Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 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...).

United KingdomSofa beds not comfortable for sleeping & grass cuttings should be collected instead of being munched to stop the mess in glamping pods & toilet/shower block. Hook or rail to hang a wet towel would also be handy.

United KingdomBad heating on the first night where we suffered a lot, not being able to sleep. We spent half the night trying to keep warm and other half in our car. There were no bedding covers or duvet or proper pillows which we were unaware of, would have been better if we knew it beforehand.
Amazing place with spectacular scenery, mountains around the pods, water stream on the side, the greenery and the peace.

United KingdomWould have liked a toilet in pod , but you can't have everything !!!
If you love camping you will love this glamping pod. We stayed in Hob3, very welcoming lovely and warm when we arrived, although small it had all the basic essentials, kettle,microwave, fridge crockery, basin, cloth and dish towel provided. Managed to microwave meals at night that i brought with me from my freezer in a cool bag . Fridge although small was ample to store basic foods, milk ,butter etc. Toilets and showers very clean, no issues at all , just a short walk away. Please note you need to bring a container to get water from the tap outside or bring you own bottled water. Also own bedding & towels needed too .All in all a great warm welcoming pod at the end of a day hillwalking .A total upgrade from a tent !!! Heating , electricity ,terrestrial TV .😊

United KingdomThe taps in utility room is poor. No hot water to run. Confuse where to park vehicles. Caravan have parking next to each other but confuse to where Oct 1 location and the three hut on the other side. Oct 2 and 3 have their own parking space.
Lovely location, quiet, relaxing, not too far for toilet, shower and laundry. Walk down lock Tay good. Washing and tumble are fantastic for those who stay longer. Surprisingly the bed was comfortable. Hut had heating when get cold. Ideal for hiking than young family as surround by mountain where toddler notice travel far out.

Spain- Check in at 3-4pm but reception closed at 5pm. - No bedsheets or blankets but the camping guard helped us. Maybe it was my mistake to assume it would have them but it is like this in the 99% of the csses in booking, so you should explicitly say it.
- Camping guard was very very kind. He gave us bedsheets and a sleeping bag. - Really cheap

United KingdomWhilst we were very happy with the pod, it is worth mentioning a few things which others may want to take into account, which weren’t very clearly advertised to us: 1. You need to bring your own bedding (we brought sleeping bags & pillows) 2. There is no path up the moderately steep slope to the cabin, and the track in the campsite is muddy (as to be expected for a remote Scottish location) - these were both slippery in the rain, so walking boots/wellies would be helpful, and I wouldn’t recommend this for someone with mobility issues 3. The bathroom & showers are in a separate block 100m away down the track 4. The keys for the pod are collected in the site next door (Loch Tay highland lodges) 5. There aren’t obvious parking spots for the “hobs”, and we parked by the (empty) camping area, next to the shower block - this may be an issue in the busier summer season Overall, if you know what to expect, this place is excellent value for money, and great way to get closer to Scottish nature!
The cabin provided shelter on a night when our plans to camp were discouraged by rain, and we were very happy to have the heating, basic cooking facilities, and a solid roof over our head. The few staff members we met were happy to help. The campsite is in an excellent location surrounded by mountains, and we were well rested to climb some of these the next day!

United KingdomIt wasn’t clear really where you check in, it seems for the camping you check in on site. but for needing to get a key, you have to head over to the other site further along the road and then come back to the cruachan site. Which although not the end of the world, just a bit faffy! The facilities are in need of a little TLC, they were just okay… inside the ‘Hob’ could definitely do with some little hooks to hang things! Very annoying there’s nowhere to hang towels once you’ve used them so that they can dry.
The location is great, it’s got wonderful views and Loch tay itself is just stunning. A walk down to the loch is easy but harder coming back up! We stayed in a Hob, and it was just so cute! What wasn’t so cute was the huge spiders that had made their home in the top. A regular hoover would be needed up there as there were so many cobwebs! But we thoroughly enjoyed our stay, it’s so so peaceful and it’s great for the price, does what it says on the tin!

United Kingdom- Reception was in site next door. And check in is open from 4pm till 5pm with check out at 10am - Pod had gaps around the door frame that you could see day light. Lucky it wasn't a cold night but still had to keep the little heater on. - No were to hang wet jackets when it rains - No pillows or duvets even messaged to double check and was told bring bedding. For other places I've said bedding is just the bed sheet, pillow cases and duvet cover. Not quilt and pillows.
-Location was brilliant, peaceful and quiet. -Pod was big enough to stand in and plenty of space to move around even with the fold out bed made up. -Pod had everything we needed apart from pillows and duvets -Facilities short walk from pod. Toilets were clean enough considering it was a rainy day/night.

United KingdomThe only thing we didn't expect was two single beds and we had brought a king size sleeping bag !! The staff were very helpful and although there was no other double accommodation free they gave us extra bedding without any extra charge.
Lovely site and the staff were very helpful and friendly. It's a huge site and they have lots of different accommodation choices for different budgets. We were in a very reasonably priced octo pod which was fully equipped with all we needed for our stay except bedding and food.
