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...).

We were lucky enough to work from 'home' (i.e. Rachel's farm) for a week and it was truly the best!! - Very comfortable beds - Great wifi - Very clean - Every utensil you'll need - Some great walks/hikes within a 30 minute drive - Good restaurants & cafes nearby - The location was great and the sunset was some of the best we've ever seen!!

United KingdomOnly thing was a loose slab in the back and our hot tub wasn’t warm when we arrived as they change the water for hygiene reasons, takes 24hr to heat up but understandable why it is done
The whole farm was lovely, our cottage was modern and lovely decor and clean, hot tub was great and the wood burning stove was a lovely feature too

United KingdomNo downsides to this stay whatsoever but would suggest some motion sensor lighting outside the property particularly for the winter months. We will absolutely be back to stay here
We had an amazing two night stay in the wonderful Hideaway (superior apartment) The space was beautiful and finished to a very high standard. The wood burner was great and so cosy we loved it . The beds were so comfy and the main bathroom was gorgeous with the free standing bath and was such a relaxing spot. The jacuzzi was on for us arriving and despite the weather we braved it for a short time. The property has all the amenities you will need for a short break. Communication with th hosts was fast and the best part was the view. Absolutely stunning.

United KingdomHad a wonderful stay at rachael's farm booked the gate house and the stables for family and both properties were 10/10. Rachael herself was extremely helpful as the stables was a same day booking and she accommodated the extra family members that were arriving with very little notice, very happy I found this little gem and will be a returning customer to try out the other properties in future

United Kingdomvery minor points (and not really an issue) but the back garden could be doing with a little bit of weeding (round the hot tub) and maybe a grass cut to smarten it up. As I say this wasn't a big deal and could be down to the time of year with the weather not as favourable for gardening activitied.
Lovely property, beautiful decor and stocked with everything needed for a relaxing stay. The hot-tub was great for a chill out and worked perfectly. The host (Rachel) checked in with us to make sure we had everything we needed.

United KingdomI think the snagging issues should have been sorted before the lodge was opened to use, or we were at least informed of the issues. The leak from the roof meant I had to clear up water ingress three times, there was no mop and bucket to do this. For me the worst problem was the panel in the bedroom that hadn’t been sealed and had a gap of about 1 cm at the bottom ,direct to outside, and a field, so ideal for mice to enter, let alone the breeze that was coming through. I had to use cardboard to stuff the gap! And the whole panel should be sealed as the draft came in from all around it. The wood burning stove was lovely, but no tools for it, ie poker, tongs and brush. We didn’t attempt the micro/cooker combi. Holes in bathroom should have been patched, towel rail in other bathroom was turned off from somewhere outside, this was rectified but we felt we should have been told someone would be coming to do that - as it was done when we were out and our possessions were in the lodge. No arm on the hot tub cover to help lift it on - this was explained to me. The TV. If I had been there with my friend we would not have been able to use it. Only lucky that my niece knew how to ‘stream’ it from her phone. That should be explained in selling it as luxury accommodation. The hanging ?smoke detector in the cleaning cupboard did not instil confidence. On reflection I chose this accommodation as luxury accommodation to treat my niece, who has had a tough year, and I may have thought twice had I known the snagging issues. It would have been good customer service to offer compensation or a weekend break in low season, but this was not forth coming.
Location was lovely, good for access to the Trossachs. although there was building work going on behind the lodge - it wasn’t intrusive, but did start at 8am. Lodge is almost brand new- BUT there were snagging issues that spoiled the experience.

The accommodation needed a really good cleaning, the bedding on one of the beds did not look clean, the tap in one of the bedrooms was very loose, dead spiders and flies left around the windows. Crumbs on kitchen table
