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 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 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.).

IndiaThe sofa in the living room needs to be replaced. Has a bit of a run down feel, cushions are dull and not of good quality. There should also be a few hooks to hang jackets. No dishwasher in the kitchen, which was inconvenient. Double bed is not exactly a double. A bit small and uncomfortable for 2 adults.
Great location, right in the center of town. apartment is comfortable and clean.

United KingdomFor price of stay, these are not complaints: I'd only suggest carpets could benefit from a wee shampoo (as light in colour), and entrance hall & bits of kitchen need some attention. Nonetheless, there are small issues amongst a lovely home from home. I'd still highly recommend.
Very comfortable stay with all the facilities you would need for a short break. Bedroom sizes were very generous, and overall, the flat was cozy & homely. Well situated in the centre of Oban. Host got back to one query very quickly, which was excellent & helpful. On street parking outside was fairly cheap, and we got a space right opposite door.

Fantastic apartment which is located at the beginning of the main street in Oban providing great access to all facilities like shops, pubs, restaurants and ferry terminals. The apartment itself is fully furnished with everything that you could need for your stay.

IndiaThe sofa cushions and bed mattress could be more firmer. Sofas are too low. The bed in one bedroom needs to be fixed well, it’s wobbly. The shower is very soft and feels slow, could be more quick with good flow of water. We couldn’t operate the television. A bit noisy being on main thoroughfare, but not bad.
We made our own breakfast, but the kitchen was well equipped. Location is central, central, heart of Oban. Everything is within reach. Rooms are spacious as well as the bathroom.

United KingdomThe downside to such a great town centre location is the early morning noise of shops receiving deliveries and the late night revelers leaving the pubs and takeaways. However, if you join them, it's not as noticeable. Please don't be put off by the entrance hall to the apartments, it is a shared space with other apartments and has no reflection on the wonderful apartment waiting upstairs.
The apartment is located on one of the main streets in Oban therefore providing great central access to all facilities like the shops, pubs, restaurants, beach and ferry terminals. The host provided us with good information before we arrived, so were able to use the long stay car park on the edge of town, which saved at least half an hour of being stuck in traffic to find we couldn't park anywhere. Access was again made easy by the host, providing us with a code for the key box and precise location of the apartment. The apartment itself was warm, welcoming and clean and the kitchen was well equipped.

United KingdomDue to its location it was noisy with traffic outside both vehicles and humans. The pubs must close at 1.30 am on a Saturday night. On several occasions during the evening the floor was shaking like if a washing machine spin cycle was taking place underneath us. The smaller bedroom would benefit from curtains as well as blinds as it was not dark enough when the sun rising in the morning. We stayed one night during the mid February, totally out of tourist season so totally understandable why when the welcome pack state that you fridge/freezer and cupboards are full of things for you to use including a honesty bar and there isn't even a pint of milk for your supplied tea, it was a bit sad.
The location was ideal, could not have been more central. Spacious and warm and cosy flat, except for the kitchen. Well equipped kitchen and flat and easy to follow instructions. Free well working wifi. If used for a base to explore Oban and surrounding area it's a very good choice.

United KingdomThe kitchen is freezing, supplied heater doesn't work, whilst inconvenient, was not a major issue we had arranged to eat out, one suggestion especially during the winter months would be to put the heating on before guests arrive, it does take a bit of time to heat up.
Excellent location very clean and comfortable apartment.

United KingdomThe smell when you first go through the main door off the street and up the stairs was really awful. Smelled foosty and of dampness. The flat itself smelled lovely, but every so often you could smell the stairwell while in the apartment. Which was disappointing.
The location was perfect and the apartment was a good size.
