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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

United KingdomAbsolutely nothing!!
Our stay at Loch Aweside Forest Cabins was everything we hoped it would be and more. The cabin was clean and homely, with everything we could have possibly needed during our stay. Our children loved their bedrooms and the hot tub! The location was amazing, the site was clean and peaceful, and the cabin's wonderful supply of books and games provided the fantastic foundation for a perfect family holiday. Thank you SO much!

Booked a 2 night stay for our sons 16th as he just wanted a quiet fishing trip. Sadly didn't catch any fish but we had the loveliest family break. Such a beautiful cabin with stunning views. Amenities where fab and the place was cosy (the log fire helped this) bird food was even provided so you can fill the feeders and watch the many birds that came to visit. Lovely cafe and shop just at the end of the site and a restaurant serving lovely food too in the centre. Would definitely book again

United KingdomThe water pressure in the shower was a bit lacklustre but wasn’t particularly bothersome, we also couldn’t get the side door to lock at night we’re unsure if the lock was dodgy or if it was just human error, but that was my only issue.
It was spacious, warm, we had a large tv that must have been upgraded since the photos were taken which was a nice surprise. The hot tub was brilliant, and it felt very private and secluded at night as there was no overhead lights to shine on us. The log fire was great and overall the facilities were fantastic.

United KingdomWe went in winter so the hot tub needed all the wood we were given to get it up to temperature on the first night, then had to buy 3 more bags.
Amazing location, plenty to do and see near by and loved the lodge. Hot tub was great once it was up to temperature.

United KingdomBe prepared for the road to the site. This information should not detract you from the amazing Cabin, the beautiful Loch Awe, the village of Dalavich, the scenery etc. but you have to bear in mind that depending on which direction you travel from the last 12 to 15 miles is a single track road with passing places which takes 25 to 30 minutes to drive. If you do it in the dark it is frightening, if you are in anyway car sick it's gonna get you, so the best advice is to prepare really well. Try and take as many of the provisions you will need to avoid having to keep travelling out to the bigger towns. It should be celebrated how remote this place is, this is why I went there, you can switch off from the outside world and really relax, but if you are planning on travelling everyday you have to plan this in...
The beds were so comfortable nobody wanted to get up in morning. The heating was incredibly efficient and the cabin was always toasty (we stayed over Christmas btw). The cabin was the furthest North on the site so we were able to step out of the cabin and straight into the forest with the dogs. Just a couple of minutes walk to the Loch's edge or up into the hills it was great. The kitchen was well stocked with all the utensils a family could need. The little fireside area outside was a nice touch. If you like being near to or on the water, fishing, hiking or just hiding away it's perfect....
