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 KingdomMinor thing but the sofa in the living room wasn’t that comfortable, which we later appreciated was due to it being a sofa bed. Nothing major though.
Great location and really nicely decorated. Great facilities, it had everything we needed. Comfy beds and lovely bathrooms.

United KingdomLow beams in doorways upstairs a nighttime hazard, whilst location was lovely and quiet it was not close by to evening restaurant options, but none of this would stop us staying here again.
Well furnished and decorated cottage, very comfortable with everything you might need for your stay. Our 4 year old loved the little bath upstairs, and the downstairs bathroom was very spacious and comfy. Loch Ness boat trips set off right across from the cottage and is right next door to a lovely daytime cafe.

AustraliaEverything was really comfortable and above what we expected.
The cottage is very charming and spotless, set in a beautiful and peaceful location, overlooking the loch. We loved the many birds visiting the garden and the highland cows in the paddock behind. We did a lovely walk along the water and got talking to some really interesting locals. The shop next door makes a nice hot chocolate and has some nice souvenirs, better quality than in the other stores in the area. We heard the history of the cottage from a lady in the store: although it would be lovely to have a young family living there, at least we felt we were contributing to the community in a small way.

United States of AmericaWe enjoy cooking, especially after staying in hotels. It would have been great to have simple salt & pepper in the kitchen, as well as a freezer. A hair dryer available would’ve been really helpful!
It was so quaint, clean, lovely, homey and bright! And the location was great for us. The yard was beautiful!

United KingdomThere were couple things however its not a negative comment. The kitchen had everything though it was missing salt and pepper. As soon as we got in had to open the windows to let the air as it felt very stuffy. Again something out of the owners control its not meant as a negative :)
Amazing place with quaint lush garden it had beautiful flower's front and back garden. Rooms were spacious and clean. It's right on the door step of lock ness Jacobite cruise site that was a bonus walking along the river. I would stay there again. Best bit was the garden and birds tweeting sweet sound and great for yoga practice.

United KingdomThe location of this gorgeous cottage is just perfect -we could have easily spent a few more days here just watching the working locks and walking the canal paths. The cottage was extremely clean and welcoming. Beds and quality linen and towels -slept so well. Highly recommend this cottage -make sure you stay long enough to enjoy what's on its doorstep

United KingdomWe absolutely loved our stay, the cottage is absolutely gorgeous and had everything you need. It is spacious, very clean and very welcoming. The decor was very fitting to the idyllic setting. The cottage is in a beautiful location which suited us going out for the Inverness nightlife and being central to most visitor attractions.

United KingdomDidn't find anything that we didn't like.
Beautiful cottage in an idyllic location. Spotlessly clean and well equipped. Lovely fenced in garden for the dog to run around in. We all enjoyed our stay and will be back. None of us wanted to leave and could have happily stayed on. The cottage had plenty of space for us all to spread out. Comfortable beds meant we all had a great sleep every night. The perfect base to explore Inverness and Loch Ness. When you see the view from the bedrooms for the first time, it will take your breath away. Great communication from the host. One of the best cottages we have stayed in. Thank you.

United KingdomThe sofa in the lounge could be a little uncomfortable. There wasn’t any ventilation in the kitchen unless you open the back door, but that didn’t work very well in bad (windy rainy) weather.
Lovely cottage with lots of space. Nice and cosy feel. The beds were really comfortable and the wood burners worked well.
