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.).

United StatesA small drawback is the room itself was a little smaller than anticipated, but it never proved to be a real issue -- we just needed to be more careful with how we spread our stuff out when packing/unpacking, and the closet included in the room proved to be a great place to store our suitcases when not in use.
Our host, Joan, was extremely friendly and accommodating. Our room had all the amenities we needed and had a lovely view of the sea. Across the hall from us was a comfortably furnished lounge that would be an excellent place to visit with others if traveling in a group. For breakfast, a variety of cereal, meats, cheeses, yogurt and pastries was available, as well as fresh coffee/tea and toast. It took less than 5 minutes to get to Oban (10 minutes to get the the ferry port where we went on a tour).

United KingdomThere was nothing I personally didn't like, but it may not be suitable for guests with mobility impairments as it is high up from the main centre of Oban. It is fine if you have access to motor transport, although the centre of Oban is restricted in terms of car parking.
A very warm and friendly welcome. Exceptionally clean and comfortable room with good facilities. An excellent and varied continental breakfast, including a lot of fresh produce. Very reasonably priced.

United StatesOur bedroom was very small and hard to walk around. We are tall so it felt cramped. However, with the lounge area and so much to do in Oban we weren't in the room except to sleep. Also, it's a hard property to locate, navigation didn't work. Finally my I Phone got us there.
The owner was very hospitable and kind. She made such sure we had wonderful breakfasts. Property was very clean and looked like a recent remodel with comfortable furniture and great views from both breakfast and lounge areas.

United KingdomI understand that tariffs are charged per room, on the basis of being able to accommodate two guests but this is hard on solo travellers. However I will certainly return on my next visit to Oban.
Joan was very friendly and accommodating to my needs. The property is beautiful and furnished to a high standard. I enjoyed the outdoor space with the lovely views. The breakfast was very good.

United KingdomAs soon as I walked through the door Joan was there to welcome me. She is a fabulous host. I was up early at 5.30 in the morning as I was there on a diving weekend which meant I would miss breakfast. Joan put a basket of food/breakfast things the night before at the doorstep of my room to make sure I didn't go hungry. Fabulous location. You will not regret staying here!
