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.).

CanadaThe 2nd bedroom, living room and balcony were smaller than expected based on photos. The parking was a challenge and very tight/limited space. If there hadn’t have been 1 spot left, we would have had to find paid street parking - not clear from the booking details.
The added touches of bathroom amenities and kitchen treats were very much appreciated.

Oban is a bustling port town with much to see and do - both in town and in the nearby environs. Once you make it up the three flights of stairs to The Penthouse, you are rewarded with amazing views and a really well laid out apartment for a family or two couples. Fiona was a wonderful host — very communicative and had excellent recommendations on places to eat and things to do (both in Oban and throughout the Highlands).

Everything! The location was terrific. You are in Scotland, after all. The fruit bowl was wonderful. The bathroom has everything you could possibly need. We had water bottles in the fridge and some little chocolates. Games under the coffee table were great too. If you don't book to stay here, it'll be one of those decisions you'll live to regret. Hmm... those stairs - good little workout.

The state-of-art facility and appliances (apart from washing machine) made it an absolute luxurious stay, especially with the penthouse view into the harbour as well as walking distance to the eateries!

United StatesIt's a hike up the steps to the penthouse apartment, but worth the effort!
Super clean and comfortable apartment in a great location to walk around Oban. Our host Fiona communicated with us easily. The amenities available in the apartment were generous and greatly appreciated. We arrived in Scotland on the day of check-in and drove all day from Edinburgh to Oban. There was coffee, water, and tea available for us as well as fruit and snacks. The beds were all comfortable, and there was sufficient bedding. Thank you, Fiona, for a great stay!

AustraliaNo complaints except to say we didn't realise we would need to climb 5 flights of steps to reach apartment which made it impossible to bring in our luggage and difficult for our 80 year old mother. Some of the ceilings are slanted and we kept hitting our heads. Also the pillows weren't comfy little too thin.
The location is stunning the apartment was lovely and the hosts graciously left us some snacks, milk and water in the fridge.
