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 KingdomThere were just a few things, as we had a dog, we had a dog friendly lodge, but it was at the bottom and by the road which was very noisy. I felt it could do with a waste bin the bedrooms and the second bedroom could also have a television.
The property was wonderful, it was luxury, had everything that you want, the beds were comfortable the separate bathroom had a roll top bath and a separate shower. It was spacious and all 4 adults and a dog did not feel like it was too small.

United KingdomUnfortunately, through no fault of the hosts. The group in the neighbouring lodge had their dogs running about the grounds unsupervised, we were sitting on the decking, but it was yapping so we went inside and left the doors to the decking open. Dog stopped yapping but ended up coming into our lodge and doing the toilet. We cleaned it up whilst the owners eventually shouted on their dog.
Lodge was beautiful, grounds lovely and clean. Everything you could possibly need to hand.

Canadawas very warm, and all fans were taken by other units, however we were in the middle of an unseasonably hot heat wave.
The lodge we had (8) was very spacious and had a large deck. It was perfect for our family. The staff were very friendly and happy to help in any way.

United StatesThe only negative was that our particular cabin was located next to the road so there was traffic noise in the bedrooms while trying to sleep. The common areas were quiet all the time.
The cabin was lovely. Very clean, well-equipped, modern, spacious, had everything you would want.

United KingdomEverything was pretty spot on but there was no complimentary shower gel/shampoo which is normally included and could’ve done with a couple of baking trays in the cabin.
Amazing well kept cabin with plenty of space and a tonne of amenities. Cosy and comfy. TVs, fireplace and a lovely terrace at the front to enjoy the weather. Plenty of kitchen utensils for the self catering and a great location (a short walk from the loch).

United KingdomCheck in was very late and check out quite early. Would also have been a better touch to have included hand soap/basic toiletries as we felt this was the only thing missing within the cabin! Also the price to add on dogs was extremely steep, £50 for the first dog and an extra £25 on top for any additional, we felt for the price paid for the cabin this could’ve been reduced.
The cabins themselves were absolutely stunning, very roomy, modern and comfortable, we were in awe when we first arrived- the space is used so well and the facilities within the cabin were brilliant!

United KingdomIt's very close to the A82 - which is great for getting to places but is a very busy road, so challenging to turn out (especially turning right!) and also some traffic noise (although we quickly adjusted to this, and our lodge was one of those closest to the road, so this would not be an issue in many of the lodges).
Really lovely lodge - very clean, cleverly designed, lots of storage and good facilities (washing machine, dishwasher etc ). Very good sized rooms and lovely bathrooms. Everything worked as it should and the location was very well placed for exploring the area. Would definitely go back.

United KingdomOur lodge was near the main road which kept us awake even with windows closed at night.
Immaculate lodge, fully equipped with everything you'd need for a family stay. Very spacious lodge, comfortable beds, powerful shower and lovely big bath tub. Living room area was very cosy, good lighting, kitchen was perfectly equipped, dining area ideal too. Extremely happy overall, just wish we could have stayed longer. We have recommended to family and friends and will definitely be staying here again.

United KingdomThe charge of £50 for a 3 night stay for a dog. Which was NOT mentioned on Booking.com website. It states a fee will be charged, but no amount t mentioned . Also this fee is apparently standard whether 3 nights or 14 nights?? It's for "cleaning " the lodge apparently? I questioned the lodge cleaning should be very thorough, regardless of a pet or not! It definitely does NOT merit this charge ( just for the record , I did find one area which had never seen a cloth, in the kitchen? so much for deep cleaning). This cost NEEDS to be addressed. What an absolute rip off.😡. Also there own website mentions a restaurant, there wasn't one? Was told it closed 2 years ago? Absolutely NOTHING near by who accept dogs.
