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 reviewBreakfast could have been a bit more interesting. Perhaps a croissant or pastry could be included The location was excellent
There was a fridge and a kettle in the bedroom. It would have been nice to have cups and tea bags provided and water glasses.

Verified reviewThe accommodation was well-priced. The bedroom with private shower was lovely: very spacious, clean and airy. The staff were very welcoming, friendly and helpful.
The communal areas of the courtyard and kitchen were a little less clean, but this was understandable in a busy, child-friendly and dog-friendly establishment. The pressure in the bathroom wash basin cold tap was liable to go from a drip to a strong surge, but this is just a detail.

Verified reviewAn amazing location. It is a lodge not a hotel. It is make your own breakfast and not fancy. But we loved our time there. Jess was fantastic. O’Neills pub next door has fantastic musicians on Sunday nights.
Our bed was tired - we solved it by adding spare Donna’s underneath the mattress protector- however we didn’t complain as the property was good value and everything else especially location was brilliant

Verified reviewThe village of Allihies is at the tip of the Bera Peninsula. There is a nice beach there and there are mountains for hiking. It’s a quaint little village with a couple of pubs.
The breakfast wasn’t much of a breakfast. However, if you brought your own ingredients, you could probably make your own breakfast. Because there is a kitchen there.

Verified reviewThis was a lovely place. Jess the owner was very welcoming and helpful. It had been a hostel in a previous life but now all rooms are individual bookings. We stayed in the double room with an ensuite. We liked the self-catering shared kitchen facilities and the breakfast items. There is a nice outdoor courtyard area for when the weather is good, The place in general was lovely, quiet and easy-going.
A shared living area to sit and perhaps watch TV later in the evening would be a nice addition.
Thank you very much for staying with us. We are glad that you had a lovely stay. Hope to see you again.

Verified reviewThe location for where we needed to be was excellent. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. Messages were always answered very quickly. We liked the idea of being able to cook you own food, which would be very good if we came back. The room was kept warm with the heater which was very much appreciated.
The room was very basic. We had an issue with the shower on the night of our arrival, it was rectified by the morning.
