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.).

United KingdomThe breakfast was a little disappointing; the pancakes tasted as though they had come from a packet.
There was a lovely walk around the property. The room was spacious and comfortable. The staff were very friendly and it was convenient to be able to get a meal on site.

IrelandRoom was very warm, no air con did provide a fan however no bottled water provided especially with how hot the day was when we stayed it would have been nice to have to ensure their guests were hydrated as the hotel is not located near the town, shop or garage to go buy some.

United KingdomThe hotel is a little dated. The shower ran hot and cold and positioned over the bath was awkward to get into. I felt unsteady using the shower. The taps in the sink were very stiff to turn.
The bed was excellent and I got a good a good nights sleep. Even with two evening functions going on there was no noise to prevent sleep. The breakfast was excellent and good value for money.

IrelandThe use of duvet with no top sheet. Duvets are too warm this time of year so you have to decide; be too hot or be uncovered. This is in most hotels now here in Ireland and with no A/C it is not realistic.

United KingdomLack of a fridge - though I know fridges are often not standard in Ireland and UK. Lack of a vegetarian option with protein for dinner though the Thai red curry we had with veg and basmati rice was delicious.
The staff in all areas - reception, housekeeping, at the restaurant were friendly and helpful. When we asked for anything eg towels, ice it came very fast - much better service than in any other hotel i have stayed in around the world. Beautiful grounds and a v good breakfast. Daughter had fun playing with the rubber duck - cute touch! Also responses were v fast even when making enquiries before our stay.
