Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

We stayed at Burnside again ans everything from the room to the bed it was perfect! The room is nice and cozy and perfect when you travel together! The bed is so comfy, we had the best night sleep since a long time! Ready to continue the roadtrip! All the little touches make it so great, from crisps and oats for the morning and water and milk in the fridge. Also private parking on the property! The host was lovely as well! We will definitely come back here!

New ZealandParking was a bit tricky, but at least there was off street parking which is a big plus. Difficult to find room to lay our trolley bags down (they wouldnt fit in the wardrobe) but not too much of a problem. Checkin was completely contactless, which is fine but it would have been nice if the owners had come down snd introduced themselves briefly. But overall it was all good, definitely recommend.
Had everything we needed plus more! Lovely bathroom and kitchen. Whisky was a lovely touch. Great that it was fully self contained with a washing machine, and nice and warm, and had offstreet parking.

Beautiful quiet location, warm welcome from Doreen. Beautifully decorated big room huge comfortable super king bed, lovely seating area to watch TV which had access to Netflix. Fridge with milk and water, microwave, coffee machine as well as kettle. No breakfast included but the porridge pots were a nice welcome touch.

Lovely quirky property with all teh furniture hand built by teh lovely host who was a wealth of information about the local area. Great spot to stay for a few days to explore the local area either walking or via the lake trips. Nice pub just down the road, local shop nice but very limited supplies so if you plan self catering probable best doing a shop in the last supermarket you pass.

BelgiumThe house was easy to find. The owner was very kind and we liked the place a lot. It was very clean and very comfortable. Very large bad, fridge, tea and coffee provided. Although there is no breakfast, there was instant oats and crisps provided besides tea and coffee. The house is literally 5 minutes drive from the center of Oban (or about 1.5 miles to walk).
