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.
Lovely bunkhouse style hotel in a beautiful location. Cheryl and the other staff could not have been more helpful and friendly. The castle is beautiful so take five minutes to walk over the bridge. Food was excellent, and the bar area unique and welcoming. Beer was excellent too. Room was clean and bed very comfortable. I was in a single on the third floor - great night sleep and very quiet. Plenty of parking too and ideal for motorcycles on tour. Breakfast was plentiful and delicious. Loved the Tattie cake! Coffee was good too. A bargain at what I paid, will certainly be back! Thanks Cheryl.

United KingdomFairly noisy road in front but little traffic at night We travelled on heavy electric mountain bikes with full panier bags. We followed the SUSTRANS route for LEJOG and had to carry the bikes down. 2 lots of Steep stairs on the nearbye railway bridge. Suggest easier to cross the river at Balloch Bridge a few miles away Not the hotel’s fault.
Good value with great staff and excellent breakfast

United KingdomA really welcoming hotel. It's quirky but that's part of it's charm. The bar is super, good ales, a warm fire and very friendly, the tartan pool table was terrific! We had a super breakfast in the dining room which looks out on the river and castle, we also ate a meal in the pub - good honest pub grub - venison burger was delicious. Our bedroom was at the top of the hotel and overlooked the castle and railway bridge, the view was spectacular, the bed was huge and very comfortable. Cheryl was an excellent host and Charlotte who worked in the bar was lovely too.

United StatesMy bed was too soft, but that's just me
This place was fabulous! I was riding the Far North train to Thurso to take the ferry to Orkney. I stopped here to recover from my flight from NY (boarded the train at the Inverness Airport stop). I wanted a night's rest near the train, but I got so much more. It is a few minutes walk from the train stop. I recieved a lovely, warm welcome and I especially liked the tradtional pub that is downstairs in the very old building that is charmingly furnished with all kinds of Scotish memoribilia and artwork (loved the cartoon sketchs). It was great to just wonder around and examine everything! Good food and ale too, and excellent full Scottish breakfast (although I declined the black pudding; I think that and the haggis are an acquired taste :). I didn't see the "bunkhouse", but they have hostel-like accomdations, as well as the individual rooms. I picked a smaller, twin-bedded room as I was traveling alone, but I looked into a larger double room that looked really nice. I would definitely recommend this inn!

United KingdomDidn't have anything to complain about.
Upon arriving at the hotel we received a very warm welcome from Cheryll and Charlotte. From then on they couldn't do enough to ensure we enjoyed our stay. Cheryll really knows the meaning of 'service with a smile'. She never stopped smiling the whole time we were there. We had a very comfortable bed which provided us with a very peaceful night. A lovely breakfast was served in the morning and set us up for the rest of the day. If we are ever in that area again we would certainly be staying here.

NetherlandsIts hard to describe how good this B&B is. We were welcomed personally by the host and she made sure we had everything we need. Its the little things like a cold bottle of fresh milk for the evening tea and recommendations on locations to visit in the Highlands. The room we stayed in was great, it was cosy, clean and it had all the necessary amenities. We also had a great view from our room of the bridge and castle. The bar is also really great to have a drink in and the burgers served there are delicious. We would really visit this B&B again if we were in the neighborhood.

United KingdomWonderful place - one of those that was so enjoyable you are loathe to say how good it was, lest it make it more difficult to book in the future. Cheryl & Angus are wonderful hosts, and it feels more like a home than a hotel!
