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):
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 KingdomNothing we didn't like but it is a steep climb up from the town if you are walking.
Lovely clean room. Small room but comfortable bed, great attention to detail in terms of what is provided. We were in Oban for an event so were out and about all day anyway. Excellent breakfast. Also a parking space which is a bonus in Oban.

GreeceOnly the room size.
The breakfast was excellent. The facilities in the room were very good and the person who looked it after was very kind and thoughtful. In general, we felt very warmly welcomed and very well looked after. The owner got out of his way to give us useful information for the town, the area and places to eat [which we always appreciate] and made sure we had a good time during our short visit in Oban.

Absolutely everything .. Thomas and Isabel have thought of everything and have added little individual touches that show a desire to raise their game .. e.g. small fridge in the room (every B&B should do this) and offer of fresh milk for in-room cofee/tea. I was in small single so bed against wall is ideal to ensure you don't roll off .. wooden pannelled surround is, therefore, elegant and beautiful. Extra hand rails on stairway .. excellent and thoughtful for those not so young and agile any more. And the i/d sign at the entrance .. carved wood .. epitomises the desire to excel. AND .. THE Eggs Benedict at brekkie .. wonderful.

ItalyI cannot think of anything we would change at Failtèe B&B. However, one should be aware that Oban is hilly away from the seafront, so the walk from Failte down to the harbour is fairly steep.
Fialtè B&B exceeded our expectations in every way. The hosts paid attention to detail, and every amenity was provided with the highest quality. Nothing was forgotten. Thomas was friendly, knowledgeable, and extremely helpful. His suggestions as to restaurants, directions, etc., were 'spot on'. The location was convenient. Parking was available at the property. The room was very comfortable in every way. And breakfast was also very good. We enjoyed our stay and will try to stay at Failtè if we return to Oban.

AustraliaThe ensuite was really exceptionally small and the shower basically unusable. Otherwise the room, which was a single, was fine.
This is a perfectly pleasant bed and breakfast with comfortable bed but exceptionally small ensuite. It is located on a very steep hill (not uncommon in Oban) and has a very tight steep staircase which is typical to period but a bit of a challenge. The host was very good about taking by bag up and down the stairs for which I was very grateful,

BelgiumI was cold in the evening in my room. I turned on the heather but it wasn't working. The owner send me message to check if everything was ok. I answered being cold and asked how to put a bit of warmth and I never had an answer... Also, the music in the breakfast room shouldn't be imposed. It is a good idea probably. But some people just prefer to eat in the quiet in the morning... Bathroom was a bit tight. Parking not practical (one car behind the other).
The owner was nice despite everything I wrote below. The room was very clean. Boiler, teas, water offerd in the room. The breakfast was ok.
