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 design of a traditional cottage with sloping upstairs ceilings led me to painfully crack my head once. I was more wary after that. Not the fault of the host whatsoever though - just a moment of forgetfulness on my part.
Convenient nearby spots to park for free, either directly opposite the property in one or two unofficial parking spaces on ground, or in carefully selected roadside spaces avoiding the bus turning circle. A short leisurely stroll to the shops, bars, restaurants etc along the road. The modern electric shower surpassed my expectations and the harbour view from the front bedroom is outstanding. Friendly hosts Andrew and Iain and their pet dogs (which are kept behind a dedicated room gate so they do not make passing hallway guests anxious).

Such a warm welcome. The owner could not be nicer and enthusiastic. His love of plants and flowers create such a beautiful garden. The room is vey well equipped with all essentials and with the most beautiful view on the garden and bay. Just a minute walk to a lovely restaurant and marine center. Very relaxing town.

Fantastic location in Tarbert. Perfectly situated near shops, pubs and other amenities, a small bay and other places of interest. Stunning views from the bedroom windows looking out over the loch. Easy to find. Plenty of parking opposite. Spotless, comfortable, well equipped rooms. We were staying en route to Islay, it is perfect for the early ferry as it is just a short drive to the ferry terminal.

Andrew is a fantastic host, warm and welcoming, lovely to chat to… his communication and flexibility is also fantastic - he responds to messages and query’s pretty much immediately and was fine that we were an hour or so turning up to the property. Rooms were super comfortable and clean …. I highly recommend staying here!

Andrew is an excellent host and this is my second stay here. The room was scrupulously clean and the en-suite also. The view from the front bedrooms over Tarbert harbour was heaven and the house is a short walk to town and also to the lovely Shell Bay. I’ll be staying here next time.

United KingdomNothing - though the marionette puppets are not everyones cup of tea .. but I didn’t find them offensive and reflectived the owners personalities.
Quirky & eclectic, clean & a wonderful welcome.... my single room was actually a small double and much bigger than expected and spotlessly clean. It was a real “room with a view” simply stunning over loch fyne. Nothing too much trouble & even provided me with a hot water bottle after a very wet day. Bonus were their gorgeous bearded collie dogs
