Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomNothing to highlight, I think this experience has exceeded our expectations
Our stay with Doreen, David and their lovely Siberian husky Billy was amazing :) The hosts were friendly and showed outstanding hospitality. The place was easy to find and had spacious parking to offload our suitcases. This is the top-notch choice for a one-night stay on your road trip. I assume it might be a bit difficult for longer stays as our room was small, but that was not a problem for us.

AustraliaNothing we didn't like
This is beautifully set up accommodation, really nicely decorated. We were in the front room which was a good size with additional living area and bathroom. The bed was a really comfortable king bed. Doreen was the ultimate hostess, and nothing was an issue. You are provided with all you need for a continental breakfast and there is a small fridge. It's not walking distance into Oban but we enjoyed the fresh air and quiet. We would definitely stay at Burnside again.

AustraliaJust needs signage on the doorbell, as when Doreen answered the intercom, we assumed she was inside the house, but was actually out walking the dog, & the connection kept breaking up & we were waiting a while for her to look up the booking, so we could get inside.
Very comfortable, beautiful toiletries, bath robe . Bed so comfortable. Lovely quiet area, although there is a railway line behind property, but not many trains going through, & I had earplugs, didn't bother me. Had Netflix connection. Doreen offered for us to sit outside in the sun. Lovely that we had porridge & fresh milk to have for breakfast, a nice touch.

United States of AmericaThe only issue that we had was the actual address. I understand that owners do not want to reveal actual address until arrival is imminent, but it was difficult to tell our driver where it was located. Also, taxi driver just guessed at location and fortunately was correct.
Lovely, quiet setting. Nicely furnished rooms. Bonus of fresh milk, instant hot cereal, and a very sweet resident dog. We would stay there again.

IrelandThe parking area out the front is small. If there are other guests, it can be tricky to park without blocking other cars. Especially if you have a big vehicle.
This guesthouse is located just outside the town of Oban. Less then 10 mins drive. The guesthouse is on a quiet road. Perfect for light sleepers like me. My room was a converted attic, I'm 5ft 10 and I tought the headroom was fine. There was a little fridge with a bottle of water and fresh milk. There was also tea, coffe, sugar, crisps, porridge. The fresh milk was a lovely touch. So many places give you UHT milk which I think is rubbish. This small thing was an example of the care and consideration that the hosts have taken with their accommodation. The bed was large, firm and comfortable. The TV had an Amazon FireStick which was used to access free to air apps to watch UK TV. But it also had Amazon Prime. Which meant I could watch my favourite shows. Again a lovely extra. The bathroom was spacious and the shower was good. There was even a bathrobe to wear after. The WIFI was fast and reliable. The whole place was spotlessly clean. The host met me on arrival, along with her beautiful husky. She was very welcoming and helpful.

NetherlandsCouldn’t find anything we didn’t like! Just perfect
Everything, from the room to the bed it was perfect! The room is nice and cozy and perfect when you travel together! The bed is so comfy, we had the best night sleep since a long time! Ready to continue the roadtrip! All the little touches make it so great, from crisps and oats for the morning and water and milk in the fridge. Also private parking on the property! The host was lovely as well! We will definitely come back here!
