Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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 to really fault it, only things is the amount of spider webs in the lodge but considering where it’s located it would be quite difficult to keep on top of that! And possibly could be even better if there was a shelter on top of the hot tub as so many bugs/leaves from the trees constantly fall into the water, but overall a great stay!
It was in a quiet location, very peaceful and comfortable stay!

United KingdomThe only suggestion I would have is maybe adding some chlorine to the hot tub water so it does not have a slight algae scent
- spacious - modern - gas bbq - preheated hot tub on arrival - very quiet and remote location - dog friendly hosts - large heater inside of the cabin made it really comfy and warm - peace and quiet throughout the stay

United KingdomOnly thing to watch out for is the entrance door and door to the bathroom is smaller in height than an average door so need to remember to duck to get in and out but once you have done it a few times you get use to it
Great location with lodges nearby but had great privacy so didn't need to worry about others staying seeing you running to and from the hot tub! Great size lodge with lots of facilities and overall a great stay to get away for a few days and disconnect

United KingdomBring your midgie spray as I did get a few bites on my legs - to be expected in the countryside!
We love to get away for a couple of nights with a hot tub and Oxen Craig is perfect for this. Only 20 minutes from Aberdeen but feels wonderfully remote. There's everything you need from bedding to cutlery and the BBQ and hot tub are very easy to use. We've been here before and will be back again!

United KingdomThe following points are just cosmetic easy fixes, nothing detrimental to our Holiday. The shower pole kept falling out of the holder because the head was too heavy and the pole not fitted right. The Wi-Fi poor kept dropping out, so in the evening , if you want to sit and relax in front of the tv, it didn't happen. The bathroom window had clear glass, so there was no privacy, if on the toilet or in the shower Trees on path up to lodge could do with trim back overgrown not as image shows on Web site. Pathway lights nice, but 2 not working Hot tub burner glass panel kept falling out of door, fire glove well worn holes in fingers unable to use so had to use shovel to open and close door Could do with small chest drawer for storage of clothes . Next lodge along let dog wander about on its own ,came to our lodge started barking and growling at me, urinated on path , wife was frightened by this not fault of lodge owners but holiday people need to be more respectfull of others and keep dogs on spike lead if letting outside, we use one for our jack russell.
Lodge was beautiful , hot tub , amazing, really peaceful , and private. Internally, so warm and welcoming, we loved the lighting very well laid out. Outside space on decking area spot on well done there. Easy access for routes to other places Well positioned would defo come again.
