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 KingdomJust a couple of minor comments. Our room looked straight out to a small lawn and patio. It would have been nice to have access to this from our room to sit outside and enjoy the outdoors from the comfort of our room. Food for thought perhaps for the future. The swimming pool also closed very early at 6pm so we were not able to make use of this.
Drimsynie Estate is clearly a great place for all ages be it a large family or a romantic couple. So much to do and incredible views. Staff are so friendly and helpful and glad to answer any queries you have. Check in was brisk and easy. Our room was spacious and immaculate with plenty of great extra touches like the coffee machine and soaps etc. Restaurant was great value with a delicious Roast on a Sunday with again wonderful views while you ate.

United KingdomIt would be lovely to have a spa centre rather than the jacuzzi being in the main pool. Somewhere to relax.
The whole experience was very good. Had food in the restaurant on the evening which was also excellent. The views were spectacular. All the staff were super friendly and helpful.

United KingdomThe only issue we had, which would make me seriously think about not using booking.com again, was that when we booked it said that breakfast was available and that we could pay at the property for a price of £9.95. We assumed that meant for £9.95 per head we would be able to have whatever we wanted for breakfast (the same as if it had been included in the price). When we arrived for breakfast we explained that that was what our booking had said and the waiter said we could have anything we wanted. However, it later turned out we were supposed to pay full price. This is very misleading on the behalf of Booking.com and disappointing that despite enquiring before we ordered that we were then misled/misinformed by a member of Drimsynie staff. He did take 25% off, however that was still more than we were expecting to pay.
The rooms are lovely. Breakfast was very good. Dinner was good.

United KingdomThis is just a personal thing, but the mattress was far too firm for me! However, I do like a really soft mattress and I'm sure most people would find it comfortable.
The location was stunning, but what made it so special was the staff! They were not only unbelievably helpful, but they genuinely seemed to care and enjoy their jobs. We never experienced one member of staff who didn't go above and beyond!

United KingdomWhen checking in it would have been helpful if they had told us times for things like breakfast and checkout. They just told us our room number and how to get to it but no other helpful details about our stay. The bedding was stained but clearly washed. The rooms were roasting hot! We went when it was around 0° outside and we kept the window open 24/7 and it was still ridiculously hot. Food was okay but nothing special.
A beautiful location! The rooms were nice and modern. Good shower. Great facilities on site, especially if you have a family. Pool was great, not too busy in the evening. We will definitely be back but maybe look at the cabins next time. Staff always happy to answer our questions.

United KingdomThe restaurant evening meal and following day's breakfast were both sub standard. Macaroni sauce was lumpy and didn't taste of cheese. The breakfast cooked sausage , bacon, egg was over cooked, and could not be eaten. On getting another, it was not much better. Very disappointing. !
We had visited last year and decided to return for an overnight stay before heading to a long weekend in Oban.
