Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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 KingdomThe breakfast start time , just for this one day , should have been earlier. As the bus that transfers walkers to the start at Glasgow Green or Cumbernauld leaves at 0815 prompt and it’s a 10 minute walk from the Hotel. Breakfast needs to be from 6am and food geared towards a walkers diet. Not a lot to ask for as this could be arranged at the time you book the hotel.
The atmosphere was brilliant. “ All “ of the staff, and there were many this Kiltwalk w/e we’re really friendly. Especially our slim tall chap ( sorry memory fade ) who was so welcoming and daft , and the wee Lass ( server ) who was exceptional. Well done all of you, as after my 14 mile walk I was allowed to use a guest room to shower and change clothes in. Thanks house - keeping 🫂. There is no reason that we wouldn’t go back there next year to do the 23 mile and my partner ( Lui ) do the 3 mile. See you next year folks. PS: the beer garden holds 250 revellers and it was rammed !!!.

France- Some of the staff, notably a girl at the counter was not very friendly. A smile never costs a thing ! - The shower took ages to get warm… The dinner at night was not enough. We only had 6 raviolis. Needless to say that we were still starving !
The building is nice and welcoming !

AustraliaAn option of just cereal and toast for breakfast would be good. The cooked breakfast was good but sometimes you don't feel like a big breakfast,
The location is lovely. Nice pub with lots of seating and big screens showing the football matches. Plenty of variety on the menu.

United KingdomThe tables, floors and windows in the dining area were not clean (picture available) and felt a bit dated, even for a country Inn. One of the mattresses in the room had labels stating when to turn them (our stay was April and the mattress said side up June - August so not turned in a while) We ate in the restaurant one night and food took 20 minutes to come, but it tasted great despite that.
The Inn itself is in the perfect location for travelers to the area because of the train station right next door, Loch Lomond Shores about a mile away and the town shops. Free parking on site and free WiFi too are big pluses. The room we had was an excellent size with the bathroom as big as the bedroom area. The staff were welcoming (especially Chris) and live sport on 5 TVs in the bar area was fantastic.

The Tullie Inn is a lovely welcoming and cosy place. I stayed 1 night in the family room with my 2 children (15 & 8) which was very spacious and had everything needed. The breakfast was great. Staff where very friendly and extremely helpful.

United KingdomThe staff were pleasant but could have been nicer. While having our evening meal staff seemed to ignore our empty glasses, but were very attentive to the foreign couple behind us. We ordered more drinks which did not come, when we asked a second time the bar man brought them over himself. On leaving there was no question if everything had been ok, or if we had enjoyed our stay, the key was taken with no comment.
Our room was not as large as we hoped, more importantly clean and comfortable. The food was good, we had evening meal and breakfast. The weather was not good when we arrived, however from our previous visit we know there is a nice walk to the loch shore.

United KingdomWe were early by 1.5 hours (check in at 3pm) and were hoping to leave our bags in the meantime. On arrival we were greeted by an unsmiling member of staff, who asked if she could help us. I said we had a reservation for a room and immediately came the reply "Check in's at 3" and walking away as they spoke. I was taken aback and asked if we could leave our bags and they then pointed to a corner and said leave them there and walked off. But I had misheard - they actually said wait there. At that point we were near the bar area and there were other members of staff working. After a few minutes waiting the bar man shouted over that he would see to us shortly. The whole interaction was rude and dismissive and a bad first impression of this business. I started regretting booking this place. Will not be staying here again despite all the other friendly and welcoming staff. The bathroom tap did not have hot water. The shower cycled from being blistering hot and freezing cold in intervals of seconds.
All but one of the staff we met were friendly and helpful. The location was excellent as it is next door to the train station and at the foot of Loch Lomond. We had been upgraded from a small double room to a large double room. The place has obviously gone through a recent refurbishment. We had dinner there the first night and the food was good.
