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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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 KingdomBreakfast times are misleading. They state 7:30 to 9:30 but the staff are in a rush to remove the hot breakfast at 9:30 without warning so their staff can tuck in. On asking to replace the hot breakfast buffet trays, staff become irritated and defensive but eventually returned them. Staff then came into the restaurant areas to fill their plates.
Sea view, reception staff, room was fine.

United KingdomThe day after we checked in we noticed the radiator in our room was leaking. We reported this to reception and they sent someone up pretty quickly. Unfortunately he only turned it off but it continued to leak and by the end of our 3 night stay the carpet was soaked and smelly. The shower was not ideal either as it was off the taps and was hard to get a constant temperature. There was a sign on the window to ask for assistance to open as very difficult to do yourself although my husband managed to slide it open for some fresh air. Like all these big old hotels just needing maintenance and updating in areas.
Staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good and hot. Excellent location. Room was spacious and serviced daily.

United KingdomThe hotel is very tired. The bathroom was basic the shower overshot the shower screen. This property really needs a complete overhaul. This could be a lovely hotel in a great location. It is certainly not worth the £200 price tag to stay here for one night!!
The location was great as we were travelling early in the morning on the ferry.

United KingdomHotel is outdated needs money spending on it as paint peeling off walls and is looking tired. Reminded me of an old person's coach holiday kind of hotel.
Perfect seafront location, lovely seafront room view, nice 3 course meal and breakfast as we booked half board and there were good choices. Staff let us keep our car at the hotel after check out so we had a bit longer to explore Oban Very dog friendly.

United KingdomThe above!
Our bedroom was not clean, all the floor boards squeaked, as did the bed. The lighting was very poor, although when requested new bedside light bulbs did help. About 6" from the window was a sloping grey, slate roof, so that was our view with very little day light at all.

United KingdomIt was extremely dated and unloved looking. The carpets were threadbare and the decor drab. My room had numerous scuff marks with wallpaper detaching from the ceiling and lots of chipped paint around the sink. It is desperately in need of a revamp.
The staff were friendly and the hotel was centrally located. There was a good breakfast selection.
