Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 KingdomNo problems at all ,
The breakfast was excellent with a wide choice of options and well presented . The dining room can also be used as a lounge by guests which is a nice benefit to have . Parking was private and close to the building. The Castle is a grand old building full of character .A path leads down to the Beach with walks to neighbouring villages or by crossing over the river to A more rugged coastline . Highly recommended and a great Host

United KingdomOur stay was too short.
We were treated to a superb full Scottish breakfast and then were taken on a tour off the castle. Robbie was so knowledgeable regarding the past history of the castle and all the changes which had been made over its many centuries. We cannot thank our host enough for the time he took showing us its many rooms and interesting artefacts. The castle is well placed for the local amenities and also the village of Gourdon is lovely walk along the beach on a path following the old railway track. We would definitely recommend the Harbour Bar there for the very fresh local food. Thank you Robbie and Vivienne for a wonderful stay. We will definitely be back.

United Kingdom-
Excellent location for exploring the area, by car or foot (right next to the coastline). Lovely room. Exceptional breakfast :) Robert was an excellent host, easy to talk to, full of ideas for visits: he also gave up his time to show us around Hallgreen Castle. The castle is worth the visit just for itself, spanning centuries of history, eloquently presented by Robert whose enthusiasm for the building is infectious. Thank you for a wonderful short break :)

This is a true BnB experience where you are being welcomed into someone's home. Take the tour of the castle - you won't regret it. The owner is clearly passionate about castles. Don't expect the amenities to be perfect, but you will be comfortable and well fed. Dogs will greet you.

United KingdomDirections. Sat nav does not go to the right place. It's down a private road.
Staying in a real Scottish castle is a wonderful and unique experience. It's far removed from a hotel chain and is quirky and individual. We loved it! The owner was very helpful and welcoming, and we would happily go back.

United KingdomHallgreen castle would not be for everyone, but if you are prepared to accept that it is a piece of Scottish heritage and not a pristine boutique hotel then you are sure to enjoy it. Shame we didn't have time for the tour of the castle that Robbie offered us.
It is not every day that you stay in a 14th century castle! Robbie was the perfect host. The Scottish breakfast was beautifully cooked and presented :) The room was spotless and had everything we needed, including a welcome fridge with water and milk.

United KingdomPersonally nothing we disliked. The castle is a working home and Robbie & Vivienne are both lovely, well informed & happy to give travel tips! Bonzo & Rocky were also happy to play ball and have ear scratches!
The history of the castle was there to see. Robbie gave us a superb tour and free reign to look around ourselves for pictures etc. he also lit the fire in the great hall one of our evenings with only the fire & candlelight it was atmospheric and very relaxing ( no ghost came out though!)
