Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Amazingly helpful, probably the best tourist information centre I have been to. We had just missed the last tourist boat but Lauranne said, let me call Allan. Allan the boat owner added an extra boat trip so the 9 of us got to see the islands and seals :) Lauranne and the team gave other great recommendations too. Thanks team !!

What a fabulous and informative team work here. Nothing was too much trouble.
They helped me sort out my travel arrangements and made my trip to Oban a real joy.
Thank you, Lauranne.
I also observed Grazia handle a flustered and irritable customer with aplomb and grace.
Well done to you both.

This is a handy visitor centre. It is on the seafront so it has a fantastic view. The staff were nice and the gifts and post cards were great.

What a delightful surprise to visit here. We came in to this busy office for some accommodation advice for Arran, and the staff were efficient and extremely helpful. Fiona found us a great accommodation deal at a very busy time of year, but we observed all staff to be friendly, efficient and knowledgeable. A great team and lovely ambassadors for Scotland!

Great information on the ferry’s availability on the weekend. The gentleman before me asked about golf and he had hired golf clubs and booked a round by the time he left.

When we went to pick up our laundry the day before leaving we found the laundromat had closed for that day and the next. On the suggestion of a friendly local woman we went to the Visitor iCentre. The iCentre staff posted our predicament on their facebook page, and.the owner of the laundromat called and quickly opened it for us to collect our laundry. We were so pleased with the friendly helpful local citizens of Oban, but we'd like to give a special shout out to the smart caring employees of the iCentre. .
