How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewA lovely welcome with the finest pot of tea. A welcoming fireplace. The nicest linens. And a delicious breakfast.
Occasional noisy pipes

Verified reviewKristina, the host, was very friendly. The breakfast menu was also nice.
The grounds around the house definitely need some cleaning up. There is a 90s era TV in the room, but it doesn't work. There's also one downstairs of the same vintage. The owner had no idea how to work it. The room was way overpriced. We stayed at full service hotels in Blarney and Glen Gariff for roughly the same price.

Verified reviewOur stay at this B&B was fab. Christina, the host, has put so much care and soul into every detail. She welcomed us warmly and served a wonderful breakfast complete with freshly squeezed orange juice. The breakfast selection was fantastic, and the table was set so beautifully with elegant porcelain. I t felt special and thoughtful. The rooms were spotless clean. Christina herself is an absolute gem, making the whole experience feel personal and memorable.
Hi All, Thank you so much for your very generous review, It was a pleasure to host you. I hope you all enjoyed your stay with me, had a lovely visit to West Cork and got home safely to Mallow. Looking at the evening news yesterday, new talks seem to be in progress, lets pray for a speedy & successful conclusion to this dreadful war. Best wishes, Christina

Verified reviewThis was our best night. First we were lost, google sent us across the street and she came out and found us. Once there she made a special tea for my sore throat started a little fire for us and had a puzzle laying out. WE LOVE PUZZLES! The next morning she had breakfast for us and even showed my daughter how to use butter paddles. She told us of an amazing place to visit, which we did! I can't give her enough stars!
I didn't like that google maps had her BNB on the other side of the road and I was very happy that she came over to find us.

Verified reviewWonderful Irish hospitality. Our hostess helped secure a table for dinner, even offered us a lift to town. The breakfast kept us going all day, no need for lunch.
