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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

AustraliaHaving only just arrived in Scotland, the road appeared challenging being a single lane. We've since learnt that the road was really quite good.
Diedre was very welcoming and was happy to share local knowledge. Nothing was too much trouble. The breakfast was exquisite, a beautifully set table with fine china, crystal and fresh flowers. A full cooked breakfast with freshly made fruit smoothie and freshly brewed coffee. We had booked as a stop over, but wished we could have stayed longer. Very tranquil and relaxed environment. Loved the antique furniture. Would definitely recommend.

United KingdomLoved the old style country house and decor with a sitting room full of books and a wood burning stove. The breakfast was the highlight of the day along with spectacular views overlooking Loch Etive . We enjoyed a nice walk up to the Ardochattan Priory and next time would like too walk beyond Bonawe. The hostess ( Deirdre) recommeded a trip to the island of Luing which we throughly enjoyed.

Deidre and Ivanna were lovely and really look after their guests! You can tell they really care about their guests and want to spoil them. Lovely rooms, deer, sheep and cows outside the windows, chickens in the yard. Very idyllic! The breakfast was lovely, especially the smoothie with home-grown berries :)

United KingdomDisappointed with breakfast. Non-vegans had options of salmon, kippers, eggs and which way, local meats. There were no options for us even though we paid the same amount. Suggestions - smashed avocado, scrambled tofu, vegan haggis. Cannellini beans were lovely but we had to request. No vegan spread available.
Beautiful accommodation, comfortable and excellent location. Warm and friendly welcome. Views from bedroom and dining room. Relaxing and quiet stay, away from the hustle and bustle of life. Excellent coffee !

The house is located in a remote place surrounded by the sheeps, deers and cows of the neighbouring farms. The scenery is wonderful and so the building and its beautifully kept garden. The breakfast was super we felt very welcomed and I like the pets (cats, hens, rouster). We just wished we could have more time to stay there. Dear Deidre, David, Ivanka, thanks again for everything!

United KingdomNot spending enough time there.
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at the Blarcreen House. From the very start, the hosts Deirdre and David went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and enjoyment. Their thoughtful messages about dinner recommendations showed their considerate nature. They even took the initiative to reserve a table for us, anticipating our potential delay on our first night. The care didn't stop there. With our big hike up Ben Nevis planned, Deirdre prepared breakfasts in advance, showing a level of attentiveness that truly touched us. They even woke up early to ensure we were well-prepared for our adventure. And the breakfast Deirdre prepared on our last day was nothing short of amazing – a perfect blend of luxury, kindness, and ambiance that left us feeling pampered and grateful. The house itself has breathtaking landscapes - a perfect blend of comfort, elegance, and natural beauty. The house’s attention to detail is evident in every aspect of your stay. This was truly a destination that immerses you in the majesty of the Scottish Highlands. The experience was nothing short of extraordinary, and it's safe to say that we're eagerly looking forward to our next visit to Blarcreen. The warmth, care, and attention to detail provided by the hosts made our stay truly unforgettable.
