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):
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.).

AustraliaListening to Friday night’s band, who were great by the way, in the freezing cold, was a serious bummer. I’m sure the limited number of audience members was due to this too!! The poor 4 band members were almost hypothermic!! How stupid when the inside venue would have been perfect, warm and this band could have been off the charts, who knows? Instead it was a feat of pure physical endurance against the cold. 😳 I only stayed for one song and didn’t purchase a drink on principle. Disappointing and a definite negative mark against the Pub’s Management. ❌
I just ❤️ this old hotel. It is one of my favourite places in the world. I recovered from a lack of sleep over previous days, sleeping 11 hours almost straight in my fantastic room. Thank you. 🙏🙏🙏🙏

AustraliaWeekends can be busy and having a bar below can be understandably noisy. Also, cars and trucks passing by late at night can be nuisance. Not ideal for family with small kids. We found bottles of soda under the bed. Smell of old carpet throughout the hallway.
Great location, situated in the middle of the town, has a bar/restaurant on the ground floor. Staff were nice and polite. Food and drinks available until 8pm. Very clean shared facilities, smart tv in room with access to internet for streaming/youtube.

AustraliaThe accomodation was comfortable and clean. I loved the menu choices in the pub. I am coeliac and was so happy with how many gf choices there were and the care they took in preparing it. The beer garden was lovely with lots of space for my 5 year old to run around. Great live music and a lovely atmosphere.

IrelandThere were a couple of members of staff in the bar who were extremely rude and unwelcoming. We were told that the bar would be closing at 10pm due to it being a quiet night (this was a Saturday), and at 9pm we were begrudgingly served drinks and told we need to leave. They even turned off all the lights in the bar at 9:30pm... (when there was still a large group of people also sitting there). It put a complete downer on the otherwise enjoyable day.
The location was great for our particular trip, halfway between our destinations. Rooms were simple but clean and comfortable. Communal bathrooms were satisfactory, but the showers did not work after a certain time in the evening.

AustraliaI didn’t like that when you book through booking.com they ask you a time you would like to check into the property but the staff at the hotel don’t get notified about it and they said it happens all the time so I believe that the website booking.com needs to update this so there is no more problems. Can’t thank the staff enough though for accommodating us
