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 KingdomThe room was quite dark and looked into the quadrant in the middle of the hotel so we didn't have a view. Drinks were expensive as you would expect but there was also a service charge added even when bought from the bar? We did however query this and they removed the charges.
Beautiful hotel in a stunning location with a lovely swimming pool / Spa. It's set in it's own grounds so quite a walk into town, but it's a beautiful walk along the river, The buffet breakfast was more than adequate and topped up regularly, so very fresh and hot. We had dinner from the Bar menu which was lovely and reasonably priced considering the surroundings. Staff were very helpful and friendly.

United KingdomThe only disappointment was that the pool was being serviced during our stay, and there were no baby-friendly services available. However, due to our car trouble, we likely wouldn't have had the opportunity to use the facilities anyway. Otherwise, I couldn't fault the place. Normally, you might find a few things wrong or a scuff on the wall in a hotel, but this place was impeccably clean, tidy, and well-kept. I couldn't see anything wrong with it.
This place was great! Despite arriving late due to car issues, the staff checked us in promptly and were incredibly pleasant and helpful after our long day. They even accommodated our request to clean and sterilize a few baby bottles. Although we were disappointed to miss the restaurant's amazing-looking food, the staff kindly allowed us to order to our room outside the normal room service menu. The food was good, though the steak was slightly overdone for my liking.

United KingdomPrice is expensive for what you get at the hotel as some of the rooms are in need of refurbishment. Its a lot of money just for a bed for the night. So of planning to stay make sure you make the most of all your time there and get there for check in time in order to start enjoying all the time you have there.
Amazing setting and endless walks right at your doorstep. You are paying for the location more than anything else. Beautiful hotel in peaceful surroundings.

United KingdomBreakfast was poor…my husband went down at 930. There were very little cooked items left and they were not replenished. If you wanted a coffee such as a flat white etc you had to pay extra for it. Meal prices were expensive for what you got…drinks were also pricey and service was slow.
We revisited as we actually got married at the hotel here a year ago and absolutely love the hotel and location because of this. The hotel decor is luxurious and as we remembered it, makes it feel like a treat to come here as it is so nicely done. The outside space is beautiful and very peaceful. The lounge bar is relaxing and the pianist was a lovely touch. The spa is great but the jacuzzi wasn’t working. The rooms are really nice, a little small, but well equipped.

United KingdomWith my dinner i ordered a glass of the House Red. On arrival i thought it was very pale and on tasting it I felt it was watered down - but not being a coniseur and not one to complain I didnt say anything as couldn't possibly think it could be, so just left it on the side. Hopefully just a mistake.
On entry at the gates we were in aww, then after finally coming to the Hotel it was beautiful. The staff were great and so welcoming, and went out of their to ensure that we were comfortable. We ate in the bar, the food was lovely, the staff service was great. The beds were lovely, and everything was immaculate. After a very comfortable night, we went down for breakfast, and were sested in the conservatory. With the views down to the river it was lovely. The buffet breakfast was 1st class, everything cooked to perfection and all very tasty. The fresh croissants were a big hit with the bairns. The surroundings and pathways along the river were so picturesque, and we even spotting otters on the far side. Such a nice relaxing hotel and can't recommend it highy enough

United KingdomThe dinner service and breakfast service were both poor. At dinner we had to ask for the wine to be opened and at breakfast we had to search out a member of staff to order our cooked breakfast.
I have stayed at Dunkeld House Hotel on and off for 30 years. It definitely is not as good as it was in its heyday. Before you felt as though you were being really looked after and felt you were a valued customer, now you feel as though you’re just a number.
