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):
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.
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.).

United KingdomThe room was very warm in the unseasonably hot weather and took time to air with front and patio doors open. When we checked out, we found a standing fan in the wardrobe. If only we'd spotted it sooner. No breakfast option.
Great location, looking out to the top end of Loch Fyne. Just what we needed after a long drive from southern England. The menu has changed since we looked at the Web site. The Indian dishes being served to the guests looked and smelled fanatic.

United KingdomNo breakfast, difficult to get into the pub on arrival.But they're lovely guys, trying to do something here. Great value.
We booked the best room which strangely wasn't the one with the outside space which we'd expected.. Staff were lovely though and went and prepared a different room for us which had the outside space. Beautiful location.

United KingdomInitial impressions not great - but keep an open mind and you'll love it. Raita with curry was awful - hopefully they listened to our feedback.
Lovely location at the end of Loch Fyne. Staff were fantastic - so welcoming. Hotel can best be described as quirky! It's obviously seen better days but it would take a massive budget to get it back to its former glory. Only curry served in restaurant which was excellent (mostly). Bed was comfy with nice linen. I was a bit worried when we pulled up outside but I loved it. Would definitely come back.

United KingdomThe Inn has just reopened under new management. At the moment the place is pretty tired. The decor is old, the place needs to be updated. It would not have suited my wife. However I'm sure the new team will make it a really nice place. So take a risk and give them a chance, the location is special.
The staff were very friendly The Inn offers good Indian food. My room was clean, the bed was comfortable.

United KingdomTerrible experience. Tommy was very nice, but could not make up for the fact that this hotel is a total rip off and not somewhere that I would recommend. The first room twin we had smelt of smoking (on the curtains, bedding, towels etc), and one of the beds had such an angle to the mattress that I felt as if I was rolling out of the bed when I lay down. The beds were way too soft and just generally uncomfortable. The wifi did not work. And there was a fire alarm in the middle of the night. Then we were moved rooms. The room we were moved to had not been cleaned, the toilet was dirty, and the bedding was dirty. This was rectified once we complained. We could feel the springs through the mattresses on both beds and they were extremely uncomfortable. The wifi still did not work. Tommy put a new booster outside the room, but we still could not get any wifi at all. The room was dirty and all of the hotel needs updating. There is wallpaper peeling off the walls and no effort has been made to clean the place and make it look fresh.
The location on the side of the loch is beautiful. But this was a terrible stay. I hope in the future they can completely renovate this inn because it could be lovely.

United KingdomJust a couple of things really. As great as the room was, we felt like it could have done with a bit more of TLC. The TV on the wall was plugged into an extension lead that was hanging down. The travel kettle supplied had seen better days and could do with replacing. The shower wasn't great. I noticed that there was a constant leak from the bottom of the shower unit, which a quick search informed me that it's a PRD issue. Lastly, a bit of a welcome pack in the room, with check out times, WiFi passwords, local attractions, would have been nice. But knowing that the hotel is under new management, I totally understand that the team is finding their feet. My 'negative' review is merely me nitpicking a stay that made us fall in love with Cairndow.
When checking in, the staff were very friendly and welcoming. We were shown to our room (by Jack, I think it was?) and when we opened the door we were amazed. A very spacious and large room, with a large King sized bed that was just very comfortable. The bathroom was quite large too. However, we had the double room with a balcony and the view of Loch Fyne was absolutely stunning. We also booked a table in the restaurant for our evening meal. I was in contact with the staff at the hotel beforehand (Tommy was phenomenal), and I'll admit, when I saw that it was Indian cuisine, my expectations were quite low, thinking that it'd be predominantly microwave cuisine ala Whetherspoons. I was glad to be absolutely wrong. I was raised in a part of the world where in a 5 mile radius, I had about 30 fantastic Indian restaurants/desi pubs, where the food was phenomenal. We ordered Fish Pakora, Chicken Chat to start with, and Chicken Tikka Korma, Lamb Jalfrezi madras, Garlic Naan, pilau rice, and chips. The food that we had at the Stagecoach Inn was probably one of the best I've ever had. I don't like Kormas but the one my partner ordered was just full of flavour. The kitchen staff needs all the praise here, as well as the staff at the inn. We felt that if the inn was in a busier location, that the place would be heaving. Other reviews mentioned that the bar, and restaurant felt dated. Maybe, but we felt like it added to the charm of the inn.We absolutely loved the place and definitely will be back.

United KingdomThe food was nice but only limited to Indian cuisine. So if you are there a few nights curry every night is not for all.
The property is dated and unclean

United KingdomI think some “pub food” on the menu would be good. If I was staying 2 or 3 nights I may want a change from curry.
Reception was handled by Tommy. Great character and he was happy to chat and get us a drink. The sun was out so sitting in the garden was great. We were surprised by the menu for evening meal, as it was Indian Curries. Fortunately, we both love them and honestly, they were up there with the best I have had.
