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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

ItalyThe flat was not as clean as we would have liked. There was some dust a bit everywhere, especially in the corners (and it looked like it had been there for a while). The kitchen was also not super clean, especially inside the drawers/cabinets. I would recommend a deep cleaning of the whole apartment more often. The WiFi didn't work at all, but for us it was not a big problem. Overall, the building is a bit old and it would need some renovation and a good layer of fresh paint, but it was fine to stay for one night.
The house is located just a few minutes away from the harbour, with a beautiful view on the beach. We had the ground floor apartment, which was very big and comfortable for two people. I would recommend the place for a short stay in Brodick.

United KingdomNo soundproofing on the door meaning I was woken up at 1:30am by a really rowdy loud group in the reception area right outside my door that meant I couldn’t get back to sleep 😞 Otherwise it would have been a 9 instead of a 7.
Room was really well appointed, cosy & comfortable. Plus sea view!

United KingdomFor the price no complaints. Not the most up-to-date but everything worked fine.
Good value apartment - bigger than expected. Very convenient location for buses, shops and ferry. Check-in and out straightforward and was shown around the apartment on arrival. I was at the back and top of the building but still had views along to the ferry port and distant mainland Ayrshire beyond, as well as to the hills above Glen Rosa.

United KingdomOne window grate in the bedroom would not shut and so we could hear the wind at night, but this was mostly only due to the weather being so crazy.
Our second time staying at The Shorehouse. We love it for its convenient location being in Brodick and how laid back the owners are. Keys are left out on the desk with your name and floor/room number, making it easy to quickly drop off bags in room and get back out to explore Arran. We love that it is more of an apartment than a hotel room, very convenient for making dinner after a day of walking/hiking. There is also a comfy sofa and TV, which come in handy for dark evenings in if you're staying in the darker months like we have done the past three years. Due to extreme weather our ferry was cancelled the day before we were supposed to leave and the owners were really helpful, informing us of what they knew and allowing us to continue to occupy the room past check-out on the day of while we waited to hear if we could get an evening ferry (we did end up leaving that evening luckily) and in case we needed to stay another night or more. Would highly recommend for couples and solo travellers.

United KingdomMore of an improvement rather than a dislike, is the bedroom next to the bathroom, the mattress wasn’t as comfy as the one in the bedroom next to the living room. Also if we were staying longer a bath would have been amazing as we were travelling with young children.
Plenty of parking space. Close to the beach. Close to ferry. The bedroom in the cottage closest to the living room was really comfy. Some cleaning products were left, which was very handy. Lots of space inside the cottage. That dogs are allowed. Budget friendly property, great value for money.

United KingdomThe shower wasn't as powerful as it should be.
A great location with welcoming staff and lovely hounds. It was a five minute walk from the ferry and all bus routes which was great as our car booking on Calmac hadn't worked! The kitchen was small but had a full cooker, fridge-freezer, kettle, microwave etc. There's a large Coop two minutes away so we didn't need to eat out every day. It was lovely having a sea view and watching the changing weather. The apartment had been painted this year and was looking good. We even had six beds for four of us, so we could spread out. If we ever come back to Arran I would happily stay at the Shorehouse again. Many thanks Jim.
