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 KingdomButt Lodge is in a superb location and has a lovely homely feel as soon as you walk through the door. The hosts couldn't be more helpful, kind and informative and the cooked breakfasts and evening meals are just superb. We had 2 dogs with us who were also made welcome and it was great to walk out to stunning countryside and coastline.

Mac and Cath are very friendly and welcoming. The facilities are of a high standard and the location beautiful. We had a meal and breakfast and the catering was excellent. It is a good place for an evening walk to see seals, deer and maybe a red squirrel.,

United KingdomAlthough our room was small, we knew this in advance and it was very well presented and clean. The owners are very warm and welcoming and we had a lovely evening meal, which must be booked in advance. Breakfast was excellent too. Our room had a lovely view over the golf course and the hills/mountain beyond. It was just a short walk along the lane to the sea.

United KingdomButt Lodge is amazing. The hosts Cath and Mac are extremely friendly and Mac is an amazing chef -- the breakfasts and dinner were really nice. The location is beautiful and the rooms are clean and large. I particular liked the little touches: proper fresh juice, homemade jam/marmalade, nice soft towels. They even made flapjacks for us for our hike up the mountain.

United KingdomShower entry was tight and difficult. That is my only negative observation.
Catch & Mac were great hosts. The setting is second to none and the home made food was excellent and far better than I have had at so called high end restaurants. We will be back

United KingdomA wonderful place to stay. Cath and Mac were so welcoming and accommodating. The room was great and there is a lovely lounge area to enjoy a glass of wine in. Breakfast in the morning was fantastic, and I very much recommend the overnight oats. All in all a lovely place and highly recommended.

United KingdomI had a lovely stay at Butt Lodge. Mac's beautifully prepared meals and Cath's hostessing skills make for a dream team. Lochranza is such a pictureque and peaceful area. My room was perfect and well located for seeing the deer, and I also really enjoyed seeing the seals and birdlife on my coastal walk. Thanks too for the help with Storm Kathleen!

United KingdomOnly problem was a very tight shower as my partner is a larger gentleman. It was a little snug even for me. Difficult to pick up the soap if you dropped it. Lovely Arran aromatics in the bathroom.
Location was spectacular. Entrance a bit hair raising as down a steep track, but we had been warned about this by the hosts. Hosts very welcoming and accommodating.

The hosts were so friendly. They made sure you were looked after but at the same time, gave you sufficient privacy We had dinner and breakfast at the accommodation. The food was the best we had staying in Arran. Much better than other accommodations (including a particular 4 star hotel in Brodick) that we've stayed in Arran. The location was also beautiful and so peaceful too.

Everything about Butt Lodge was wonderful! We stayed 3 nights and wish we could have stayed a week. The room was comfortable and well equipped. The meals were fabulous, and the location was perfect. Staff took care of our every need. Walking was easy and the calmness and quiet at the Lodge was perfect. I couldn't imaging a better place on Arran to stay. I cannot wait to make a trip back.
