of whisky, to a lift back to our car in the morning. We'd love to come back again and spend a little longer next time!

Chinacouldn't stay longer
The reason I rate 10 is I'm not allowed to rate any higher. Exceptional. We only stayed for one night but it became the best experience of the whole trip. We were the only guests in that night. Mr. Huge greeted us by the mainroad. We did reserve a dinner but I never expected it was so good! I'm missing the wine and food and the lovely conversation in that night already. The breakfast was great too! Even better than some 5-star hotel in my opinion... Still the best part is Mr. Huge's hospitality. Room was perfect. Facilities were great. Location is perfect! Ohau is indeed a remote place, the house is 200 meters outside the village but just perfect in my opinion. 1 minute walk to the lake. The house does have a touching history. All the best wishes to you and the house Mr.Hugh.
