Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 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...).

New ZealandRooms are a little dated but have character with good amount of space.
Has a lovely living room style communal area to relax in with superb views. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Allowed us to park our bikes in the lobby as it was quiet. Felt very family friendly with our 3 year old.

United KingdomThe decor in the room/bathroom was looking a bit tired and we had a bit of an issue with the shower water going hot and not so hot, but I like a cooler shower so no problem for me, hubby got a bit of a shock. But would rather have it that way than scolding hot which has been our experience at another hotel in Oban. Please don't let that put you off because you would miss out on a real treat!
The location is fantastic, we had a room at the front of the buikding over looking the lock. The staff are very helpful, friendly and we would definitely stay again. The food was very good and reasonably priced! Thank you for you hospitality.

United KingdomThe link on the booking dot com email to the hotel website didn't work (and we were being asked to use that to book a table for dinner). I emailed the hotel direct on their info@ email address but didn't get a reply. We did manage to book a table on arrival so all's well that ends well.
located on the sea front of the Kyles of Bute. Lovely sunrise over Bute on the Saturday morning. Breakfast and evening meal all very good.

Lovely comfortable hotel. The staff were so helpful and welcoming.The breakfast was beautifully cooked and delicious. The fire was lit in the lobby which was lovely after a days walking and the room had a super outlook over the sea and was spotlessly clean and very comfy. I would recommend highly and hope to return for a winter break this year.

CanadaThe rooms need some TLC. Definitely a deep clean to remove stains on chairs and carpeting.
The food!!! Creative, well presented, scrumptious. Ryan has a passion for creating meals to remember and he executes it perfectly. He uses fresh, local ingredients and his menu has a wide enough variety, there’s something for everyone. Our room was lovely and had a beautiful view. Bed was comfortable, water pressure was good and we found the hotel decently quiet. The Hotel has a small bar, with a good selection of spirits. Thank you to Ryan, Eleanor, Greg and staff for above and beyond hospitality. I would definitely go back…..only next time it would be a longer stay.

United KingdomFelt the dining room was very small and could have had table cloths for the evening set with wine glasses which may help customers to enjoy a more intimate environment and make a difference from a breakfast setting.
Nice room with superb view on top floor. Bed was cosy and comfortable and plenty of hangers in wardrobe which makes a difference. Dressing robes and fluffy towels in bathroom and chairs placed at window to enjoy the view. Staff were friendly and chatty making you feel at home. Great choice of breakfast and fish for dinner was fresh and cooked to perfection. Portions on the very large side and chunky chips were too much for me. Would prefer a choice of French fries on the menu.

GermanyWe’ve been at the Royal an Lochan Hotel for three nights. It’s incredibly nice located. We’ve been at room number one and had a really nice view at the lake. The breakfast is absolutely fabulous. There is a buffet with fresh fruits, cereals, croissants and juices. Coffee is freshly made and we always drink ours with oat milk, which was no problem at all. You can also choose from a breakfast menu different egg specialities. They were all great. The dinner is also extremely good, we had different fish dishes and super delicious starters. Whenever you have an extra wish or a question they help you out. The staff is extremely nice, so we can highly recommend this little hotel and the restaurant. The area is also nice. We went for a hiking trip on one day and spent the other day at the beach.
