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 use a weighted review system which means that 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 KingdomThere was a 'small' midge problem which meant I was bitten very badly despite the citronella candles. It wasn't nearly as good as the pictures made out. The caravan (well whole park) are a bit on the old, tired side. There were black mould stains on the bathroom blind, bedroom curtains and the headboard, however, the caravan was clean. These items should be replaced. It was quite far - at least a 40min drive to get to the shops or petrol station.
The caravan was clean. The owner was friendly, we weren't hassled and the park itself was quiet. I think they allow pets as I saw a dog walker. The little shop on-site was handy and even though it was closed for the day when we arrived, we were allowed to buy a couple bits. Literally in the middle of no-where.

United KingdomWe are used to rural water pressure being poor, but with fabulous pressure on the cold water, the dribble of warm water was very disappointing in the shower. A warm shower was needed when we got back to the caravan in late October! Also, please make it clear on your website that you get a caravan if you book a 2-bed, not the nice spacious cabins that all your photos and descriptions show.
Beautiful rural location, very peaceful and quiet. You get what you pay for; we paid a very reasonable amount and got basic, clean accommodation. It was tired and dated, but clean and well maintained.

United KingdomThe lodge was a little worn and tired in places, for us we found it perfect, so it wasn't a negative. Everything was clean and well presented. Our teens were dismayed at the lack of WiFi, and absolutely no EE signal, so be prepared if you need that to enjoy your stay.
Beautiful, quiet, and peaceful location. The lodge was spacious and had everything we needed. It's a great spot to be out of the way but also able to explore the larger area of Scotland. If you like quietness and time away from civilisation, then this is perfect.

United KingdomThe hot water was temperamental. Some times it worked perfectly, but often we could not get hot water out of the shower, or it would get hot and then switch to ice cold half way through. Very frustrating. Not sure what is happening at this site, the caravan side seem to be in managed decline. Over 75% of the vans are derelict with boarded up windows and rotten decking. The sooner these wrecked caravans are removed the better. It resembled a strap yard in places. That being said, the actual grounds were well kept and it did have a certain charm..but I think it's a shadow of its former self.
The valley is quiet and very relaxing. The caravan itself was dated, but clean. The heating worked well and kitchen had all basic amenities. The water out of the taps was amazing

United KingdomThe cottages were not properly cleaned. The rooms had a noticeable lack of attention to detail, and we found things like dust and unkempt areas, which is disappointing for any guest. However, the worst part of the experience was the behavior of the staff. Despite informing them in advance about our arrival time, the staff was not welcoming at all and was extremely rude and used foul language (specifically, F words) in front of ladies, which was completely unacceptable and disgusting.
The location was the only redeeming quality of our stay. It’s set in a beautiful area. Unfortunately, everything else was a letdown.
