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.).

CanadaVery good breakfast. Restaurant was very busy for dinner the day of our arrival. In spite of our lack of reservation staff were very accommodating in fitting us in and getting us fed after a long day on the road.

A great spot close to Oban but away from the crowds. Lovely staff, really helpful. My room was exceptionally clean with a lovely view, the bed was one of the most comfortable I've ever slept in! I would definitely come back. Breakfast was great.

United KingdomOur room was to the back so we didn’t have a view. Room a bit on the small side. Bathroom probably the smallest I’ve ever seen! But it did have everything required!
Lovely old hotel with lots of features. Dining room was very busy but if you are a guest they will fit you in. Food was lovely. While we waited for our table we sat in the lounge and enjoyed a pre dinner drink. Lovely views of the Falls of Lora from the front of the hotel.

United KingdomMinor thing, but better signage to the breakfast bar might help?
Staff friendly and accommodating. I was in a cabin room with the shower down the corridor, but no problem. It didn't feel like I was sharing. Brilliant view and really appreciated being able to eat in the brasserie. I expected to have to go into Oban so pleasant surprise. Evening meal tasty and good value. Breakfast excellent.

United KingdomReally no complaints at all.
Our family room ( only room available - very short notice due to ferry cancellation ) had been newly decorated and was very stylish and comfortable with lots of space and a good sized bathroom. Sitting on the terrace in the sunshine with pre dinner drinks was lovely as were the gardens by the loch side. Dinner was decently priced as was the wine list.

United KingdomThe small double room isn't too small but there is little airflow from the window which is south facing and with the heating having been on for arrival, it took a long time to cook down. The bathroom is very small but if the bath were removed and replaced by a shower cubicle, it would have a nice feel. The bathroom could also have done with a good scrub but was clean enough.
Beautiful property sited in a lovely location with good food. Staff were very welcoming and warm, especially the breakfast team.
