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.).

Beautifully presented. Host (June) was very accommodating to our early arrival and helping us with directions for the afternoon and as we left. Room was spacious with lovely view over Oban. Large king bed. Breakfast was easy to order the evening prior, even homemade rhubarb compote which was the best I’ve ever tasted. Thanks June.

United Kingdom£20 for a wee dog who sleeps in her own basket & eats her own food is extortionate in our opinion. But it’s not particularly a criticism of heatherhouse —-everywhere does it now, from big chain hotels to small intimate guest houses. If our dog was particularly muddy, wet, smelly etc then I would expect an extra charge to be applied retrospectively, similarly to a charge applied if a guest smoked in their room.
Great location, a 5 minute stroll to the front. Interesting old house. Nicely furnished. Received a warm welcome. Lovely professional girl served our breakfast, which was very nice indeed.

United KingdomWhen choosing this property I didn’t realise it was up a steep hill. We travelled by train and so had to walk up the hill a few times.
The room was very nice, clean and comfortable. The breakfast was amazing, rhubarb compote to die for, really set you up for the day.

United StatesJune was a wonderful proprietor with a terrific sense of humor. When we guests were prevented from leaving Oban due to torrential rains having flooded the roads leaving out of town (the landslides didn't help), she held our rooms for us and kept us informed on the situation. (We were able to depart later that day.) Her inn is beautiful and perfectly located for milling around Oban.
