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...).

United KingdomNo hair dryer - and for the first time ever, I hadn't brought mine!
Craigadam is a unique and lovely farmhouse hotel with a very high standard of food, service, and nice rooms in a quiet and gorgeous location. Our evening meal was of a standard one rarely experiences these days. I find it difficult to eat out but Celia had taken the trouble to work with my awkward dietary issues and provided lovely, tasty food.- A huge boon to me - thank you. The long table means you can chat and swap information about local finds with other travelers. Loved it!

United KingdomNo evening meals offerred (which was known about when booking) and good restaurants were some miles away. The local pub served well-cooked food in the bar area which was OK if the pub was quiet but not if at a busy time.
The lovely location of the hotel. The room was very spacious, warm and had a very good en-suite bathroom. Parking right outside the door of the bedroom. Breakfasts were very good.

United KingdomA rather cool welcome but things improved by morning. The dining is at one sitting and at one large dining table which may not suit everyone. It is a shared experience. The toilet in our bathroom was stained. Craigadam is a working farm which might explain the flies in the room 2 alive one dead. The annex has steep stairs so ask for a courtyard room if this is a problem.
Craigadam is an unusually attractive farmhouse, home and hotel. Lovely wood panelled dining room with adjoining snooker room with full sized table so the fun for me was the snooker contest! There’s a comfortable lounge for use after dinner all beautifully decorated and homely. The food was very good. Excellent sauces and some original dishes such as the croissant egg and lemon pudding! Good choice of breakfast foods nicely cooked. Fresh homemade bread.

United KingdomCheck in was quite bizarre. not very welcoming and then being pounced on to make our breakfast choices before we'd even got our bags out of the car seemed very awkward. Bathroom wasn't very clean.lots of black hair left in the bath. Some nice old furniture but mixed with 1970's formica unit to house the TV. and very dated bathroom. Breakfast was perfectly pleasant but not anywhere near the quality we were given to expect from past reviews..
The courtyard was very pretty and beautifully maintained. Beds quite comfy.

United KingdomIn our room the shower cubicle was very small and cramped - rally rather too cramped for a property at this level of the market. We had dinner the first night, which was quite good, but decidedly overpriced for what it was.
The location is beautiful and the property is attractive. The setting, near Dumfores, is quite convenient. My duagher very much appreciated the farm animals. The breakfasts were good.

United KingdomWe booked through a last minute online Booking.com deal. The proprietor warned us that the price quoted had been a mistake, and we were given the option of cancelling or paying more. I would advise potential visitors to check with the hotel, if booking online or by mobile. We stayed in the Victorian room, which, while stylish, might present bed and bath height difficulties to any guest with mobility problems.
Lovely location., with a beautiful courtyard garden, where guests can sit out for tea or a drink in the evening. Very quiet and peaceful. Breakfast was excellent, with homemade jam and delicious freshly baked bread on offer, among other tasty options.

AustraliaThe only thing I didn’t like was that we were only there for one night. Longer would have been so much better.
Large beautifully decorated room opening onto extremely pretty courtyard behind a large attractive country house. Our hostess, Cecilia was welcoming, thoughtful, charming and friendly. Breakfast in the family dining room was an experience in itself. The tariff was extremely modest considering the quality of the accommodation.
