How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewThe location was amazing Interior was clean and modern with everything we needed. Host was great at communicating
Over night with heavy rain two of the bedrooms had leaks in the guttering so was very loud. Also the downpipes are positioned outside the same two bedroom window so you heard water running all night. Apart from disturbed sleep if it happened to rain it was perfect

Verified reviewThe area and the lodge itself was as close to perfection as you can get for a weekend break to relax and spend time with family. The patio with a BBQ was another lovely touch and everything we asked for in terms of a cot and a spare corkscrew was sorted with zero fuss. The lodge had everything and the beach with a jetty and slide for kids was also amazing. We will be back every year after this amazing stay.
Nothing was bad at all.
We are delighted you had a great time. Thank you for the fantastic review. We hope to see you again next year

Verified reviewAbsolutely fantastic accommodation. The location is fabulous. The cabin itself is so cosy and inviting. It had everything and more that we needed. We were two adults and three kids and never felt on top of each other once. It's so peaceful there and you feel so at home. Side note about the area for those wanting to visit - The loch is brilliant especially with the kids with slides at the end. Ben Lomond is literally a stones throw away. There is a small shop next to the hotel down the way but it's limited on stock and ridiculously priced. Bring your own food. The kitchen is fully fitted because you are basically off the grid there (except there is signal and WiFi 🤣) Thank you for a fantastic stay
The double bed was slightly on the firm side but mattresses are a preference and you cannot cater to everyone
Thank you so much for your fantastic review. We are really pleased that you and your family had a great time. We hope to see you again, maybe next year?

Verified reviewLocation, absolutely superb. Lodge was lovely and clean and smelled fresh and welcoming. Instructions for heating and all remotes were all easy to find/understand. Heating was super efficient when needed. Even a welcoming bottle of wine!
Bath towels had been used on the grass and not cleaned off afterwards unfortunately. Restaurant menu flyers need binning, they were literally years out of date! The bins in the utility room could do with info about what goes in each.

Verified reviewThe lodge is nice and clean and warm! Got All the equipments you need. Ben lomond is 3 mins drive and 9 mins walk away!! Conic hill is 20 mins away Superb location!
If anything I can think of is there is no shop nearby but all the other places we looked at are the same. Unless you want to live in the busy town area.

Verified reviewGreat location by the Loch, where you had woodlands, beaches, park areas. Lodge was very comfortable, well stocked with everything you need for a stay. Decor of the lodge was lovely with good heating, a cosy fireplace and plenty throws and cushions. All facilities you need in the kitchen, utility room, deck and living areas including good WiFi and entertainment such as Sky TV and Amaxon Alexa.
Nothing to dislike.

Verified reviewIt's a beautiful well maintained property next to loch lomond. Absolutely fantastic setting, a pub nearby and just at the foot of Ben Lomond if you fancy a hike up the hill.
Nothing not to like, be careful driving as the roads are narrow, try and keep your car journeys to the daytime as there are many ditches that a car could veer into.
