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...).

CanadaOur main concern was the lack of communication from the property regarding the fact that all amenities (including the pool) were closed during our stay, and that our booking was "room only." We really would have liked to have been notified of this in advance, as having the pool option (in particular) was one of the reasons we chose the property. Closing the pool (and other amenities) over the holiday period in December is reasonable, but should have been communicated to us prior to our arrival. The room (Glasgow House) was fine enough, but was more on par with a budget hotel room (think Comfort Inn) in terms of furnishings, finishes, and cleanliness. The furnishings were a bit dated, there was staining in the bathtub and on the ceiling/walls in the bathroom (particularly in the tub area). Some of the paint in the corners of the room was peeling. We were satisfied enough (and did not complain) because of the off-season rate (about $175 per night taxes included), but would not have wanted to pay more given what was offered.
The location was easy to find. The staff we met (James) was absolutely lovely - we had a late-ish check-in and he phoned our room before he left for the evening to make sure that we got in okay. That was much appreciated. The beds were comfortable enough. We appreciated that the room did not have carpet (laminate floor).

United StatesThe room we had is very outdated. Furniture and curtains are not worn still appear good although old. They did renovate the shower/bathtub. Nothing else. The TV is so small that you have to strain to watch it. However, the worst part was under the beds. My small dog went under the bed and came out black. I looked with my flashlight on my phone and was disgusted to see the hair/lint and dirt. They did sent someone promptly to clean but it was not done properly. So I pushed the beds (on rollers) and got down on my hands and knees and washed the floor. Not only under the bed but all the floor was black. Also, the night table had items in it from previous guests as well as an old bandaid stuck to the side of it. While the hotel looks nice from the outside be aware that some buildings are better kept that others so ask how recent they are. Some of the buildings are in need of a little love and care inside. As a property manager myself of short term rentals I suspect that no one is inspecting after the housekeepers and no deep cleans have been done during the season. Also when towels get yellow, we replace them. We had a set of very apparent yellow towels along white ones.
Lovely location, resort with indoor pool, Jacuzzi and sauna. Staff super friendly. The main lobby/restaurant seems new and would recommend staying in that building. The restaurant staff super nice and food is good. Complaints are handled politely and promptly.

CanadaUpon entering our room it smelled musty and the smell did not go away. They would be better to rip out the carpets and lay a hard service flooring that can be cleaned properly. The tv was not plugged in (I had to move the armoire away from the wall to investigate) The bedside lights did not work (the cord was broken and not attached) and the bed sank into the middle. Perhaps when the rooms are cleaned in-between bookings they should do a check of all these things). We loved the access and location of our room but it is obviously an older building and needs work and a good scraping of paint on the outside and a redo of the paint. The POS terminals in the restaurant had a price update but the menus didn't. (That is a definite no no). When we went to the lakeside restaurant we were abruptly stopped at the door before I could even get it opened and ask if we were from the resort, did we have reservations and that they had no room for us. It was completely empty inside and on the patio and the waitress at the main house said we should be okay without a reservation on that day. There were a few buses there that day but it could have been handled differently.
The resort has beautiful grounds and a great location. I liked the front desk person, he was very friendly, personable and very efficient. He actually called our room to make sure we got in okay. The servers did their best despite the fact that they were extremely understaffed on such a busy week. We actually felt bad for them.

United KingdomThe room I was given in the Culloden building needs refreshed. It was looking tired and showing signs that maintenance wasn't being done. Shower head was coming away from the wall leaving a hole, curtains were missing and the wall full of holes where the pole used to be - should have been filled in. Main room light had been removed, but part of fitting remained, so the initial impression of the room was very dark. Not helped by dated furniture. The first impression of the room really wasn't great - and these are all minor things that should have been easily spotted and fixed. It's a shame because the common areas, and exteriors of the buildings looked freshly painted and well looked after. Felt cheeky they charged extra for parking when the property clearly had loads of space, and is so remote I struggle to imagine many visitors arriving without a car. Combined with the issues in the room I'd probably choose somewhere else to stay if I was back in the area.
It's a nice location for kicking off a road trip around the Cabot Trail. Room was comfortable and clean, but needed some TLC. Location was good for wandering around the town. Enjoyed being able to walk down to the waters edge. Bar staff were friendly - common areas looked well kept.
