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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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 en-suite was lovely/clean too, but inside the shower, there was nowhere to hold soap/shampoo etc, and if we had to be picky, we would have appreciated some sort of shelf/basket to save bending up and down to the shower tray.
Our room was lovely, so spacious! We loved the view of the Loch from our window. As for the breakfast, the cold table was incredibly generous, with an excellent variety to choose from. The cooked breakfast that followed was good too, according to my husband. I opted for a bowl of porridge, both mornings - delicious! Our host was so nice, approachable and informative

MaltaNothing to complain.
On our arrival we parked the car in the back garden. The lady (sry forgot the name) was so hospitable. The room.....ohhhhhh AMAZING😍...the place is soooo quiet, except for the feeeeeew passing vehicles, the humming sound of the river, and the chirping birds. The view is breathtaking. The bathroom was the surprise of it all 😁 10/10. Breakfast 10/10. Well done and keep it up😊

United KingdomIt was a bit tricky to work out where we were supposed to park, and having parked there was nothing to indicate how to get into the hotel, just a plain black door into the garden. We rang and were given directions to an unmarked lane at the back of the property off the main road, and the Hostess came out into the garden to greet us, which was helpful. It was quite straightforward once we knew, but not obvious from the road.
Lovely location beside Loch Fyne. This property is beautifully decorated and has it's own parking. The Lady who runs it is delightful and extremely kind and helpful. The room was clean, with a spacious bathroom, and the bed was a super comfortable 4 poster. The breakfast was amazing! Everything you could ask for - cereals, fresh fruit, cheeses, meats, fish, pastries... and the offer of a cooked breakfast too if desired. Great coffee and tea and a view over the loch from the dining room. Perfect.

United KingdomNothing. For me it was perfect. My room was on second floor up a spiral staircase which would not be suitable for some elderly or infirm guests. Not a criticism just a practical issue to consider for some.
Beautiful house. Lovely owners. Stunning room with sea view and huge en suite. Great continental breakfast with cooked option too.

The Old Rectory is in a prime location for all that Inveraray has to offer visitors. The room we were given had brilliant views of the loch and 3 large windows to further enhance the room's period features. Pride of place stands the most comfortable bed which occupies an elevated position in the very large room. It also has a very comfy sofa in prime position at the window on the lochside. The shower room also shares this view and contains a modern walkin shower and state of the art amenities. Both rooms have working shutters on the windows for privacy and tea and coffee making facilities. Our breakfast choices had everything you could possibly request, both cooked scottish and continental were catered for by our lovely host who was very friendly and knowledgeable A Masterpiece!!

United KingdomComfortable room on the second floor, overlooking the loch. The breakfast was outstanding, easily the best we have ever had in a B&B. There was an enormous choice of delicious food on the buffet plus the option of a cooked breakfast. The hosts were very friendly and attentive and the location was good, within easy range of the ferry terminal at Oban. We will certainly return the next time we are in the area!
