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 KingdomI didn't have long enough there. Oh and the strong will needed to not go into the chocolate, coffee and cake shop below every day. I managed 50% .....I tried.
The view is incredible. A fantastic view over breakfast watching the ferries come and go. Then theres the yachts in the marina in front of the window. Evenings are even better when you can get amazing sunsets and watch the sun going down and see the line of it on the water. The apartment is fabulous but oh those views! It's the same from both bedrooms. Just keep the blind up and watch. Very comfortable beds and sofas. Excellent kitchen and main bathroom. Nothing to fault. I'm now spoilt for ever having stayed here.

United KingdomIt was perfect! We have nothing negative to say. It was one of the best holidays ever. And above a chocolate shop…. And we had great weather too!
The views were stunning and it was very conveniently located for the ferries and restaurants. We took so many pictures just from the lounge and bedroom windows! Rab was very helpful and helped me book a parking permit via the council and the place could not have been nicer!

United KingdomThe flat is very comfortable, spotlessly clean, well equipped and in a very central location. The views from the windows are breathtaking. Beds comfortable, great shower. One of the best places I've stayed. Host very communicative. Dunollie Castle and grounds really worth a visit as well as the ferry to Mull.

United KingdomNothing, perfect apartment and location!
The views are absolutely stunning from both the living room and the bedrooms. The location is perfect, central for restaurants, bars, shops, and boat trips, everything really is on your doorstep. We travelled as 2 couples and there was ample room for all of us. The property was well equipped and spotlessly clean. We were fortunate to stay during the Winter Festival and we enjoyed the Christmas markets and lots of other festive activities that Oban has to offer. We will definitely return, you couldn’t find a better place to stay and we were blown away by the magnificent views!

United KingdomThe only slight negative was having to lug our suitcase up steps to the entrance, but this wasn't a big issue.
The apartment was well laid out , comfortable and very well soundproofed. The views are superb and the location ideal, with a convenience store just 200 yards away. Although advertised as having one bathroom, the extra toilet with sink off one of the bedrooms was very convenient.

United KingdomThe outside area could do with a freshen up and maybe something to brighten the very drab view of surrounding walls. It could also be mentioned that it is a communal terrace.
Location was excellent. Ideal for getting around on foot in Oban and for visiting amazing scenery by car. The apartment was modern, bright, clean with a well supplied kitchen range of utensils. There were enough toilet rolls for our visit!! The hand rail in the shower, hooks on back of doors and electric points close to mirrors were all positives. Quite often lacking in rental properties but make a difference. We had an amazing week and would highly recommend.

United KingdomOn arrival we were able to park in the narrow access area next to the apartment, but, unfortunately, our car was scratched, maybe accidentally by the bin men? Following this we paid £30 for a week's parking at the nearby Corran Hall car park.
Key code was sent via email. No problems accessing the apartment. The apartment itself is located in a prime spot and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Large windows to the front looking out over the bay, which is spectacular! In town, and so close to all amenities. We were able to visit the Oban distillery, boat trips, Dunollie Castle and an organised coach trip to the islands of Mull and Iona, all without using our car! We absolutely loved Oban and would not hesitate to book Island view again in the future.

United KingdomAs the weather was hot when we were there, we wanted to have the windows open at night but there was a bit of noise from people passing by outside after a night out. It wasn't excessive and there's not much the owners can do about that but worth being aware of if that bothers you. There is good double glazing and secondary glazing which were effective at blocking the noise out once they were shut.
The location was really handy for getting to from the railway station and then being in the centre of town to go out in the evening. The view over Oban bay is stunning and we had glorious sunsets. The instructions and communications with the host were great.
