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 KingdomComfortable. Very friendly and helpful receptionist, who instantly sorted a problem with a heated water failure to the shower, affecting our room and others. It was repaired instantly even though it was early evening.This temporary inconvenience was compensated by a complimentary drink with our meal. Gestures like this are important and appreciated. All staff very friendly, including in restaurant and bar. Well motivated staff who clearly enjoyed their work. Lovely place to stay and relax in the evening. Excellent food, and pleasant dining environment. Bedrooms nice and clean and fresh.. We shall stay again when next in Oban. Of ..

United KingdomI emailed the hotel to know more about their spa facilities but no one ever got back to me. Only reason I am not giving it 5 stars.
Just outside the train station and facing the port. Lovely hotel, large room with nice amenities, friendly staff, and a hearty breakfast to start your day!

This Victorian hotel has been beautifully renovated. Our room was very spacious and comfortable, and the sea view was spectacular. Breakfast in the hotel bistro was also excellent.

It simply a lovely hotel. Friendly staff and excellent value for money.

United KingdomThe sole purpose of booking this hotel was for their spa and massage but they did not have a masseur available so all massage treatments were off. Only learned about this after booking and when we phoned to enquire about the services. I did wonder why there were no photos of the spa area - it was definitely just a thermal area without the massage treatments- good size sauna, steam, and foot bath machine.
The hotel is on a super location at the pier in the centre of town. We did not pay extra for the view but their standard room is of good size and comfortable. It had the usual items- tv, coffee machine etc. As it was winter time, their dinner service was not available but their afternoon tea was. We had a drink at their bar/cafe and the whole place is nicely decorated. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Our room was located in the corner side of the hotel so it was a bit dark and a bit noisy with traffic although it was okay as we were not light sleepers and the hotel was located in the centre.

United KingdomBreakfast is a bit pricey and not included in the room price. Only worth it, if one needs a big full breakfast before a long day hiking. Spa is nice but not very big. Fine for us as we pre-booked. First 15min we were alone, and then there were only 4 people using it however this is almost filling the sauna to max capacity.
The (cocktail) bar is nice for a last drink before bed. Also in February there not so much happening in Oban so it is nice to have a good and friendly place to go to after dinner.
