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 KingdomThe floorboards on the ground floor were a little squeaky, and that's the only issue we had with our stay. Definitely not a deal-breaker by any stretch of the imagination.
The property is a very short walk from the train station, and as a bonus there are only a handful of trains a day so you won't notice this proximity beyond the ease of access. The location is gorgeous, and provides access to many wonderful walks of a variety of challenge levels. Loch Lomond is a very short walk away and is breathtaking at any time of year, and a boat launch for tours is very close by. The cabin's proximity to the Slanj pub is very handy, and the little shop next to it has a surprisingly large collection for purchase for its size. The property was clean, comfortable, and spacious. I would highly recommend this for up to six guests at a time, but any more than that and you'd likely be cramped.

United KingdomIt would have been nice to be able to watch normal tv/news not just Netflix and Prime. When we visited it was autumn with dark and rainy evenings. Had it been summer or spring, we wouldnt even have switched the tv on.
The cottage was very nice and comfortable. Very cosily furnished with plenty of room. Beds were comfortable. It was nice and clean. Had everything we needed. No trouble checking in or out. Nice terrace for drinks during long summer or spring evenings. The surroundings are beautiful, we went hiking and on a boat trip. Thinking of returning to the same cottage next year.

United KingdomDue to the remote location of the property, the mobile coverage was very poor in and around the immediate vicinity of the property. However, more annoyingly, the WiFi connection inside the property was very poor. The connection would go out regularly throughout the day and night. This would be a concern if you were intending to stay for business and needed a stable Internet connection. It did also make researching things to do and booking tickets for attractions a bit more challenging. The oven and trays when we arrived were very dirty and grimy. I did mention this to the host, who told me that he’d ask the cleaner to clean these, however, both the oven and trays were still grimy even after the fact. In the end, we cleaned the oven ourselves and used our own trays. Other than that, we didn’t have any issues with cleanliness at all.
A lovely little compound of cottages in the heart of Arrochar & Tarbet, just a stone's throw away from Loch Lomond. The owner is a very pleasant host and owns all four of the properties in the compound. I found the property to be in very good keep and condition and the host is very helpful and always available on the phone to discuss any issues and even give general tourist advice. The property is very well catered for your stay. There was a range of amenities all provided at no extra cost, which was very nice to see and very helpful. For reference, if you’re intending to stay, here are the items in the property available for our use: Toilet roll Kitchen towel Washing up liquid Towels Handwash Tea, coffee, sugar Rubbish bags Cleaning products Kitchenware Laundry powder I would highly recommend that you have a car available for the duration of your stay as the property is in a location that isn’t very well served by public transport. Even though the Arrochar & Tarbet railway station is merely a 1 minute walk away, the station doesn’t appear to have many scheduled trains throughout the day and thus a car would be needed if you wanted to visit any of the tourist attractions in the Loch Lomond area. The scenery outside the property is beautiful as it looks onto the Ben Reoch mountain. Great for hikers and there is even a lovely hidden trail behind the railway station that takes you out towards Arrochar and Loch Long. The kind host and beautiful surroundings make this property a great location if you want to stay in a quieter part of Loch Lomond, away from the hustle and bustle of a town or village, whilst still being very accessible by car to Loch Lomond. All in all, a very enjoyable stay and highly recommended. Looking forward to returning in the future!

On arrival there was a welcome tray which incuded tea, just what is needed after a journey. The place was cosy, warm, clean and would defo return. The area is beautiful and quite central to most things. The owner and his assistant were both very friendly, full of information and welcoming.
