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 KingdomThe staff members were very friendly and helpful but the service at dinner was very slow on both nights. The restaurant is not large but it was very busy and the waiters and the kitchen seemed overstretched.
The food at all meals was excellent and the ambience was good too. The bedroom was very comfortable and well appointed.

United KingdomCouldn't find fault anywhere, we will definitely be returning to the Kilchrenan again.
Fantastic stay at the Kilchrenan, the room was spacious and well fitted out with all you need for your stay. Plenty of carparking available, and so peaceful once the pub closes. The food was top quality and the staff were very friendly, our two dogs were made very welcome.

United KingdomThere was no TV in our room which was not an issue as it is our bad for not checking before hand but the area is so nice and quite remote there was no need for one! The room had a speaker in so this was entertainment enough for us. 10AM check out which I felt was quite early but since we stayed in the hotel for dinner it gave us lots of time to go explore Oban so worked out well (:
It is a tricky road to drive up to this property but so worth it! My partner and I enjoyed our stay here very much and definitely would stay again. We planned to go into Oban centre for dinner but after having lunch in the restaurant (best BLT ever) we decided to have dinner there instead. Great choice on our part as the food was so lovely again we had breakfast in the morning too!! Such nice staff and just a great stay all round.

FranceLovely, cosy, clean, good size and comfortable rooms, exactly as in the pictures. Very quiet. Very good breakfast. I cannot fault anything. Unfortunately the pub was closed the evening we stayed and there is not much nearby to have dinner but we were given some recommendations in Oban and Loch Awe.

United StatesNot a thing! It’s 5 miles off the main road so a 10 mile round trip if you are on your way somewhere, but if you like off the beaten path, this hits the mark!
Gorgeous inn with a spacious and well appointed room. Very comfortable bed- just a cozy space on a cool night. The bar and restaurant are gorgeous with a real highlands flair.

United StatesNothing. It was perfect.
We almost don’t want to rave about this place because we want to keep a secret to ourselves. Food was amazing, staff incredibly friendly and responsive, very comfortable rooms, location was beautiful and conveniently located near Oban, and it was absolutely our favorite stay on our recent vacation. The bunk beds were also a huge hit with the kids—comfy and warm.

United KingdomWe loved it here! After an 8 hour drive from Bristol this was our first stop of our holiday and will be hard to beat! Perfect, quiet location with lovely local walks for us and our 2 dogs. The evening meal and breakfast were outstanding and the service was some of the best we’ve had. Our mother in law said it was the best pub meal she’s ever had! Having come from a week in London the week prior Scottish hospitality put London service to shame! No TV but we really liked that, we didn’t come here to sit in our room and watch TV, we sat in the bar and played cards, perfect!

United StatesJust what a fabulous place! 15 min off the highway... About 30 min outside Oban. What a find this place was. Amazing food for such a location. And a nice small pub. A stream outside. Three horses in the field - black, white, and brown. Lovely staff. Lovely place. We ended up here by accident and what a great accident it was. When we come back to Scotland, we will go out of our way to spend a long weekend here.

CanadaAt the time of year, there was a lack of staff to open the attached restaurant. I was dropped off my friends and didn't have a car so couldn't source other food in the area. They were communicative about this so I had brought a meal intentionally, but this was still unfortunate as I would have liked to try the restaurant.
The room was so cute! Quiet, clean, large bathtub and comfortable bed. There was coffee/tea in the room but they additionally left a few beers in the room for me as the downstairs bar was closed on Mondays. The breakfast included in the morning was delightful and the staff was super friendly.
