Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. 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. 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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

Nothing, all was satisfactory. The room was comfortable, warm, plenty of toiletries, hot water, towels etc. There is nothing I could complain about.
Breakfast was great, as were the meals in the restaurant in the evening. Staff were extremely attentive- they could not do enough for us. We were greeted by the owner on arrival. His presence as evident throughout our stay. This appears to be a very well run establishment.

There’s nothing bad I can say about the George hotel. I would love to have stayed longer next time. I’m in Scotland. I’ll make sure that I stay there again.
We love the charm, the ambience, best restaurant we went to in Scotland. The new owner and all the staff treated us like family.

Built in the 1700, with all the modern rooms and the charm that matches the history of the region. It’s also a hangout for the locals which just adds to the charm.
1. The staff was excellent, very single person when above and beyond to be friendly and ensure we received 5 out of 5 service. 2. The bar was unbelievably , they had a bigger selection than any bar in Edinburgh. 3. The food was over the top beyond exceptional, I have traveled to 25 countries and eating in MICHELIN restaurants, the seafood here beats them all. 4. The owner lives on site and is there most hours and does a wonderful job and making every guest feel like family.

The bathroom had everything we needed with a great walk in shower but was small and a little bit cramped. The lighting in the room was a bit dim.
The hotel is in an excellent location. Our room was clean with a lovely comfortable bed.

Some bits were a bit tired, for example, a peg for the hand towel in the bathroom would have been nice and some cups / holders for toothbrushes. The restaurant also didn't have the same variety as on the website, but it could have also been because we were there Monday and Tuesday.
We had a lovely room (one of the standard ones). Staff were very friendly and helpful. The restaurant and bar were great. Especially the oysters were great and the steak. The location is near the loch and you can have nice walks from there.

We always return to this property when we are in the area as it is always wonderful. Reception staff kindly gave us an upgrade as I have a broken ankle and they wanted me to be safe with minimum stairs, which I am very grateful for. We stayed in room 6 which is wonderful, immaculately clean throughout, huge comfy bed, a bath and shower. We ate (as we always do) in the restaurant which was delicious. Breakfast was great. Staff were warm and friendly, especially the young waiters!

- • Couple

The barman in the whisky bar knew nothing about whisky and openly admitted that which was really disappointing as one of the reasons we were attracted to the George was its whisky snug and had seen its won awards. Staff working in a whisky bar should be given some basic training about what they’re selling. We had a nice room but it was two beds pushed together to make a double and so had a gap in the middle. For the price we paid for the room, would have expected a proper double bed.
Nice big bedroom with very comfy bed. The food in the restaurant was lovely and restaurant staff friendly and knowledgable. Dog friendly everywhere in the hotel which was great as we brought our dog with us and he was given treats and water and made welcome.

The atmosphere at the George is great, with very friendly staff and you are in the heart of Inverary, should you want to explore. We were just travelling through but our one night there allowed us to rest and recuperate well after a long journey in from the Western Isles and before starting the long journey south. This included a good supper in the George restaurant soon after we arrived mid-evening: all part of the George experience.
