Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

CyprusThe internet connection in the new block was rather slow.
The meals were excellent served by friendly, cheerful staff. The rooms in the main house were older than the new extension (obviously) but full of character. We had a small problem with our internet connection that staff quickly resolved. All in all an enjoyable stay.

FranceMiscommunication between the lobby and restaurant : on the one hand it is advertised that you can not book a table in advance. At reception, we were told just to walk in. However the restaurant manager told us we could not eat because we did not book a table. The restaurant was indeed full of customers who were obviously not from the hotel and came to enjoy an open air music show. Thanks to the waitress who made a special effort to arrange a table in the breakfast room. We were late and there was not much left on the menu. Just go to dinner very early to avoid this inconvenience.
The vistas and the fact that is secluded in the countryside. Room was large

IrelandThe room I was in had paper thin walls, so I was able to hear clearly the person in the next room while he had a long telephone conversation. Then I could hear his TV. Perhaps it was beyond anything the staff could do, but I was plagued with flies in the bar.
The location was amazing and the hotel was comfortable.

NorwayUnfortunately there was a fan outside the hotel going on all night. This was sad since it would be a really quiet place if this was not there. Had to wait for almost an hour for the breakfast. It was a set menu instead of buffet and just one person on duty. Old brewed coffee.....
Lovely view over the mountains from the room. Had a room on the top floor. The hotel had a nice terrace for drinks in the evening.
