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.).

GreecePool water temperature was a bit lower than we would have liked. Restaurant prices somewhat steep. We also had to draw the curtains during daylight hours (we were on the ground floor and people could see us - an inside curtain would have helped). But these are minor, minor blemishes. Overall it was SUPERB!! Highly recommended!!
Stunning views, tranquility, comfort, helpful, polite, courteous staff. Very understanding and accommodating to families with toddlers (we have two boys aged 11 and 2). Room was wonderful and very spacious for the 4 of us. Would love to return as we visit the area every year.

United Kingdommeals - the catering side of this hotel let the entire hotel down. they have two restaurants - one more affordable but is burgers and pizza - no GF options for those, only choice for GF was nachos or Curry. the other restaurant was quite pricy with average meals around £25 steaks were almost £40.00 Drinks - wine was about £11 pounds for a 175ml glass Prosecco was £9.00 - we were a party of 6 so getting tables for us was an issue also breakfast was diabolical - we had included breakfast on booking but they ran out of so much food, no GF breads or pastry's, fruit ran out and so did the pastrys and because we were a group of 6 we had to get the end of breakfast slot. they didnt even want us to sit in our individual rooms or have a 2 and 4 etc,
Beautiful hotel in a stunning location,

United KingdomFood in the restaurant is a bit pricey but the staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. Sauna and hot tub were not very hot. Tennis courts need some TLC.
The location is just breath-taking with stunning views over Loch Ard. We went kayaking at the Loch Ard Adventure Centre at the entrance to the hotel and in two nights used the pool, table tennis, football pitch, went for a run and went to Go Ape along the road for zip wire and walk to the waterfall. We also sat outside and enjoyed the beautiful view from the hotel. The staff were exceptionally friendly.

United KingdomThe spa area was chaotic and old. as much as I love kids, I wish the pool was in a separeted area from spa facilities (a really small jacuzzi, steam room and sauna) as it was difficult to find it relaxing. The changing room also need to be restored especially showers. We had dinner at the 'rafters' which was the more 'casual' restaurant. It was ok, nothing special but not bad. But I wish they have vegan options in the menu, When I asked to have the bean burger just without cheese they were confused. The location is nice but if you are on a road trip might be too far away from main roads or Loch Lomond, which is not well connected
Staff was really amazing and certaintly the thing we will remember the most from our trip. Breakfast was quite good too, the room was massive. The garden of the hotel is so beautiful

GibraltarThere was most days a wait to be served breakfast and to be served at the bar - this was because there were very few staff on and they had to man restaurant and bar. Drinks and the bar are not cheap.
Comfortable, friendly staff and beautiful location- even though a bit out of the way - you need transport to access places.

United KingdomIt would be nice if the bar menu was available in the restaurant. I am sure guests would happily pay a few pounds extra to sit in a nicer room.
We loved the size of the room and the wonderful view over the loch. The grounds are amazing and the restaurant seves excellent food. Just straight forward food, nothing too fancy and good portions.

United KingdomThe hotel is just so tired and needs a renovation. Lots of little things like stained and worn fabric on armchairs, marks on the wall and shabby exteriors just took away from what could be a great hotel.
The hotel is in a beautiful location and our room had incredible views over the loch. The grounds were nice and well maintained. Staff were friendly, our room was clean and the hotel was dog friendly.

United KingdomI had booked a std double well in advance of our trip, my single, male friend booked last minute and for the same price got a double deluxe with complimentary bottled water, bath and robe! We did have a chuckle as my husband and I were in a garret room with shower only and no water (we did bring a jug of water to the room when retiring for the night). The only thing i would improve would be to have a roaring fire in the empty fireplace and real bookcases on either side in the lounge...but this wasn't a deal breaker. Breakfast is quite expensive at £26pp
Breathtaking surroundings and beautiful grounds. We had a little standard attic room, but it was very quaint, clean, and perfectly fitted out...Elemis products. The spa was a lovely bonus, and the massaging whirlpool was worth the detour we took to book this hotel. The drive from Aberfoyle to the hotel was stunning. Highly recommended for ambience and location.

United KingdomWe decided to pay for a suite when booking to have a little bit of luxury and naturally we assumed the best rooms would have the best views. When we got into the room, we were shocked to find that our view was onto the carpark! Fortunately, the reception staff were on hand the help us out and relocated us. Hotel also had a dampness smell in the corridors, which was a little off-putting.
The room we eventually got was beautiful with everything we needed and a beautiful view. Staff were very helpful, especially Liz the receptionist.
