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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

Really lovely, quality property, great communication from hosts and we appreciated the marshmallows and wine! Fantastic views from the garden and it would have been lovely to sit out had it not been for the rain! Instead we warmed up by the log fire and enjoyed the view from indoors, which was not too bad either! The property is well equipped, easy to find and in a great location for the attractions around Fort William.

United KingdomStayed the one night, wished we could have enjoyed the marshmallows over the fire pit but good old Scottish weather was not helpful. Will aim for a longer stay next time.
A very modern but easily accessible property, located in the midst of nature, with a backdrop of the mountains. Amazing place to take in the tranquility, with a hot cuppa in hand.

Very peaceful, clean, and well maintained. After a long flight from the USA and day traveling Scotland, this was the perfect end to that first day. While we didn't meet the owners the facilities were easy to access and had everything we needed, and more. And the box of chocolates was the proverbial "icing on the cake" since we didn't have anything to eat for many hours.

United KingdomFrom the moment we arrived in the car we were overwhelmed with this lovely place. The wonderful host, Joanne, had left us a bottle of bubbly and some marshmallows along with sticks for the fire pit. The cottage is modern, extremely clean with wonderfully scented toiletries in the bathroom. We thoroughly enjoyed sitting out by the fire pit and enjoying the scenery. Fantastic details of surrounding areas are located in a book with precise directions. Thank you for our comfortable stay-wish it was longer.

United KingdomNot a reflection on the property itself, but if you're planning on eating out every night like us (it's Mum's holiday too!) make sure you book tables in restaurants in Fort William and get on your way there before 5.30pm because traffic backs up and restaurants fill up quickly!
Birch Hollow is such a lovely wee cottage, the view from the patio door is incredible and, if we'd had the weather, the firepit would have been used every night. Lots of wild garden birds at the feeder every morning to entertain us during breakfast and Joanne gave us a heads up when some Roe Deer came along to munch on the longer grass near the fence, we also had a wee visit from a mouse on the back steps which delighted my kids. Secluded enough to feel like we were in the middle of nowhere but really just a fifteen minute drive from Fort William.

We had a lovely stay in the cottage, Joanne has provided everything you could possibly need and some unexpected treats! The setting and views are amazing. We had a walk up the tourist trail on Ben Nevis to find some stunning views but if you don’t want to drive then a short walk from the cottage takes you to Neptunes staircase. We would definitely stay here again!

From the minute we arrived we were blown away by the beauty of this place. Very peaceful surroundings but close enough to shops and restaurants. Beautiful views of the mountains and only a 5 - 10 minute drive from ben nevis car park which is a breathtaking mountain to climb. Joanne was an exceptional host and will go above and beyond to make you feel at home. 5* from us all and thank you 🏡🥂
