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 KingdomBeing very picky I would say the shower wasn’t as good as the rest of the room and the lack of staff (which was explained ahead of time and fine) does lower the atmosphere.
The room was exceptional. The bed was super comfortable. Nice small touches and the view was amazing. Great sized room.

United KingdomNothing really the only downside to our mini break was the bad weather which certainly isn’t a reflection on the Barriemore or the owners and probably a hire car would have been useful as well.
Nice warm comfortable room. It was nicely decorated with a lovely hot shower. Every day the tea and coffee was replenished and nothing was too much from the owners. Will definitely recommend the Barriemore to friends and family.

United KingdomWe had a fantastic stay at The Barriemore. The hospitality and personal touches were excellent. Our dogs were made very welcome with beds, bowls and treats. There was also a lovely treat for the adults in a little decanter of Sherry. Perfect stay.

United KingdomFabulous hotel, perfectly located toward the end of the esplanade. Beautiful room, spacious, comfortable, clean, welcoming, absolutely incredible views of the bay and Kerrera island. The binoculars are a great addition and one soon gets used to policing the frequent boat and ferry traffic. Our room has separate areas so whether work or leisure there was ample space. Enormous bathroom, very well lit and a joy to use. Mark the host very pleasant and welcoming. No ‘old people’ or cooking smells and you would never know the hotel accepted our canine friends. The lovely touches of complimentary sherry, Irn Bru and tunnocks give you a warming Scottish welcome. A shared communal room has extra condiments should you need a top up of quality teas and coffee. Complimentary sweeties and fruits in the entrance hallway a lovely touch. A totally relaxing experience and we have already recommended the place to family and friends. Oban itself is a lovely, clean, tidy and welcoming place. Looking at the pristine water you would never guess this is one of the busiest ferry ports (to the isles) in the country. Wonderful

SpainThe building is beautiful, the room was clean and the views breath taking. They even left two bowls, a treat and a bed for our dog. The room is beautiful decorated and with plenty of detail. The owners were very nice and you could see the care and dedication they put into everything. For our next visit to Oban I won't hesitate to stay at the Barriemore Oban again.
