How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

The only down side is we have to leave.
The location is perfect, such a lovely little village. The room was spotless, the bed was super comfy. The staff are so very welcoming. We spent a few hours in the Inn having wonderful food, breakfast was superb, made to order, you can tell the best of ingredients are used. It was a lovely atmosphere, sat beside the fire, so chilled. We would definitely recommend a stay here and we would absolutely come back again.

Sense of tiredness throughout and a lack of staff (only the owners coping) was a shame, but reasons were obvious. Not open for 3 days a week and even then only from 4 pm. No late opening - for us, and I would imagine for most, this was not an issue.
Excellent reception from Mark & Audrey (owners). Very welcoming and attentive. Sad that the future for this hostelry is in some doubt as current owners selling up. The room we occupied was very clean and comfortable. Slept well in the very comfortable bed. Room facilities included a fridge and well stocked tea and coffee makings. Breakfast (included in price ) was very good and plentiful. An evening meal was available within the bar, and although the menu was basic, there was enough choice and was plentiful and enjoyable. It's great that the hotel was extremely dog friendly.

Nothing! Except I left something in the room and it was hard to reenter…my bad.
The owners Mark and Audry were delightful. I had forgotten some REALLY important meds from the US and Audry was REALLY helpful in navigating how to replace them in Scotland! The rooms are old, but clean and comfortable and the breakfast great. The pub perfect.

- • Couple
- • Standard King Room

The pub didn’t open until 4 - and that included access for guests. We arrived soaking wet on a Wednesday at 2.30pm. The cafe everyone seemed to recommend was closed on Wednesdays. There was a small shop open nearby and the lady there kindly told us we could shelter in the village Hall. The other negative about The White Stag is that they seemed very strict on timings for meals etc. - even though there were probably only about 4 people staying - and they only offered food to residents. While we were eating, a blackboard appeared on the bar saying last orders was at 8.45. This seemed very strange as there were only 3 or 4 people in and they could have just told us! Having said that - the meal was very good.
The room was comfortable and clean. The evening meal and beer were really good. Breakfast too was good. The location was handy as we were walking the Rob Roy Way and it is right on the route.
