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...).

United KingdomOn arrival could not get in to property as the key code had not been sent so had to chase host for it. Property was lovely, everywhere was very clean except downstairs bedroom which needs the bed pulling out and a thorough clean.
Location was great, loved the surrounding countryside and roaming sheep. Local pub served excellent food and their staff were very friendly.

United KingdomNothing to be disliked you will fall in love with this place.
Excellent location, neat and clean cottage, it's really big and nicely decorated. Gives you good vibes, the host have taken care of every small detail. Has all the facilities you need for your comfortable stay. They have a nice personally experienced instruction book really useful. It's surrounded by gorgeous mountains. You can see mountain goats, lovey rabbits straight out of your window. When I say rabbits and goats it's lots there. You step out and you will see mamy. recommend a short drive for this cottage to Shanqur a near by village. The route is breathtaking.

United KingdomThe cottage was warm and cosy. Lovely touches made like the Christmas decorations and the wee personal welcome sign. Great location, the pub that we had a meal at was a 2 minute walk. We had a big snow fall one day which was beautiful so we played board games in the cottage with a cosy fire then later went to the pub for a delicious hot chocolate.

United KingdomNot much to not like, a lovely quaint old cottage.
Our stay in Glendyne cottage was lovely. We stayed as a family of 4 adults and 4 kids with 2 dogs. Property was just what we needed as a family base. Sofa was big and comfy, and the cottage had plenty of space. All the home from home comforts that you need. Kids all loved the property. In a lovely secluded spot in Wanlockhead. Located behind the local pub, which was lovely too, welcoming and nice food! Hosts were friendly and kept me up to date. Great service! The cottage has a lovely old feel to it, and its history is good to hear. We enjoyed nightly walks around the local area. The cottage has a beautiful fire in the living room. A comfy and cosy stay. All in all, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back!

United KingdomNothing to add to the above
Perfect location in an outstanding setting. Lovely village with interesting and easily accessible walks. Great for walking the dog. Really nice and welcoming pub just yards from the front door but no noise problem at all. We really enjoyed our stay in this picture perfect cottage. Rear garden was actually the side of a small mountain that had sheep roaming so unable to allow the dog out in a contained area. That said the area was so peaceful we couldn’t criticise that aspect too much.

United KingdomThe house is in need of some tlc. It wasn't super clean, and lots of the crockery and surfaces needed cleaned before use. The bathroom floor is degrading and the kitchen was damp. The "garden" was a hillside, so not secure for dogs, and the picnic area was overgrown.
Great location for a quiet getaway, surrounded by hills and friendly locals. The pub is basic but good, and the food was simple but tasty pub grub. The cottage is huge, and was plenty warm enough (it was a hot week for once)!! A good space downstairs, easy parking and a really comfy, dark downstairs bedroom. The shower was warm and consistent. Plenty of stuff in the kitchen to use. WiFi and TV both worked well.

United KingdomOverall the cottage was in need of a really good clean. There were some parts that were fine but generally just needed a bit of TLC. The outside of the cottage also just needs a wee bit of a tidy up.
Glendyne Cottages is a nice wee cottage in Wanlockhead. The village is very small but is very pretty to look at and has a bit to do with all the old lead mining history. We stayed as we were walking the Southern Upland Way and we found that the property was warm and comfortable with plenty of hot water.
