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 KingdomThe heater was switching off at night which was making the whole cabin very cold.
The location was very good if you are driving a car. It is a good walk from the A82 exit if you dont have a car. Very close to all the spots on A82 Location is very good for astrophotography

United KingdomCaravan in a great location. Check in and out was easy and dog friendly. Managers had left dog bowls and some treats for our dog, which she loved. Kitchen well equipt. After a few hours drive we were delighted to see that coffee/tea and milk were sitting waiting and a few biscuits too. Great few from the lounge, looking straight onto a field with several cows and sheep and enjoyed seeing the farmer coming every morning to feed them. Caravan was spotless and shower was amazing but just be careful to get the temperture right before jumping in. Managers are friendly and welcoming. Hoping to be back very soon

Cosy cabin perfect hideaway in Glencoe. Great base for exploring the area. Stayed in the Bidean cabin which was very pleasant for a couple. Underfloor heating and good cooking facilities made it perfect for nights in. Beautiful views nearby. Would be lovely in the summer too as there is space for a barbecue. Recommended. Briefly met the host too who was very pleasant.

United KingdomThere was pet hair from a previous guest in the caravan. I think it was coming from the carpet and the sofa which was sticking to our clothes and my baby.
The location was beautiful and so was the view. Quiet and peaceful with amazing mountain views outside the caravan. The heating worked really well and the shower had good water pressure. WiFi had a strong signal.

United KingdomWe stayed in log cabin. Everything is clean and cozy, we stayed with our dog, so we were extremely surprised to see the bowls, few poo bags and treat when we enter, for those who might have run out or forgotten that is a great saver! The place is lovely inside and outside, has literally everything, we were cooking everyday and it has everything you need for a stay. The location is amazing, you can just start walks from your little house. The trails are a lot more difficult as we stayed in December, hoping for snow, but it was raining every day. So we haven’t done much, as some of the routes were dangerous. The shop is few min drive from the base. Haven’t used the washing facilities. We really enjoyed our stay and hoping to come back with better weather.

United KingdomMe and my partner came in by walk from the bus station at Glencoe Village so its little bit tiring for us bcs we had a lot of things that we bought, but its not a big problem since we love walking. Its better to bring your own car to come here. Overall the place was clean, a lot of amenities, and the view from the log cabin was OG.
