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 KingdomNothing. It was perfect.
We liked EVERYTHING. Michelle was an exceptional host. The property is beautiful, clean and exceptionally well maintained. The view from the windows is stunning - right across the harbour. Michelle had thought of everything we could possibly need or want. We could not have had a more lovely stay, in a more beautiful little cottage. And Michaelle's friendliness was a further bonus.

United KingdomNo issues, everything was ideal
Ideal location, very well maintained with a fenced off area where our dogs could safely go outside independently. The apartment is well equipped, with lots of thoughtful extras provided by the owner including dressing gowns/slippers, toiletries, tea/coffee, butter, milk, shortbread and Prosecco. It was a very welcoming experience.

Superbly appointed apartment, the photographs are very accurate so we knew what to expect. Superb location literally on the harbour wall and views to the village and across the bay. The apartment has everything you could need and was spotlessly clean. The village pub is just a few hundred yards away and we were also very well fed and watered in there. The whole experience far exceeded our expectations and we will be revisiting without doubt and will be telling others.

United KingdomPerfect location with beautiful views. Very warm and cosy. Michelle messaged us to tell us we could check in early as they had no previous guests. We obviously took advantage of this. The apartment has everything you need and more. We stayed in winter and would love to come back in the summer to appreciate the gorgeous terrace overlooking the harbour.

United KingdomThe apartment was right next to the sea by the harbour with fabulous views across the bay, village and distant mountains. All the facilities you could want and very dog friendly. Great welcome pack on arrival and our host could not have been more helpful or friendly and answered any queries we had straight away. The Harbour Inn is a three minute walk away and is the heart of the community. Everyone was friendly and the food was great but definitely worth booking in advance because it was heaving in February

United KingdomNo dishwasher but it wasn't an issue for us as we ate out most of the time so not much washing up!
Superb apartment in village of Garlieston. Incredible views of the harbour. My son loved watching the bird with the binoculars. We didn't get much sun but was still a stunning view. Apartment was clean, well equipped and bed was so comfy. Great communication from Michelle and the welcome treats were a lovely touch. Garlieston was a lovely quiet location with a great pub, cafe and playground. One of the best holiday homes we have stayed in.

The location was fabulous, right beside the harbour. We loved watching the tide go in and out and seeing all the wading sea birds whilst having breakfast. The apartment had absolutely everything you could need and the goody basket on arrival with tea, coffee, bread, butter, jam, shortbread and prosecco was very welcome and very much appreciated. The information pack in the flat was great for ideas and suggestions of what to do while we were there as well as places to eat and emergency contact numbers. The flat was fully stocked with kitchen equipment, cutlery, crockery etc. Excellent wifi coverage too. There was designated parking outside and it was very quiet and peaceful while we were there. We all very much enjoyed our stay and must thank Michelle, our host, who was always available by phone and offered some great tips about things to do in the area.

United KingdomThere was nothing that I disliked. The only one niggle was I couldn't find an ironing board.
We had such a lovely, comfortable stay, the welcome basket was a nice little touch, some much needed essentials were there on arrival. We were blessed with really good weather, however, it really wouldn't have mattered if it rained, the property has lovely views, I could have quite happily sat indoors all day admiring them. Communication with Michelle was spot on, no complaints at all.

A very well presented ground floor apartment, tastefully decorated, bright and airy plenty of room outside all to yourself and your doggy(s), cracking views across the bay, nice walks to be had around the village. Michelle the owner greeted us there. and was very friendly and helpful throughout our stay (3 nights) Of all the places we've stated, this tops the list for us and we'll be back for a longer stay.

United KingdomGarlieston is a small village with limited amenities and no shop (other than the garage) so be prepared to travel.
Lovely property, very clean and well equipped and a generous welcome pack on arrival. The private outdoor seating, directly on the sea wall was an added bonus and in good weather provides a quite tranquil place to relax. The pub and cafe in Garlieston are both of a good standard and value for money.
