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.).

United StatesBreakfast was plentiful and good, a little variety from day to day maybe would be nice. The floor boards in my room were squeaking every time I walked on them, a little bit annoying maybe, not sure if the sound travels to other rooms.
Cozy, guest house just outside the city center which is a 10-minute walk away. It's no frills, but clean, quiet and comfortable. The staff was wonderful and very attentive. The breakfast room is very nice with a view of the garden.

NorwayNothing.
Cozy, authentic guest house in walking distance to the city centre. Excellent staff, giving brilliant advice on best restaurants and other experiences. Truly exceptional staff, all three of them; Mike, Fergus and the woman serving breakfast (don’t know her name). Beautiful winter garden with lots of daylight where breakfast is served. You feel as you are staying in someone’s home. Parking available on the front porch of the premises. Very convenient.

BahrainIt was very conveniently located, close to the city centre but not so close you would be disturbed by noises. You can easily walk there in less than 10min. And if you don’t feel like walking there are busses that pass right outside. Breakfast was good: there was a fresh fruitsalad, Greek yogurt and freshly baked croissants for example.

ItalyThe Asgard guest house is just a short walk from Galway city centre. The bedrooms are small but cozy and cleaned every day. You might sometimes hear a soft creaking sound due to the house floors being made of wood. The breakfast is super and served by Ms. Bettina, a kind young lady with a beautiful smile, very helpful and welcoming. Mr Fergal and Mr Mike will surely welcome you making you feel comfortable during your stay.

United StatesWe had to park on the street one night as the lot was full. On the street, we had to get up by 8:30am to pay the meter. Not a problem, but worth noting in the listing.
Mike checked us in, gave us recommendations, and made us feel very welcome. The room was clean and comfortable for two. It is a 20min walk from Latin Quarter and only a bit further from The Crane Bar. We felt safe walking back at night.

United StatesThe bed and pillows were awful. Very hard. The room was small and I would hit the wall when turning over in bed. The bathroom with my room (#6) was private and big which was nice. However, it was two flights downstairs from the room. Breakfast wasn’t included. I paid €10 a day for a continental breakfast of breads, cold cereal, yogurt, fruit salad, salami and cheese and drinks. Wasn’t worth the price in my opinion.
The location to the bus station was great! Location to city was great as well. Staff was very nice.

United StatesWe would have liked to have a gathering space for our family at the end of the day. It would have enhanced our visit to have the atrium open at least till 10pm...preferably with tea available in a group space.
The draw for me when booking was the beautiful breakfast atrium....and it was quite nice. The breakfast was quite good. Our room was very comfortable.
