Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomThe only thing I would change would be the small mat in the hallway.get a bigger one It was really wet when we were there so 2 people trying to get shoes off without standing on the carpet after a wee dram was hilarious.
The apartment is immaculate...kitchen well stocked all you need. Bed and pillows really comfy there was nothing i didn't like. Location exceptional ..view fabulous. First time I will be looking to come back to the same property.

United KingdomNothing. If you’re glued to your car parking could be a problem - maybe more so in the busy summer months. We used the car park at the harbour so not a problem for us. There’s even great views from the car park!
Stunning view! I could have easily sat for hours watching the boats go back and forth to the Islands. Really at the heart of Oban which is a thriving and lively little town. The property was spacious and extremely well furnished. Thoughtful and high quality furnishings.

United KingdomI didn't have long enough there. Oh and the strong will needed to not go into the chocolate, coffee and cake shop below every day. I managed 50% .....I tried.
The view is incredible. A fantastic view over breakfast watching the ferries come and go. Then theres the yachts in the marina in front of the window. Evenings are even better when you can get amazing sunsets and watch the sun going down and see the line of it on the water. The apartment is fabulous but oh those views! It's the same from both bedrooms. Just keep the blind up and watch. Very comfortable beds and sofas. Excellent kitchen and main bathroom. Nothing to fault. I'm now spoilt for ever having stayed here.

United KingdomIt was perfect! We have nothing negative to say. It was one of the best holidays ever. And above a chocolate shop…. And we had great weather too!
The views were stunning and it was very conveniently located for the ferries and restaurants. We took so many pictures just from the lounge and bedroom windows! Rab was very helpful and helped me book a parking permit via the council and the place could not have been nicer!

United KingdomThe flat is very comfortable, spotlessly clean, well equipped and in a very central location. The views from the windows are breathtaking. Beds comfortable, great shower. One of the best places I've stayed. Host very communicative. Dunollie Castle and grounds really worth a visit as well as the ferry to Mull.

United KingdomNothing, perfect apartment and location!
The views are absolutely stunning from both the living room and the bedrooms. The location is perfect, central for restaurants, bars, shops, and boat trips, everything really is on your doorstep. We travelled as 2 couples and there was ample room for all of us. The property was well equipped and spotlessly clean. We were fortunate to stay during the Winter Festival and we enjoyed the Christmas markets and lots of other festive activities that Oban has to offer. We will definitely return, you couldn’t find a better place to stay and we were blown away by the magnificent views!

The apartment was well laid out , comfortable and very well soundproofed. The views are superb and the location ideal, with a convenience store just 200 yards away. Although advertised as having one bathroom, the extra toilet with sink off one of the bedrooms was very convenient.
