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 reviewThe location of the property is excellent for us to see the area. House is in a quiet neighborhood and we had plenty of beds to sleep. Although best if you have a car, there is a bus stop close by.
The kitchen had damaged pots I would not use, the outside terrace had broken steps so couldn't use it. Beds were comfortable but pillows were too high for us and would have appreciated summer duvets instead of heavy ones in the beds. Kitchen only had five cups, bowls etc which is odd for a house that would sleep more than that. Would have also appreciated wine glasses.

Verified reviewQuiet location and a good base for exploring the area. Spacious house, comfortable living room, and excellent sleeping conditions. Host is friendly
The kitchen isn't well-equipped. It's difficult to prepare a meal with the available pans. We also missed kitchen towels. The house was functionally clean, but could have been a bit better. The garden isn't inviting to relax in

Verified reviewQuiet location, basic cleanliness
The kitchen was missing essential equipment, the terrace was unsafe and unusable, there was a persistent smell in the living room which made us avoid it during our stay, the rooms were quite cold, one room was missing towels and the washing machine was full of laundry, hence couldn't be used. The host did not communicate at all as if they did not care. I wish their accommodation was better maintained and the host would show they care. This was our sixth apartment on our Irish roadtrip and while on the pricier side, it was easily the most disappointing. I'll make sure to trust the rating next time.

Verified reviewGood house in a nice quiet area away from the town. Well equipped.
Memory foam mattress and pillows are far too hard to sleep on. A welcome pack of fresh bread, milk, butter would be handy. The back garden area is very unkempt and needs a lot of work to bring it up to standard you'd expect. Fine for one night but wouldn't be happy with that if you were there for longer.

Verified reviewThe property was easy to get to and easy to access. I had to find accommodation for the same day, so for a last minute find, and place to rest for the night it was fine. Beds were very comfortable and we all slept well.
There could be more attention to detail. There were not enough towels for 3 people, and there was rubbish left in a corner at the top of the stairs. The TV worked intermittently and eventually stopped working all together. The property is quite charming and with a little tidying up in the garden at the front and back, would be a great holiday stay for a family.

Verified reviewVery disappointed with the property. There were wet towels in the washing machine and dirty dishes in the dishwasher. There was zero information about the property and as a consequence we couldn’t get the heather working. 😠 The tv didn’t work so I let the owner know. He did send somebody around but they couldn’t fix it. He was going to send the owner but they didn’t turn up. So no tv for two nights. The backyard was over grown with weeds and there were building materials piled up in a few places. Also lots of empty bottles stacked against the fence.
Dear Guest, we appreciate your feedback!!! This feedback will help us to improve our services! We contacted the cleaner company and lodge a formal complaint! Also, regarding the heating system, it’s clearly mentioned on panel how to turn on & off the heaters!!! We have a formal contract for Eir broadband & 55” smart TV 📺 which is the most popular service we offer!! If you couldn’t use it or familiar with it then we could come and help you out, however you mentioned it on your second night !!! Also, you mentioned that it’s very expensive! We can accommodate 6 guests for a night with three rooms two toilets and kitchen with big sitting room !! Thanks once again for your kind feedback Much appreciated
