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...).

AustraliaWe had to change rooms as we were initially in a room with a door to an adjoining room. The door was not a proper door so we could hear every word our neighbours said. The next room overlooked the front driveway. This was fine until we experienced some sort of car rally in the front drive in the wee hours with cars driving around and around on the gravel. There were no events on so not sure what was happening but it was very noisy.
Beautiful location with a very good restaurant. Staff were helpful and accomodating. The view from the bar area was absolutely stunning!

IrelandWe had dinner in the evening. The food was good, but a minor issue was the serving staff appeared to be part-time, possibly young students. Though they tried their best, services was not good.
The accommodation was a one bedroom apartment. The living room/kitchen area was spacious. The bathroom had a heated floor, which was excellent. The only issue was the livingroom lighting switch which cauesd the lights to flicker on and off, so we had to switch off the lights. The breakfast was excellent

Czech RepublicThe equipment of apartment is a bit older and all the interior doors of the apartment bang terribly when closing themselves, which is disturbing especially at night. One bathroom is not enough for all three rooms (6 peoples).
We have one apartment with 3 big clean rooms, living room with view and kitchen. Breakfast was very good. Hotel is near to Sligo, in a beautiful landscape.

United StatesThe only thing I did not like was the location from the city center but it didn't really matter because we had a car and could travel easily anywhere. The location was nice and quiet and next to a golf course. Lovely facility.
The hotel had breakfast and it was great! The rooms were comfortable (we stayed in an apartment type room). We used the kitchen to cook and the rooms were very comfortable.

IrelandWe arrived to find an empty wine bottle in our room after the previous guests, the door fell of a very old stand alone wardrobe when I opened it, breakfast staff seemed a little overwhelmed with the amount of people for breakfast and the greens keeping staff start extremely early disturbing our rest, we stayed in the front of the house.

SlovakiaWe had to change the appartment after arrival. In the first one, one of the rooms had a wet floor probably due to leaking radiator. There was a moldy, bad smell probably because of that. In the second appartment, the water flusher in the toilette was malfunctioning. Moreover, the bathroom ventilator was also always on, which was noisy in the night. All internal doors shutting automatically doesn't make sense either...
Nice location and beautifully green surroundings. Big rooms, lots of space. Great breakfast with many options!

We stayed in a 2 bedroomed appartment and it was great to have the additional space for a family to relax. Teenage boys enojoyed the golf and we found it very reasonably priced.
