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 reviewThe person looking after the b and b was very pleasant and working under difficult circumstances.
The room was quite small. Nowhere to sit except the bed. Everything looked very ‘tired’ and could have done with a thorough deep clean

Verified reviewThe accommodation had availability and reasonable pricing for Oban in mid summer. It had central location, though it was on busy main road. Beds were comfortable and clean , and there was tea and coffee in room. Private bathroom, with TV and Sky. Contact telephone with host representative who was often busy elsewhere. A cooked breakfast was available when ordered.
The decoration was unusual with original plastered ceilings, dark hall, with many different styles throughout. Old fashioned and tired! Breakfast was not the usual free-flowing self serve buffet type. Drinks limited to one mug ( instant coffee). Though spoons on table, no cereal available. Felt it was restricted in generosity.

Verified reviewThe location is a 10. Line(SPELLING) Is an extremely hard worker who is very helpful. We had one of our best dinner's in Oban at The Loren. Highly recommend it. He came every morning to cook breakfast. Usually it was eggs, bacon(ham), beans, and mushrooms. Coffee or tea was also offered along with water.
It was difficult to get the right water temperature. It definitely needed some work. I encourage the owners to fix that.

Verified reviewThe position. The one staff member helped us use the TV. Cooked breakfast was offered and my husband ate his. My poached egg was cold and watery
From the outside this B&B was neglected looking and off-putting. Inside there was a shabby appearance though looking at our room I would say there is probably daily cleaning but the edges , hinges etc needed a deep clean, there was peeling wallpaper and renovation needed. Breakfast was chaotic. The staff didn't tell us where the fruit juice was and I had to ask for butter and only saw the jam when leaving. No fruit was offered or cereals

Verified reviewChris provided a good breakfast but I think he simply had too much to do. He was in charge of everything. The location was good.
The place really needs a good cleaning. The comforter on our bed wasn’t clean, dust on furniture etc. The entrance needs work as well. It’s just unkept. Sorry to give this review but it was really overpriced for what we received. Would not recommend it. No reflection on Chris.

Verified reviewWe liked the location and the flamboyant style of interior decorating. The beds were comfortable.
We had trouble operating the shower, with the switch in the bedroom, and then we couldn't turn the shower off with the on/off button on the device itself. Tourists need instructions with this typically British device!!! Also the lovely young man who as he told us is also the manager of the Chinese Restaurant around the corner seemed rather overworked. He was perfectly friendly and hospitable, but he had to divide his attention between the two places and was dashing back and forth both when we checked in and the next morning for breatfast. Finally, British/Scottish food (especially breakfast) just isn't up to the standards of many other countries, unfortunately.
