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 StatesThe room was very snug. My husband and I are both taller than average and had a hard time moving around such a snug, tight room. The bed also seemed small probably because we are taller. This made things a bit uncomfortable for us.
The room was very clean, everything was well kept. A beautiful view of the bay from the front of the property. Breakfast was delicious with plenty of variety. Host met us each morning and was very friendly. The location was great!

United KingdomThe rooms are quite small but well laid out. Wash basin was outside the toilet/shower room but this wasn't a big issue.
Lovely view from the room, very close to the sea front and amenities of Connel. Comfortable and very good value for money. Breakfast was good for the price we paid. Note this B&B is not in Oban but Connel is lovely and a good location if you have a car.

United KingdomOur room was fine, but a bit cramped for 2 people and a dog, and that was without having to use the folding bed, which we had been prepared to do. Was disappointed that there was no public lounge.
What there was was fine, but no porridge oats, either to sprinkle on cereal or to eat hot. No marmalade. Location of the dining room was lovely with fine views, but only 4 tables for 5 rooms, so I had to share with someone from another room. Another table could have been provided at the window instead of a couch facing away from the fantastic view.

United KingdomWould have liked to have been allowed our dog with us for breakfast but it was a cosy breakfast room and could have been problematic with several dogs at once. Double room was a little cramped but bed was comfy.
Good value stop over on an extended journey. Fabulous view from The front garden. Comfortable bed. Nice simple continental breakfast. Warm room and dog friendly. Staff were very freindly and approachable.
