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.).

Our host, Barbara, was the epitome of Irish hospitality. The facilities are beautiful and immaculate. Breakfast was bountiful with local yogurt, breads and jams. It is a perfect 20 minute walk into Bantry or to bus stop in either direction.

ItalyIreland is the place of my soul, and this B&B has been the perfect place to enjoy my Irish time of the year. The house is located within a short walking distance of the city centre, where you can find numerous good pubs and restaurants. Barbara is a wonderful host and a lovely person; she also cooks an excellent breakfast! The energy of Atlantic Shore is special: everything is clean, bright, and you can feel the love in the details. We were honoured to meet (and be kissed by) Walter!

IrelandI loved everything about our 2 night stay at Atlantic Shore B&B. Barbara was the nicest most down to earth host ever. The room was beautifully decorated and the beds were so comfy! It's a lovely quiet location for a great night's sleep but also only a short walk down to Bantry town. The breakfast was the pièce de résistance of the experience. Beautiful homemade granola, fresh fruit and locally made yogurt to name some of the many delicious options available. I would recommend it to all my friends.

Barbara gave us local info re where to eat how to book ahead of our trip which was so helpful & we ate out at one of her recommendations which was lovely.

United KingdomThe television was not working properly and might have been better on the wall rather than on top of the wardrobe. Breakfast could have been even better with the addition of Irish sausages or bacon.
Location very good for exploring the peninsula around Bantry Bay. And our host was very helpful with local information. The use of a communal kitchen area with all its facilities was very good. Breakfast was great especially all the extras, fruits, cereals, breads etc.
