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 KingdomThe bathroom was tiny but fine for a couple of nights.
Loved the Perle, the last time we came we were lucky enough to stay in a gorgeous seafront suite and were unsure whether the double room would measure up but we still had plenty of space in the room, two comfy chairs and a nice window with a good view. The staff are so friendly and it was a pleasure to spend New Year in the hotel.

SwitzerlandThe walls isolation isn’t optimal, we could hear a bit our neighbors passing… same with the light passing through the doorframe, couldn’t have a pitch black room to sleep.
Very well located! It’s an authentic spot on the coast, but refreshed with a modern touch. Very nice breakfast (à la carte, bit they also have a buffet option).

United KingdomThere was a lot missing in the restaurant for breakfast and dinner but in fairness I think it was explained it was due to the new year period and supplies hadn't come in. So it wasn't a big issue. Other than that it was all fine. Staff were all nice in general and helpful and of course apologetic about the missing items.
Staff were nice, rooms were good. Breakfast was good, decent options. Location is great, right in the heart of Oban. Walked round locally during the day and location wise it's probably the best one.

United KingdomSadly the steam room wasn’t in operation while we stayed so we weren’t able to book the rasul mud treatment. The room itself was slightly cold, the bathroom was very cold even though the heated towel rail was kept on!
Location was perfect, close by affordable parking. Great distance to restaurants and shops and right at the harbour. The food in the restaurant for both breakfast and dinner was great. The room was very clean, well equipped and large in size. The bed was huge! The bar was great service and great choice of drinks.

United KingdomOur room had lovely thick black out curtains but no blinds or sheer curtain and we overlooked a road so we felt a bit exposed this could easily be resolved with blinds.
Lovely hotel in the centre of Oban, staff were very friendly and helpful , modern room with kettle and coffee machine, complimentary bottled water, robes and slippers, they have even provided yoga mats and wireless speaker in the room, spa facilities were an added bonus to relax in the sauna , use the foot spa and heated beds after a day of exploring. Breakfast was delicious and lots of choice , we also dined in the restaurant and the food was lovely, all very reasonably priced.
