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.).

SwedenThe cleaning was not good, very dusty and the air was stuffy. Neither the bedroom nor bathroom had been properly dusted for a long time. We also got upgraded to the "honeymoon suite", which included a jacuzzi, and I would have expected this to be especially clean, but it wasn't. The place is quite old so it does need some renovation.
This place definitely is that old type of lodge you'd expect to stay in a historical place like Blair Atholl. It's cosy hotell, good pub food, nice staff and absolutely excellent breakfast!

United KingdomFantastic old Scottish building with lots of charm. Great onsite pub serving hearty Scottish meals. A superb location for visiting the area. Parking on site always a bonus. The staff are genuinely welcoming and attentive, especially the Manager who sorted an issue for us very professionally. Our room we had at the front of the hotel was spacious and comfy. Loved the authenticity of the hotel bar and hall areas.

United KingdomAs a recall the menu choice for dinner was much better last year. This year it seemed to be more 'chippy'. Also the draught beer choice was almost non-existant.
I like the ambiance of this hotel and the attitude of the staff is excellent. In certain aspects the hotel is looking a little dated with some remedial updating and decoration in order.

I liked nearly everything. The only thing i didn’t like was walking upstairs with my luggage, but it is an old building so can’t expect elevators. Beds were comfy and we appreciated the historic aspect of it. There are not enough outlets, so maybe they could do something about that. We, however, four of us, were very happy overall.

The hotel is beautiful. Staff were very welcoming and thoughtful. The dining room is spectacular and breakfast well cooked with high quality ingredients. Beautiful area with lots of places to walk. Friendly and relaxed. We will definitely go back. The room we had was very inexpensive so we didn't expect too much, but the room although small was spotless, well appointed and very comfortable.

MaltaSome people might not like the creaky floors, but it's an old building and that's part of the experience. Maybe breakfast could run till a bit later, 8-9.30 is quite early when you're on holiday.
Loved the old world atmosphere- she's a grand old lady who might not be as glamorous as she used to be, but still has charm and style.

United KingdomAtholl Arms is a genuinely nice place to stay. You get a friendly welcome and everything is clean and comfortable The bar and waiting staff are exceptional, very attentive and friendly whilst being efficient at the same time and the food served is wonderful. There are great cooks in that kitchen. The breakfast was superb Our wee dog was made welcome. Yes, this hotel could do with a bit of updating but it all adds to the charm and in this day and age, the busyness of the Atholl Arms Hotel tells me a whole lot of other folk think the same

United KingdomHard to get hot water that morning
Our rooms were at the top. Comfortable rooms with lovely views but a lot of stairs. Excellent breakfast in a beautiful dining room, and very good dinner in The Bothy Bar. The Water Mill was the most superb visit. Only five minutes walk from the hotel: it’s worth choosing The Atholl Arms for an overnight stay just for this!

United KingdomNo WiFi in my room. Breakfast could perhaps be over a longer timeframe....09:30 is a bit early to stop serving.... people may well want a bit of a lie in on holiday.
Staff were very accommodating.... both to myself, asking for a drink at the bar at about 1 minute to closing time, and to the folks who came into breakfast a good 10 minutes late.
