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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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 hotel itself is a bit old fashioned and tatty, but the room was clean. The bed was very comfortable. The shower was very small.
Nice stay. The room was functional and clean and the bed was very comfortable. We didn't use the kitchen, but it was available to use. It looked well stocked with complimentary tea and coffee.

United KingdomThere is a nice kitchen where you can make coffee and tea, but as a personal preference, I like to have a cuppa in my room. I understand the reasons behind not having this facility though.
The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The rooms were clean, bright, and spacious. I was worried it might be noisy, but me and my partner both had a great night's sleep. We didn't eat in the pub, but you can get 10% off food if you show your room key.

United KingdomThe property does clearly state it is a nice a busy pub and they have earplugs available for free. I could still hear the music at times.
Fantastic location. Room was functional, clean and comfortable. The shared toilet/showroom was newly refurbished and the shower was excellent after a cold day in the water.

AustraliaA lot of stairs. To be fair I paid for a waterfront room and that was only accessible by several flights of stairs. If you can’t do stairs this one won’t be for you. But if you can, it’s historical and quite comfortable. Sea breeze at night through the easy to open window was refreshing and lovely. We walked about at night quite safely.
Location is stunning. Accessible and affordable car parking next to hotel. Waterfront views and close to all amenities.

CanadaWe were there mid-week so didn't experience the noisy pub on the ground floor, but the fact that they provide ear plugs for guests sends a message about potential issues on weekend nights. If you're considering it for a Friday or Saturday night's stay, be sure to ask for a room away from the pub.
This is a budget option in Oban. The common areas are quite rudimentary, but the room itself was comfortable and well maintained. The location is convenient - easy walking distance to the town centre, but a bit difficult to find since it didn't show up on our GPS.
