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...).

AustraliaFailure of one toilet on arrival. Swift attendance to this issue by owner was very much appreciated and remained working for duration.

United KingdomThe shower in the en suite bathroom had very poor pressure so it wasn’t much usable, but this didn’t really affect my overall rating for the property, I think it was a great place to stay.
The view, the space, two toilets, the bbq, the fire pit. Close to the start of Ben Nevis, perfect for a small group of friends. Good for paddle boarding.

United KingdomThe pictures don't do justice to the property. It is much much better and nicely done. It is in a quiet secluded area with a beautiful view of Nevis. The lodge had everything we needed. There were sufficient utensils for cooking and crockery. The beds are comfortable. We were parked right outside the lodge. In case you are in town and need a ride back to the lodge, you can always call a taxi. The owner is really sweet and came to check on us if we needed anything. Overall, we had a great time and it exceeded our expectations.

United KingdomI'm pushed here but...Could do with better signs for us out-of-town guys that haven't got a clue about country roads. There's no basic tea, coffee, milk, salt and pepper etc, which was explained due to covid once there but could be mentioned prior so you can bring bits from home or super store, as can be expensive to buy locally. Suggestions for local restaurants and water sports could benefit travellers.
Super friendly host, Sheena made us feel very welcome from the moment we arrived. Immaculate lodge with modern decor. Everything you could need for a perfect stay. Beds are super comfy, showers are powerful and hot. Lovely fresh linen and towels. Location is ideal for taking in views, near to ben N and the most peaceful river nearby to swim in if your brave enough. Didn't want to leave.
