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 KingdomPerfect stay from start to finish. Easy to find thanks to the clear directions, such a lovely property and stunning views. Matt and Sofie made us feel so welcome and gave us so many tips of places to visit and to eat. Very good recommendations. Previous reviews raved about the breakfast and we now know why, all homemade, fresh and delicious, perfect start to each day. We brought our dog with us too and I think she was sad to leave, she even felt at home !!! Cannot wait to go back soon.

United KingdomNothing to dislike
the hosts greeted us on arrival, showed us to our room, explained the procedure for breakfast along with other information; a table was booked for us to eat that night, as time was getting on. The room was very spacious and immaculately clean, with a large shower and large comfortable bed. Breakfast was excellent. Hosts very knowledgable of the area and keen to share this with you. Views from the dining room were stunning.

United KingdomVery little. Minor minor points - instead of just body wash in shower have a combined shower and body wash. Normal TV has terrible reception in bad weather. Honestly just being picky they were lovely, warm, welcoming.
Location was excellent- don’t stay in Oban. Stay here! Lovely location, great but simple breakfast. Sophie and Matt super super helpful. Went out of their way to help us with often silly requests that we had. Really lovely hosts. Would stay again.

GermanyWe stayed for 2 nights at Ceo Mara Croft, it was the first of 4 stays on a Scotland round trip. The surroundings are absolutely stunning, the house and the rooms where beyond perfect. The rooms offer lots of space, the beds are super comfortable, and everytjhing was spotlessly clean. Sofie and Matt have been the most welcoming hosts aou can imagine - super friendly and full of recommendations for activities in the Area. Our first-time impression (we where blown away actually) was topped by the breakfeast next morning - all our wishes where accommodated, the bred was freshly baked - what else shall I say. There is just one downside - we had booked 2 nights only, we wish we could have stayed longer... -> next time. Ceo Mara Croft is a gem, and we will come back for shure. Thanks Sofie and Matt for the great time we had at your place!!

United KingdomI feel bad saying there was anything we didn't like, because it really was all perfect, but we did find the bed a bit soft for our backs. It wouldn't stop us coming back though.
The most beautiful view of Loch Etive and Ben Cruachan from the lounge and our bedroom. Superb breakfast with delicious homemade ingredients. Matt and Sophie were excellent hosts with lots of very useful local information and tips. Highly recommended!

The whole equipment is of the highest quality and perfectly cleaned and the view of the lake and the mountains are stunning. Sofie and Matt are the best hosts we have ever met… they are so pleasant and friendly and perfect organized and had a lot of tips for hikes and restaurants and more… Many many thanks for that.. we really enjoyed it and will come back…

AustraliaCan’t really fault anything. Thank you.
Location. Very clean rooms and facilities. Comfortable beds. Nice bathrooms. Good breakfasts. A very special shout out to the hosts, Matt and Sofie, for their very welcoming and helpful attitudes. This was by far our favourite place to stay in our time we were travelling throughout the UK. Just a shame we did not find out about this Croft stay earlier.

Abkhazia, GeorgiaNothing, it was amazing
Beautiful location overlooking a stunning vista of a loch and ranges. Best breakfast i had in Scotland with home made bread, jam, yogurt and the best smoked salmon I have ever had. You have your own loungeroom and dining table looking out to that stunning view. Bedrooms were well appointed and large. It was nice to go and visit their piglets and goats outside. They provide and fabulous book with a list of itineraries across the days and there is plenty to do. Location is fantastic just nearby to Oban, plenty of castles around to visit without the tourists around. Great drive out to Glen Coe and back. I really couldn't recommend this place more

Matt and Sofie were lovely hosts, with great local knowledge. We are a well travelled couple and this was easily the best continental breakfast we've had - homemade yoghurt and bread and fresh fruit salad. Location is beautiful and we loved meeting the croft donkey! We would absolutely stay again and will recommend to our friends and family.

United KingdomCeo Mara Croft is set in the most beautiful location. The first thing you see, when you enter the Croft, is the view from the living area. It is absolutely breathtaking! Sophie and Matt are wonderful hosts and make you feel so welcome. The rooms are all lovely and spotlessly clean. The beds were extremely comfortable and Sophie was kind enough to purchase synthetic pillows for my stay. There are lovely little touches everywhere, from the chocolates, to Sophie’s own freshly cut flowers. The information on the local area was invaluable. Unlike other hosts, Sophie and Matt had prepared their own, very detailed, leaflets and maps, which we used several times, every day. The breakfasts were just delicious! The highlights for us, were Matt’s freshly baked bread, served with Sophie’s homegrown, homemade jams and preserves. We cannot recommend this accommodation highly enough! It is ideally placed, for touring the local area, assuming you can draw yourself away from the stunning view of Loch Etive.
