How guest reviews work
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 use a weighted review system which means that 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewHelpful host. Gave us good ideas for interesting places to visit. Also helped us out when our taxi to the port did not eventuate.
Room was a bit tight for space, especially as we had to carry quite a lot of gear.

Verified reviewContinental breakfast selection was excellent but only semi skimmed milk provided so could not have cereal. Whole milk would be a good idea. Our room was great and with a super view. Very comfortable bed but no socket near mirrir for hair dryer. Very minor though.
Perhaps a hook on main bedroom door for jackets and also inside bathroom door.

Verified reviewOnly 1 room faces the sea number 1.we were in number 2 en suite.The room was quite small but very nice.,a lot of storage if your staying a while. The bed was very comfortable. The bathroom and shower was good apart from, due to the very bright light in there there ,needs to be a blind on the window and possibly the glass door, the bathroom was overlooked by neighbouring houses., don't have the light on. The breakfast despite its a DIY job had a great deal of choice and certainly set you up for the day. The host was exceptionally pleasant and helpful. On the whole a great place, would stay again.

Verified reviewThe budget room was very comfortable with a lovely view over the bay
We knew were getting a shared bathroom, which was for our own use outside the room but the downside was that there was nowhere to hang our towels except a one small unheated towel rail .

Verified reviewA very enjoyable 3 night stay. The host was very friendly. The accommodation was well presented and the en-suite bedroom was very clean and comfortable. The self-service continental breakfast was very good with a wide choice including fresh fruit, cereals, yoghurts, bread, cheese, juices. There was ample space for on-site parking. The location, near Ganavan Sands a former WW2 seaplane base, is good. It is quiet, scenic and convenient (8 minutes by car or 14 minutes by bus to the centre of Oban). We would stay here again when visiting the area.
Our room had a "mountain view" which was facing houses. The rooms with a sea view would have been good with good sunsets but were already taken.

Verified reviewLovely room with a view. Free parking on premises. Host helped us to book a morning taxi to catch ferry to Mull. However taxi did not show up, so she drove us down herself. We appreciated it very much!
We did not realize breakfast was self service. There were eggs to boil on our own. No other hot or cooked items or cold cut deli meats. There was cheese, yogurt, milk, bread, cereals, butter, honey, jams. Future guests should be made aware as they may expect full service breakfasts. Bathroom sink was extreme small.

Verified reviewThe most beautiful room from the bedroom window. The standard of the bedroom was very high with nice little extras such ironing board, iron, fan and chocolates on the bed and some fresh fruit. Breakfast was serve yourself with a good range of choice. We enjoyed some beautiful yoghurts, orange juice, a big range of cereals were available, and plenty of toast. Freshly ground coffee was enjoyed as was a boiled egg. Excellent.
