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.).

IrelandMet no hosts/staff during our 2 night stay. Had no cups, glasses in our room i on day 1. On site parking was limited, but plenty of spaces on road outside.
Lovely comfortable r bedrooms and sitting room. Ideal location, a stroll from town centre, beautiful views out onto bay.

United KingdomDid not actually meet any staff at all. Stairs! Didn't see any kind of lift. Not many plug sockets in room, but thankfully had a multi plug with me. Door tricky to lock and unlock, but only a minor niggle.
Check in was quick and painless, room key was left in an envelope inside main door. Room clean and spacious. Nice little biscuits and tea/coffee for the evening. Location is right along the waterfront with spectacular views of the harbour.

United KingdomI didn't like having to use a separate bathroom along the hall as whenever you want to use the toilet or shower or clean your teeth its a pain, you need to be dressed or in a gown, you need your keys and if you get up in the night you are disturbing others by opening and closing and unlocking doors. Plenty of parking, but restricted by multiple guests who took up multiple spaces.
B&B situated along the seafront and just a few minutes walk from the town centre. Clean and tidy room with the usual tea and coffee making facilities. Porridge and biscuits and cans of drinks provided, more than you normally get and topped up daily, but then there is no breakfast offered. Not necessarily a like, but ok is access to B&B is self service via key left in an envelope.

CyprusIt would be nice to have more substantial food options, but it was made clear from the start that food is not available and we were able to get dinner at Oban Bay.
The decoration was charming and the room was clean. There was plenty of hot water and we appreciated the snacks and beverages left in the room (we had wanted to try Iron Brew!). The location was excellent - quite close to Oban’s centre, but we didn’t walk there.

MexicoThe WiFi in our room was TERRIBLE!!!!!!! WiFi was passable in the other parts of the hotel, I think it was just our room. Soory, I can[t remember which room number we had.
The location was really nice. It was a short 5 minute walk to restaurants and pubs. The hotel itself is unique and very well maintained. The rooms were nice sized, but like many boutique hotels in the UK, the bathrooms are small. As others have said, parking is a little unusual. Guests have to "double stack" their cars and leave their contact info in case another guest needs to get out of the car park. While not ideal.....it is much better than the other hotels we saw nearby that had ZERO parking on their facilities.....don't let this scare you away. There was also some great sitting areas where you could kick back and relax in front of a bay window overlooking the ocean. That was great!!!

United StatesNo on site staff. Parking is off street but you get locked in.
Wonderful room with unbeatable view of the sea. Breakfast is no longer provided at this guest house which was a disappointment but there are lots of places to get food in Oban. The bed was not very comfortable and the parking was a problem. It is off street parking but our car was blocked in for the entire 5 days we were there. There was no staff on site to greet us on arrival and our key was left in a basket just inside the front door. Very nice place but it lacked the personal touches we had expected.
