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 KingdomOnly downside for us personally was that our twin room didn’t have much of a view of anything at all, (except the house next door) but I did notice other rooms had an incredible view of the loch.
Spotlessly clean and lovely breakfast! About a 10 min drive from Oban town centre but a lovely peaceful and very beautiful setting overlooking the loch. …and you have to cross a really cool bridge to go back and forth if driving. Room was freshened every day and staff were super nice. Our room was lovely and cosy and very comforting to come back to after our days out. It had a decent kettle and hair dryer in room and lovely fresh fluffy white towels! Would’ve given 5 stars if we’d had a better view from our room. But that said, couldn’t fault it otherwise and the view of the loch is beautiful from the breakfast lounge.

United KingdomLittle to complain about.
Superior room was exactly that-great view, it was ‘bathrooms together’ with next door, so very little noise transference, quite rare these days. Early start one day meant no breakfast but hotel addressed with a very nice packed lunch-thanks.

United KingdomApart from having the worst weather, the welcome at the Lochnell Arms hotel was warm and friendly. The staff at this hotel were lovely. The room was clean and comfortable. The breakfast was good and plenty to choose from. Excellent location, which I imagine on a beautiful day you would get fabulous views from the hotel bar. Definately value for money.

United KingdomNothing, everything was just as we expected
Breakfast was great with a good a choice of items. Evening meal was super. staff very friendly. Unfortunately our departure was delayed due to the roads being closed with landslides and flooding, we had to ask for an extra nights stay as there was no alternate roads we could take. the owners were very helpfull and made up a room for us that was not usually used. Overall we had two good nights stay, and if we were ever in the area again(touring or stayvacatiob) we would head straight for The Lochnell Arms Inn.
