Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomLocation is fabulous with wonderful views. Simon and Kirsty have done a marvellous job with their attention to detail and with their warm hospitality. Nothing was too much trouble from the fresh milk in the fridge in the room and carrying bags up to the room to my request for some oat milk and Simon’s suggestion that I had a coffee outside to take advantage of the wonderful weather. The room was clean comfortable and quiet with everything you would need.

United States of AmericaIt is a beautiful well kept property, the rooms are clean and well maintained. The staff was friendly and helpful. We stayed for five nights and enjoyed every second of it. We did not want to leave, the location was fantastic. Situated right outside of Oban but still in walking distance it made it so easy just to walk to town for food or to catch the ferry without having to worry about parking. Be prepared though it is on a hill so you will get a workout but definitely worth it to be away from the busy center and have a tranquil place to relax. The breakfasts are filling and they have a wide variety of options to choose from. A fully stocked bar for the evenings and the most beautiful view of the harbor right outside. I would definitely be staying here again if we return to the area!

CanadaNothing everything was great.
The Dungallan House is a beautiful and luxurious property. The staff were excellent and attentive. The breakfast menu offered a good variety of choices and the chef presented them beautifully. The walk into Oban was just right with an interesting stroll through the ferry terminal. Excellent for settling dinner on the way home. The view from our room was lovely over the water. We even experienced a stunning sunset. I would highly recommend Dungallan House

Czech RepublicWhere to begin, the house, the people, the location, the food, all of it was absolutely perfect. You simply feel there like at home, the staff (for whom clearly this is more than just a job) made our stay exeptional. It is the little things that makes this place special like when we arrived we got a very nice tour of the house (showing us the bar and beautiful library) instead of the usual check-in where you look for passports, then they changed our room from garden view to sea view because it is nicer, and gave us some dinner recomendations. Also, they totally saved us when I got food poisoning from local fish stand, they let us stay until I could travel and took great care of us. If you are looking for a place in Highlands, look no more!

From the moment you walk in you know you are in for a special experience. Our deluxe king room was lovely and spotless with a great view of the garden and the water. The bar is incredibly well stocked and beautifully decorated. It is such a wonderful spot to enjoy with fellow travelers. There is also a cozy library. Breakfast was so much more than expected, with hot selections cooked to order, as well as standard continental fare. The building itself, the decor, and ambiance are impeccable. The attention to detail throughout and the thoughtfulness of the hosts and their team far surpassed our expectations. The house is within walking distance of the heart of Oban and many of its wonderful restaurants, shops and the distillery.

Dungallan House is a truly exceptional place. The building must surely have the prime location in Oban. The gardens are beautiful and very peaceful and the views are exceptional. But that's just the start. The staff, managed by Simon and Kirsty, are amazing. Nothing is too much trouble and they made us, and I'm sure all the guests, feel very special. Breakfast was excellent and even the packed lunch we ordered one day was lovely. Everything is done just perfectly and with great care and taste.

Beautiful setting, and the remodeling from several years ago brought this lovely place back to its former glory. It has a lovely outdoor garden and fountain, spectacular water views, and a remarkably stocked bar. The breakfast was delicious. I chose the traditional Scottish breakfast, and I suspect if choosing this at another establishment, likely will be disappointed that it didn’t meet the Dungallan Country House standards. In short, the whole experience from start to finish was superb. Simon, Kirsty, and Jacquelyn made my stay truly memorable.
