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 use a weighted review system which means that 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 KingdomI was told that the two rooms we had booked were upgraded to sea view but neither was. While it made no difference to my one night stay the expectation was given then briefly disappointed. At night the reception staff also man the bar which means at times longer waits to order drinks. On the night we stayed ther was no Diet Coke or lemonade which seemed poor.
I have stayed here before and found again a very clean and comfortable room. There is parking at the hotel which in the Oban can be difficult. While I did not use the swimming pool on this occasion it was available for use. Staff were very helpful and cheerful.

United KingdomThe window in my room didn't shut, so it didn't lock either. Nor would it lock on vent. It looked as though it had been forced open from the outside at some point in its past. I am glad I was only staying one night as I felt the security of the room was compromised, even though a safe was provided.
The reception staff were brilliant. The head waitress was brilliant. Completely on the ball. However, she was let down by a young lad on the desk for dinner who did not seem to know he should have handed out the dessert menu when requested.

United KingdomNice hotel in a beautiful, quiet location. Staff were very friendly. The room was a good size and had a bath which was perfect after long days driving the surrounding area. Food was good, highly recommend the mac cheese with crab! Breakfast was fine too. Only downsides were the car park, its tiny, if there's an overflow car park, its not sign posted. The bed was also hard and i woke up in pain both mornings. Booking.com omitted to update me that the swimming pool was open again therefore didn't bring a swimming suit, I could have used the steam room after my long drives.
