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.).

Much better than expected with a lovely outlook from the room we were allocated. Spotlessly clean and well equipped. Breakfast tray was a nice surprise and much appreciated. Host was really friendly and helpful with restaurant suggestions. Would highly recommend if staying in Oban.

United StatesIt was on a tiny curvy street, and I passed it by on the first try. But finally made it into my own parking spot.
The layout of the apartment was so clever. I loved the bathroom.

A lovely place with incredibly good facilities. Everything was there for a self catering long stay. We stayed only for one night as part of a longer journey, but I would consider it to be great place to stay as a base for visits to the many attractions in the area.

United KingdomWe misunderstood the description of the facilities, which includes the word "kitchen". We had food with us that we thought we would be able to cook but the room only had a small fridge and a kettle - no microwave or anything. This was just a misunderstanding but the description could be clearer. The only other issue was the steeply sloping ceiling where I continually banged my head when standing close to the wall.
Very pleasant room with a big comfortable bed. Very nice owner and a beautiful, quiet, convenient location.

Very lovely host. Before my stay I asked for advice on nice restaurants to celebrate my birthday and Doreen has been very responsive and gave me great advice. Once at Burnside I have been very touched to find a birthday card and a bottle of wine waiting for me. Attention to details is very clear and I couldn't recommend more this place.

Excellent location, quite and rural, on the 78 cycle route. Trainline passes close by but trains are not so frequent that they impact the peace. Pleasant 20 minute walk into Oban and a £6 taxi ride back! Glencruitten Woods are nearby for a leafy walk. Property is extremely well equipped and spotlessly clean. I really can't think of anything to fault.

United KingdomFrom the initial welcome to us leaving, the hosts Doreen and David could have not been more helpful. Burnside is situated in beautiful countryside and sat-nav will take you the slower, scenic route. The super king-size room is so well equipped for your trip, snacks and breakfast items, fridge (complementary milk and drinking water), WiFi, Netflix etc. There were lovely little touches in the bathroom that highlight the attention to detail the owners have gone to. The bed was super comfortable and the location is just a 20 minute country walk to the centre of Oban. We would recommend the ferry to Mull but book well beforehand if you want to take your car. Foot passengers are fine and we did that. Iona is a must and such a beautiful, quiet Island. I will recommend Burnside to family and friends - thank you for a lovely stay.

Everything ! Room was lovely decorated with some really nice thoughtful touches . I was having to use crutches at my time of stay and found the room so comfortable to move around in and what a comfy bed to relax on 😍 so we definitely will be back soon to explore the area once I'm more mobile again. Doreen is lovely and welcoming and Bailey is one handsome pooch !!
