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 KingdomRemember to pack your insect repellant for pesky midges. It didn't spoil our visit in anyway and is just a personal observation.
We had never been to this part of Scotland before and simply chose Powdermills B&B as a place to explore the area. It was one of our best decisions ever. Set in an area of scenic beauty, it is a beauty in itself. Located 8 miles past Inverary near the village of Furness it is ideally located to explore Loch Fyne, Inverary and parts much further afield. As you approach the outskirts of Furness watch out for the 2 white cannon signs either side of the road pointing to the accommodation which will be to your right. It is set back from the main road through gates and along a short driveway. There are plenty of spaces for parking. A warm friendly welcome is guaranteed with nice snacks and a drink for the weary traveller. The property is modern in build, spacious and light throughout. Our room was likewise with ensuite and complimentary toiletries. Breakfast is served in the main living area off the kitchen. There was a huge array of food suitable for any diet and delicious. The proprietors are friendly and available for advice on the local area/eating places etc. They maintain a small forest and grounds (sorry forgot how many acres) which is the reason for the property exceeding our expectations. We took time to explore the grounds with most pathways being easy to walk and only c15 mins and were rewarded with a great view of Loch Fyne. If you have time I would definitely recommend you do the same. It is ideally located 8 miles (c13 mins) from Inveraray going north or 3 miles (c5mins) from Crarae Gardens to the south. We visited the gardens on our way in (3 hours) and they are well worth a view. We also visited Inveraray and the Castle, home to the Duke of Argyll. There are plenty of eating establishments in Inveraray, we ate at the George Hotel and Inveraray Inn and would recommend both. Also visit the Harbour Gallery, good prices/amazing art.

United KingdomWe actually liked everything but in the interest of giving some constructive criticism, and noting that we completely understand and agree with the need for there to be a gate at the end of the driveway, the catch was a little stiff to open and could do with something a bit easier.
From the very warm welcome and home made cake from Sue and John, to the spotlessly clean accommodation and outstanding breakfast, everything was truly excellent. The location, views and facilities are all outstanding.

United StatesIt is not a big deal, but the place does not offer a dinner option. Thus, one must travel to the nearby towns for a meal. These towns are minutes away, but driving back to the B&B means that you can't have alcohol with your dinner. I guess you can always buy your wine and drink it once you are back at the B&B.
We liked everything. Sue and John were amazing, and breakfast was also great. The place is very quiet and you can stroll the property at any time of the day.

We had a lovely stay at this B and B with a group of friends. We each had a really nice room with sliding doors out to the beautiful gardens. We were welcomed by Sue Johnny and the dogs with tea/coffee and delicious cakes. We did the walk from the village to Auchindrain. Took us 3 hours. Great views. Would highly recommend

United KingdomNot a problem, but we couldn't work out how to work the telly.
After a long day travelling, it was a joy to be welcomed by our hosts, then drop our bags in our room before going for a leisurely walk through the beautiful grounds and woods that surround the Powder Mill B&B. The rooms are spotlessly clean with double doors that lead directly outside onto decking. We slept well in the comfortable bed and really appreciated the larger than average breakfast table. After a hearty breakfast we were refreshed and ready to head on our way.

What a place! Treated like Royalty - suites are simply fantastic - elegant, well equipped and super quiet and comfortable. Breakfasts delicious with huge choice. Hosts just lovely and sharing their home is a real privilege. Everything you could want is there - don't hesitate just get it booked! you will regret missing out I assure you. Private parking and clear instructions on how to get there much appreciated - just a shortish drive from Inverary which is perfect for mooching around and has good eateries plus a waterfront and a castle! Little surprise on the property - you'll have to go to find out! Shower room just great and toileteries high quality.
