How guest reviews work
Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We use a weighted review system which means that the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. 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, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done 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 of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

Street facing windows can be a source of noise in the morning but the amount of traffic in Callander is low.
Family room with two separate rooms was spacious and clean. Hotel/restaurant staff was friendly and helpful.

I had misread the facilities, thinking there was a dedicated car park. There isn’t, but we had no trouble finding a spot just off the road around the corner. The Main Street is busy so our family room at the front of the hotel was quite noisy at times. It wasn’t bothersome though and as we’d been up since 3.30am that morning, there was very little that was going to keep us awake!
Great location - short walk to the meadows with free parking in the streets around the corner. The staff were exceptional. Helpful and friendly. The family room was huge and the beds were really comfortable. Breakfast was tasty and there was lots of it. We would happily stay here again.

Parking is in the lay-bys outside. Room is above the pub so could be noisy but was silent at 11pm. Which didn’t hamper us.
Room was a great size. 2 adults 2 teenage children and the dog had plenty of room. Breakfast was good.

Probably due to the age of the building the floor of our room was a bit crooked. We had the sensation of being on a ship when we walked from one end of the room to the other. Still not a big problem!
Good bed, great breakfast, wonderful staff

Parking, The hotel doesn't have dedicated spaces so it is down to first come first served in the nearby side street (Free Parking). This was fine in June but once the main holiday season comes you may find yourselves parking further afield. There are several car parks around but I dont know if you can park overnight in them!
Breakfast was ok, with a good range of items available. I asked for a Bacon Sandwich one morning and this was no problem. We had dinner both nights and the choice was pretty good 'Pub Food'. Serving sizes were more than adequate.

So it’s the staff in the pub that have got to come and deal with the hotel so no one about when pub closed. We were woken during the night to a bunch of drunk men who had forgotten there front door key.
Great location for Callander Park it’s right on the main street. It’s dog friendly. The food is lovely. Staff are all friendly. Breakfast was so tasty and great value for money.

The bathroom was fairly small. Bath had damage on inside and big step when getting out....had to hold onto other things!A shower would be a better solution. No toiletries in containers the first night.... luckily I had brought some! Toilet seat was slack and moved around and felt a risk to us as elderly couple with some mobility issues! Also had difficulty plugging in hair dryer and hot brush as the only other plugs were near window where single bed was located and no mirror nearby! Lovely mirror just outside bedroom which would have been ideal if plug had been nearby. In
Happy with location. Room was great size....plenty room. Beds were very comfortable! Staff were excellent and very friendly. Breakfast was fine...good choice!
