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.).

United StatesThe shower was minuscule and the hot water came and went. The lodge is in the middle of nowhere so nothing else to do unless you drive into Killin.

We had very nice dinner and breakfast, and stylish room! We felt welcome and homie. The owners are also super nice and helpful. Alao they have very good coffee and best walnut hummus I have ever eaten. I recommend this place as it is stylish, warm and welcoming.

United Kingdomthe standard room that we were assigned to did not match with the pictures shown on the internet. small bathroom ( probably a previous small wardrobe within room I would say from the door’s style). the room was with holes and staines on the celling and cracked wall. No internet is provided by the host and poor coverage phone signal service.

South KoreaWhilst there are certainly the remains of an old lodge such as a few old photos and some old taxidermied animals randomly dotted about, there is an odd juxtaposition between that, and garish modern fittings that appear in some cases functional, and in others; entirely questionable. The old servants quarters serve as the bedrooms on the highest floor, unfortunately the rooms have been cut into and partitioned so that in each room there appears a large block newly built into the walls, which is the bathroom of the next room; and as a guest you can hear everything that occurs in the bathrooms either side of you; since they are literally in your bedroom. The food on the menu came entirely out of packets and jars and no actual dinner menu exists beyond the processed and packaged.
The bed was not uncomfortable and the staff made an effort.

United KingdomThe accommodation was disappointing overall. We were given an attic room which had a distinct damp smell and lacked ventilation. We did inform the owner of the damp smell and requested a room change. However, rather than acknowledging my feedback, I was told categorically that the room did not smell of damp and that if we wanted to change rooms it would be an extra £150 charge per night. We declined this option as we already felt we were paying over the true value for the accommodation. We were hoping for a restful stay, however the walls were extremely thin and I was woken up most hours of the night by the sound of the guests next door turning on lights, using the facilities and blowing their nose! Unfortunately the busy road outside could be heard from the room, however this noise did reduce at night as the traffic died down. The beds were reasonably comfy but admittedly not what I was expecting for the price.
The breakfast was delicious. Fresh, well cooked food. Lots of variety and exciting takes on traditional recipes. Lovely service and very friendly staff who catered for dietary needs really well. The bar was well stocked with local whiskeys to try and the decor in the breakfast and bar area added atmosphere. The room was exceptionally clean.

United KingdomPictures made the hotel look remote but actually it is beside a quite busy road. They were very clear about no wifi and no mobile signal but I would have liked the option. The shower was very feeble. no sound proofing between us and the room to our right which meant we could hear every word they said and their morning shower felt like it was taking place in our room. 3rd floor and no assistance with luggage.
The style and decor of the place were great. There was a relaxed 'unhotel' like atmosphere with a bar and a beautiful large room with tables and chairs where you could play cards and enjoy drinks or food. The menu was limited to sharing boards but the food on offer was very tasty and a good standard. The cheese tasting and whisky board was fabulous and only £14.50 - highly recommended. The home cured salmon was also a highlight. Immaculately toasted sourdough bread and a good cooked breakfast in the morning. The owners were very friendly and explained how they were in the process of rennovations which was why our room had an old shower which I struggled to get working. There is only one first floor fully renovated room at the moment - I would think that would be the room to book. We had one of the four rooms in the roof. I would definitely return.

United KingdomCould not fault the property. Arriving after dark made it a little confusing to find the way in from the main road. Perhaps extra directional signs would help.
If you are looking for a friendly hotel, with up to date, stylish, comfortable room with all mod cons then look no further. We booked here as a halfway overnight stop on our way to Mallaig. We will definitely visit again, hopefully soon.
