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 KingdomVery small...but probably in line with the price paid at the end of the day. Rather scruffy initial impressions with approach being round the back of the property then up concrete steps which entails passing the bins and the local Co-op store unloading area. Bathroom with its excellent shower and acceptable loo seriously let down by its ludicrously tiny handbasin - a veritable masterpiece of miniaturisation - which renders impossible any attempt at having a wash without completely covering the floor with water.
Convenient for the centre of Tarbert with nearby on street parking.

United KingdomA minor thing but the approach to the property from the co op carpark feels a bit un cared for, but thats probably out of the owners control.
Centrally located in Tarbert, room 1 is large and comfortable. Tarbert is a very attractive little town well worth visiting.

United KingdomUnusual set up for coffees etc outside of the bedroom, with no place to wash dishes. Table in dining area appears broken and fridge/freezer needs a good clean. Whilst it is a great location for the ferry, it's very noisy as is right on the main road and traffic runs past all night. Could do with some lighting along pathway in winter.
Very comfortable and spacious bedroom. Large bathroom with amazing shower. A great location for Kennacraig ferry terminal. Bedroom areas and bathroom very clean. Lovely plush carpet.

United KingdomI arrived late a night and the stairs up to the property could benefit from a light also in the dark the keys holes weren’t the easiest to operate.
Room was spacious, had everything I needed for a one night stay. Really can’t complain about the room or facilities for the price. For somewhere to stay after getting a late ferry back from Islay before driving home the next day, this place was ideal.
