Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 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 KingdomMaybe I missed the instructions but we couldn’t find the washing machine/dryer. There was a locked door on the outside of the property and on speaking to the owner we found there was a key to that door in a kitchen drawer, and that’s where the laundry facilities are.
Location amazing, in sight of the Loch just a short walk away. West Highland Way walking trail runs past the entrance. Very quiet at night. Lodge was well equipped so we cooked some of the time and used the BBQ though there is a Pub almost next door if you prefer to eat out. It was busy though, booking for dinner recommended. Friendly and helpful owner, not on site but easy to contact by phone, grateful for me reporting a couple of maintenance issues.

United KingdomA few more chairs on the verandah please. The Lodge sleeps 6 but there are only 4 outdoor chairs.
The location is breathtaking and we were there the evening of the amazing Northern lights show so very special and memorable for us. The Lodge ticked all the boxes for us and had a very homely feel. Ensure that you have all basic provisions with you as there is nowhere nearby to shop. We used the Lodge as a base to climb Ben Lomond so excellent location as right near the start of the walk.

Caol Gleann lodge provided the perfect get away, the lodge is cosy but modern, it has everything we could possibly need. The lodge is a few minutes walk to the loch edge with spectacular views of Ben Lomond and beautiful trail walks nearby. Our host deserves a special mention, we had a couple of enquiries and requests and they couldn’t have been more accommodating- it’s really helped make the trip extra special. I hope to come back very soon!

United KingdomThis lovely, cosy lodge is right on the Loch and at the foot of Ben Lomond (a popular hiking mountain). Stunning setting on the quiet side of the Loch. The lodge was clean and comfortable with all the stuff we needed provided. There was a double room, a twin and another room with bunk beds. Perfect for our family of four. We hope to be back.

United KingdomThe double bed was a little bit uncomfortable due to a hard mattress but nothing major! That’s the only con I found about the property, other than that everything else was spot on!
Couldn’t recommend Coal Gleann Lodge enough! Very cosy and clean place surrounded by amazing scenery. Will definitely think about coming back later on in the future.

United KingdomNone of these are due to the property really. Tips: Plan ahead for the midges and buy midge spray. It was 26 degrees and we couldn’t cool down - we count ourselves as lucky and imagine May half term in Scotland with this temp is a blessing!
Incredible location on the beach, at the bottom of Ben Lomond, on the loch and watersports hire. All whilst feeling very remote and away from it all. A very lovely lodge cute, comfy sofa, had everything you needed and a gated decking great for dogs and little children,
