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...).

United KingdomThe en suite shower wasn’t working but that’s not enough to deduct marks! This property was perfect! Only thing of note is that it is out of the way so you definitely need to drive. But the area is so beautiful!
It was so spacious, the beds were super comfy. The on site restaurant was lovely!

IrelandAs soon we walked into the property you were bombarded with notes everywhere from the homeowner. They were stuck at the TV, walls of the living room, bedrooms and kitchen. When you book somewhere you want it to feel a home away from home but it was made very clear from the start we were in someone else's home and every note stated you were going to be charged for certain offences. Kim even had a list attached to a kitchen cabinet door of all listed utensils. It had not had a deep clean in a long time dead flys on every windowsil and dust
The location was fab it was an amazing getaway with friends and very relaxing and quiet. We would stay here again but not in Kim's but within the area yes.

United KingdomIt seems tired and in need of some TLC. Generally clean and tidy but on closer inspection, a greater attention to detail could go into cleaning for example, one of the twin beds had sand or grit under the quilt on the sheet which would give me the impression it hadn’t been changed. Tea towel in kitchen was extremely dirty. Hand towel in en-suite was damp on arrival, again giving the impression it’s not been changed. Cabinet in en-suite covered in dirt / grit and doesn’t seem to have been wiped in a while. Utensil tray for cutlery very dirty and stained. Toilet brush very rusted and really need changed. Outside wooden banister rotten and falling down. Cobwebs (lots) inside the blinds and windows (clearly not cleared in a while). Inside of fridge dirty on arrival. Generally facade of outside is covered in lots of cobwebs. Lots of signs handwritten by host stuck all around the house warning of loss of security deposit for even minor things make it seem a little unwelcome, this information would be better in the information pack. No information on how to use heating, had to work it out ourselves.
Spacious which met our needs as a family of 5. Main bedroom was nice, bed very comfortable. Beautiful location.
