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 KingdomI could have done with a soap holder in shower for my own soap or shampoo . There was a provided bottle of soap in its own holder but I prefer my own unscented soap. Also there was folding seats in the cupboard but would have preferred a more comfortable small seat. I realise space is priority so may have been more difficult for a bigger seat.
Friendliness and helpfulness of the owners. Room was clean and nicely decorated and comfortable bed.

United KingdomNot enough parking space for all guests. First night was OK but returning from day trip the second eve had to park on the road. This was OK as plenty of space opposite side of the road.
Room was good plenty of space clean twin room. Very comfy beds. Coffee and tea facilities replenished and cleaned each day. Ensuite shower room was small but very adequate and very clean with good shower. Didn't see owner as initial key entry was a coded key then keys in room so very easy set up. Lovely location and perfect for what we wanted to do. Plenty choice for eating out. 5 minute walk to Loch itself and Balloch station.

United KingdomWe booked the “suite” option, as the other three options on booking.com say in the title “no hot tub” so I assumed, as you would, that the option I had picked would include the hot tub. It does not. It was very misleading and we did not know this until arrival. After arrival we did try and contact both owners via text and call various times with no answer. We did eventually get through to Cathy and she came to the door and advised of no hot tub. The suite itself was lovely, spacious and clean. But still very disappointed as we booked this specific accommodation for the hot tub.

FranceThe room was fine ; clean and comfortable with a good bed. A radiator with its own temperature control allowed us to have as much warmth as we liked. We were happy to find a tea/coffee tray and a kettle. The hosts are lovely people, friendly and helpful - many thanks, Cathy. Balloch has everywhere you need for eating and basic shopping. And of couse, the region is full of interest and beauty.
