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 KingdomThis is an attic flat that has a sloping roof on one side making it difficult to move around without bumping your head at some point, despite being careful.
Excellent location and a very comfortable bed. The flat had everything we needed for a great stay.

United KingdomThis property is above a chip shop and I did have a slight concern about fire safety. There is an extinguisher in the flat but I wasn't aware of a fire exit.
The property is equipped for self catering with a two ring hob. Very central location, although you do need to be fit to climb to the third floor as there is no lift. Parking is tricky as there is a two hour limit in the day time around the property.

United KingdomBeing central and near bars restaurants meant it was a little noisy later at night, nothing too bad but may get worse in high season. Unable to park outside but free on street parking can be found up hill behind accommodation. Bathroom needs a toilet brush. Light in one bedroom was so dim.
Central location was excellent, no need to use car, taxi or bus. Faculties good and door codes provided by email well before our arrival. We booked three appartments and facilities were actually better than expected.

New ZealandWe loved how close it was to everything, 2 minutes walk away from everything in Oban. Loved the layout of the apartment and how accessible everything was. Really clean and nothing to fault. We come every year to Oban to compete in the Argyllshire Gathering for the piping and have stayed in a lot of hotels in Oban over the years, this one was definitely the best value for money and out favourite so far!

United KingdomThe cleanliness of the apartment was not great. Some food crumbs were present in the cutlery drawer and some cutlery was not clean. The apartment could benefit from somewhere for a couple to eat together, as the small table in the living room / kitchen is small and positioned by a window, so that it is only practical for one person to sit there at a time. The bathroom could use some TLC (the rubber on the bottom of the shower door needs replacing) and the door would benefit from a lock!
An excellent central location.

United KingdomNot the fault of the owners, but being under a fish and chip shop caused the apartment to smell of fish and chips slightly at times. Some things could have been cleaned better but not the worst ive seen.
Great location, lovely apartment, very modern. Contact with staff was easy and friendly. No issues checking in or out.

United KingdomAs above.
There was a mix up with our booking, on our arrival the code given via email wouldn't work. This issue was quickly rectified by host over the phone. :-) The flat we were in was above the chip shop, great chippy ;-) not so keen on the smell but it wasn't too bad. I'm not sure if due to the mix up with booking (perhaps we weren't expected so no clean was done) that possibly the apartment hadn't been freshly cleaned but the cleanliness wasn't really to a good standard. It was decorated modern, although needing some attention to wee bits and bobs. I do feel a few improvements would make this an ideal stay. It is in a good location being central and reasonably priced but quite a few negatives regarding the cleanliness and little things around the flat. We also had to request bedding for the sofa bed again this was sorted promptly but the bedding was handed to us and we had to put the covers and pillow slips onto duvet and pillows ourselves. Host was pleasant enough. We did enjoy our stay but it was quite disappointing we had to clean before we could settle in apartment.

United KingdomThe flat was above a fish and chip shop so it was a bit noisy in the evenings. An extra fan in the bedroom would have been a bonus. A map of Oban in the flat would have been helpful.

United KingdomThe sofa bed was a bit dirty with food crumbs and stain marks. The photos shown of these apartments are misleading. We were in apartment 4 which doesn’t look like the pictures which is a shame as it was very plain. Possibly the other apartments have been recently renovated with more colour and better interior design.
The very central location. The staff who helped us was prompt and helpful. Kitchen was well furnished with equipment. Lots of storage spaces and nice hot water from the shower. Nice windows overlooking the Main Street.
