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 reviewGreat location. Lovely family room with excellent bathroom. Nice common room.
The kitchen wasn't easy to cook with others - the hob can only be accessed by one person at a time and the worktop space is very limited.

Verified reviewWe loved the peace of Brú na Dromoda. It is very welcoming, tranquil and homey. The kitchen is well equipped and it was fun to play a board game or two in the living room. The views around the hostel are beautiful and the staff were lovely and communicated well throughout. There is a little community-ran shop and pub next door for any essentials. If you're by car, it's an excellent pit stop off the Ring of Kerry for the night!
The bathroom in the private bedroom was a little rustic, but all clean and functional!

Verified reviewIts super clean and very homy. We love the living room area. The view from there is amazing, the scenic mountain and a feeling of tranquil. The location is remote but this is what we like and we wanted to feel the warmth and hospitality of Rural Ireland and we absolutely experienced it.

Verified reviewThe shop and pub close by are a welcome additional facility in such a remote location. Especially for people arriving without a motorised vehicle. Also the heating came on in August on a particularly chilly day. Much appreciated, especially in the bathroom!

Verified reviewThe room was clean.
We were emailed a day before to be told that a football team would be on the property and that it would be busy. The host promised us that there would be parking spots reserved for guests. When we arrived, the staff was quiet rude to us when we were trying to park and kept telling us to go down one car park, at every single car park. We had driven past all of the carparks within a mile radius before reaching out to the host. The host said they would arrange the parking, then never got back to us again. We had to drive into the city and wait it out until the team left, which was so frustrating after a long day in the car. The host also told us that they would be leaving before we were checking in and to just head up to the room. They gave us directions to the wrong room, and we had ask around before someone eventually showed us where the check in information and keys were, which was for some reason not included in the host's message. Additionally, someone kept trying to enter our private room at night. On three separate occasions in the middle of the night, someone banged on our door and tried to open the locked door, without responding to any of our questions, which made the room feel quite unsafe.
