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.).

From the moment you walk in you know you are in for a special experience. Our deluxe king room was lovely and spotless with a great view of the garden and the water. The bar is incredibly well stocked and beautifully decorated. It is such a wonderful spot to enjoy with fellow travelers. There is also a cozy library. Breakfast was so much more than expected, with hot selections cooked to order, as well as standard continental fare. The building itself, the decor, and ambiance are impeccable. The attention to detail throughout and the thoughtfulness of the hosts and their team far surpassed our expectations. The house is within walking distance of the heart of Oban and many of its wonderful restaurants, shops and the distillery.

Dungallan House is a truly exceptional place. The building must surely have the prime location in Oban. The gardens are beautiful and very peaceful and the views are exceptional. But that's just the start. The staff, managed by Simon and Kirsty, are amazing. Nothing is too much trouble and they made us, and I'm sure all the guests, feel very special. Breakfast was excellent and even the packed lunch we ordered one day was lovely. Everything is done just perfectly and with great care and taste.

Beautiful setting, and the remodeling from several years ago brought this lovely place back to its former glory. It has a lovely outdoor garden and fountain, spectacular water views, and a remarkably stocked bar. The breakfast was delicious. I chose the traditional Scottish breakfast, and I suspect if choosing this at another establishment, likely will be disappointed that it didn’t meet the Dungallan Country House standards. In short, the whole experience from start to finish was superb. Simon, Kirsty, and Jacquelyn made my stay truly memorable.
