Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 KingdomNot a problem for us but note that there are a few flights of stairs to reach the top floor.
My husband and I stayed for one night at the start of our trip driving along the Antrim/Causeway Coast. Walter’s Place is well-located along the waterfront and a short walk from Carrickfergus Castle. Street parking can be found directly in front of the hotel which is quite convenient. We were in the Sapphire room on the top floor with a view of the water. The room was clean, spacious and comfortable; we both had a great night’s sleep. Dinner and breakfast can be had at Ownie’s next door.

United KingdomNo car park for the hotel, but we had no problem parking directly outside the hotel on the road.
The room was clean, modern and well appointed. We ate dinner and breakfast in Ownies Bar which is part of the hotel. The food was delicious and service was good. When we checked in Jack was friendly and helpful. He showed us to our room and where things were. He also took a booking for dinner. A great front of house member of staff

United KingdomSomewhat scruffy access along back alley to room then spiral staircase to room - difficult for couple in 70s with a double knee replacement and luggage! But the room was worth the climb.
Breakfast excellent, location very good, for example to visit castle. Very comfortable and clean ensuite room. Next door to a very nice pub that serves excellent food.

United KingdomBreakfast was served in the bar after 9am. Had to miss breakfast one morning as we had a booking outside Belfast at 10:40am. Didn’t realise that booking restaurant for evening meal was only option. Pub was empty but waiting time was over an hour for food.
It was separate from the bar. Rooms were huge and clean. Great views. Very central. Breakfast was lovely.

United KingdomBreakfast starting too late to make the 10.30 ferry from Belfast.
Beautifully decorated and quite unique, it was also very comfortable and in a great waterfront location. We were disappointed by not being able to make breakfast as we were leaving for the ferry, but this was more than made up for by the takeaway BLTs prepared for us by the chef. We ate at Ownies the pub next door and had a lovely meal and evening with live music. Would definitely stay there again.
