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.).

Absolutely loved staying at Springkell - it was a real treat for our one night stop off. Staff and owner were very attentive and kind. Very good value, and we rather enjoyed having the place almost to ourselves. Food was really tasty. We booked the honeymoon suite - HUGE room, lovely view, bath with lashings of hot water. Couldn't have been happier. Dinner and breakfast in the ballroom.

United KingdomOur heated towel rail wasn't working for the first night so the bathroom was very cold but the staff offered us a room change which we declined so they fixed the towel rail for us. Very efficient. Also a little niggle... would have liked some fresh fruits, granola etc on breakfast table, and no marmalade for toast? All very minor though,would definitely recommend and stay again at this beautiful hotel.
The setting, the house and the garden and grounds are absolutely stunning. The staff are super friendly and helpful and the cooked Scottish breakfast was delicious 😋

A little hotel out of the way, in fact we had a little trouble finding it, but when we did “wow”. A fantastic country house, with beautiful rooms. The dinner and breakfast was fantastic. Amazing, thankyou. To top it off we saw lambs in raincoats, too cute!

United KingdomI really couldn't fault this hotel. If I was being especially pedantic, it was a little bit cooler than ideal in the sitting room, so would have been nice to have the fire on. But the staff were clearly very busy (as you'd expect on a friday evening) so this shouldn't have been a priority.
An enchanting building, with staff working extremely hard to provide an exceptional experience for their guests. Everyone was extremely welcoming and friendly throughout our stay. The building has been sympathetically restored and maintained and this is reflected in the comfort and ambience throughout the house. The food in the evening and at breakfast was superb, and the wine list had some real gems. I could not recommend Springkell enough!

United KingdomWould appreciate decaf coffee in the room. Ensuite really needs a stronger extractor fan as it gets very bad condensation which drips from the towel rail onto the floor after shower use. It could do with something to put clothes/suitcase on .. perhaps a lower chest of drawers.
Lovely quiet location. Comfy bed and massage head shower. Fluffy bath sheets.

United KingdomNothing could have been better.
A wonderful location, it is easy to understand why it is so popular for weddings and occasions. The staff were super friendly, Robert called me on the way there and arranged something for me to eat, as I was arriving late. Little things that make a huge difference. I have booked twice more already, that says it all, I think.

United KingdomOnly that we didn’t get to spend enough time exploring the grounds
The property is beautiful, really well looked after with a great combination of period features and modern comforts. The while team were really friendly and did all they could to make our stay great. The communication was really positive too, (even though we booked last minute on a Saturday night) additional directions were really useful and made sure we found the property without issue - we’ll definitely stay again if we’re in the area

All was great - staff were fantastic, so welcoming and attentive. The food was delicious - and amazing value. The room was wonderful and the bed so comfortable. The property is charming - with a function room, ballroom, games room and on it goes. Expansive and well kept grounds and so secluded. This was such a lucky find - we were just stopping over on our drive up to the Highlands. We will certainly be back.
