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.).

SingaporeThe standing shower was small and not easy when taking a shower. We stayed on level 3, and it was tough lugging our luggage down 3 levels.
Friendly and helpful staff. Clean. Easy access to places around. Easy to move to some places like the ferry jetty and some places in town by foot.

United KingdomWater pressure in toilet and sink was very poor as we were on the top floor, but shower was off the mains, so was ok 👍🏻
The rooms were very clean and well presented, this hotel was used for a pit stop on our West Coast Islands tour, very easy to find at rear of the Calmac Ferry Terminal, and so convenient for us as we came off the Ferry from Mull.

United StatesHotel is slightly outdated, no elevator (just for future if you have trouble with stairs). But clean, nonetheless! No major complaints, as it did the job to spend most of the days exploring Oban, and to come back to a cozy room looking out onto the water/terminal.
Walking distance everywhere within the beautiful city of Oban, especially the Oban Ferry Terminal, where we were able to take a breathtaking tour to see Fingals Cave, Isles of Staffa/Iona/Mull!

United KingdomHard to score ‘staff’ because we didn’t meet anyone but that’s ok. We knew how it would be and we didn’t need anything
It was better than expected although I hadn’t realised I would be negotiating twirly stairs with a heavy backpack on. I loved the mini kitchen and this was a bonus with early ferry departure

United StatesThe room was pretty spacious. The kitchen area had a large counter and was reasonably appointed with kitchen ware (could use a wine/bottle opener). The location is across from the ferry dock which is a bit noisy when the ferry arrives and leaves (but not overly loud) and the last ferry leaves about 9 PM. The location is very convenient to the bus stops, train station and ferry dock as well as the central area of Oban. For the price the breakfast was good. Overall a pleasant experience.

United KingdomBasin in the ensuite was very small. Difficult to use without splashing water everywhere. Made more difficult as the shelf above was falling off the wall. Curtain tie back hooks also coming out of the wall. No cooked breakfast and rather basic what was there.
Everything was very clean, bed was very comfortable, staff friendly. Shower was good.

United KingdomThe room was a little cramped with the bathroom door close to the end of the bed. We also booked a single room which also was quite cramped. Access to the upper floors may be difficult for persons who may not be too mobile.
Location was the main reason for booking as it was close to the ferry terminal, but a short walk to the town centre also proved a bonus. Lots of bars and sea food restaurants close by and the hotel recommended a great cafe for breakfast.
