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...).

United StatesThe only other thing that I would have enjoyed having is a fan upstairs for sleeping.
This property was incredible! The pictures were very accurate, it was clean, it smelld great, it was cozy, and it was an overall great experience. The hosts were both incredible and went out of their way to make our experience perfect. I would absolutely stay here again. We were greeted by Mairi and were given the keys and a walkthrough of the property. She gave us a full list of recommendations of things to see, places to eat, and information about Ballachulish. You can tell a lot of thought and planning were put into designing this location, and it really paid off! The town of Ballachulish is charming, the scenery is breathtaking everywhere you go, and there were great meal options as well. 10/10 would recommend. Definitely do yourself a favor and book this place!

United KingdomIf I had to be picky, no shower gel or bubble bath supplied but shampoo was oddly. Some lights in the kitchen/ living room area would not turn on but there was great lamps and mood lighting. Felt check in time was a little late (4pm) and check out a little early (10am) but I understand that's the standard and this was clearly communicated.
Fresh decor, cosy, all mod cons, bath was great, TV was great. Great selection of teas/coffees biscuits etc. Area was in a good location. Place was very clean. Gentleman on the phone when we arrived was very clear with instructions and very polite. Residence is dog friendly.

United StatesOwner would NOT allow our friends come over for morning coffee. So if you’re traveling with another person staying at a different location, this place is not for you if you want to spend time with them at the Bagpipers apartment.
Would rate accommodations a 5 star out of 5. Clean, comfortable bed. Recently remodeled!!

United KingdomNothing really! If have to say, maybe there’s no sofa but two armchairs?
Very true to the pictures shown on the website, very new and clean and it has everything you need! Very quiet and peaceful location. Close to the bus station (to all the main cities and attraction spots) which takes only 5mins ish walk, to the Co-op takes about 15mins walk. Staff was very helpful and friendly! :) Thanks for the hospitality.

Our host was communicative and really went above and beyond to deliver our keys on arrival. We had intermittent phone reception and he used three different communication methods to track us down. The home is beautifully renovated with innovative design choices making the most of the space. The bedroom upstairs is absolutely diving. Overall we found this to be the best accommodation we had on our 4 weeks trip around Scotland. The perfect place to unwind and forget about it all, whilst still being close to everything we needed.

It is beautiful, and very comfortable. We loved having the washing machine as an extra bonus.

Everything! This is a fabulous apartment, finished to a really exceptionally high standard, with a huge wall mounted tv, mood lighting at ceiling level, a Nespresso coffee machine, with pods provided, along with shortbread, snacks etc. The bedroom is amazing, with a roll top bath and a large, very comfortable bed. The bathroom is downstairs. It has a walk in shower and under floor heating.

ZimbabweOverall, we found the accommodation to be wonderfully suited to our needs. The only small thing we would change is to have a slightly earlier check in time eg 2 pm. Other than that, everything was perfect.
Craig Moray Cottage An immaculate, self-catering cosy cottage within easy reach of the various attractions in Ballachulish, including the local Co-Op. This lovely and comfortable accommodation was one of the few places that actually allowed us to stay one night only, as most places have a 2 night minimum stay requirement. Thank goodness we found this little place! We were so comfortable there and had everything we needed. We would go back in a heartbeat! A huge thank you to Anthony and Mairi.
