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.).

AustraliaThe body wash provided was hand soap. The room was very noisy especially early in the morning when we got woken to kegs being delivered.
Bed was comfortable and large. A fan was in our room which was nice for summer.

ItalyThe room we got was probably above the kitchen, so when we arrived there was a bit of smell, but it disappeared later on after the kitchen closed.
The room was big enough, with a comfortable bed. The bathroom had good facilities. Excellent location in the city center, close to affordable parking lots. The restaurant offers traditional food and beers, with live music and a friendly staff.

United KingdomOnly I could have done with an additional towel. I am sure I could have asked for one but didn’t. Very noisy when the pubs around the property closed but that died down eventually and could happen in any town.
Breakfast was lovely, beds comfy. Could have done with an extra towel. Bedrooms (we booked 2) were newly decorated and gorgeous. No lift - it is an older property so probably not possible to have one. Centrally located and a 24 hour car park close by. Really lovely stay and this is the second time we have stayed.

United Statesbed was 2 twins put together but still comfortable
Location was fabulous. We loved the Hotel and the owner is lovely but the highlight of our trip was the grandson to the owner. His name is Colm who works in the bar. He was warm, welcoming and very personable. I cant speak highly enough of him especially being in the bar business myself over 30 years. I would go back again and again and again. Lovely Hotel

United KingdomNoisy with the windows open but that’s what you expect staying in the centre of town. Would be nice if parking was part of the hotel as we were lucky to find a parking spot in the next door public carpark.
Great location right in the centre of town. Newly renovated room, the shower was great. Good dinner recommendation after arriving late.

Good value for the money. Excellent location. No elevator, which we knew and was not a problem for us. If you have a lot/heavy luggage, it could be. Check in was efficient. Staff was clearly more interested in getting thru it than being helpful. Can’t comment on restaurant as attitude of staff at check in convinced me I would go elsewhere.

IrelandMy partner is lactose intolerant, and they didn't have non dairy milk options, so we had to go somewhere else for breakfast. Also the tv wouldn't switch on we were only there one night so we didn't ask staff for assistance.
Tastefully decorated, great value and the restaraunt serves good food.

New ZealandCheck-in is a bit confusing - you are told to go upstairs, but there was noone there so the chef had to run down to grab someone. Not a deal breaker but something that could be refined.
We chose the Failte because of its central location for a one night stay on our way up to Dublin. We were really pleasantly surprised by the beautifully refurbished room - the bed was a great size, and very comfy and the shower was the best we've had on our trip! For what we needed it absolutely delivered.

United StatesIt is a bit dated, but they were installing new carpet when we were there. Cigarette smoke was in the halls and room due to the pub downstairs as people stand outside and smoke, which comes in and gets trapped. I am allergic so this is the only complaint I have.
This hotel is a wonderful place to stay and it’s in an excellent location. The staff offered excellent customer service with easy check-in. We enjoyed the restaurant on the second floor. The lamb chops on mash with gravy was super delicious. The national park is a couple of minutes away, and you are steps away from all of the shops and restaurants in Killarney. We were driving a rental car and parked in the large parking lot that was steps from the hotel. We would definitely stay there again as it is so centrally located.

United StatesThe stairs and hallway leading to the rooms smelled of stale beer and smoke which is odd since you are not allowed to smoke in the rooms. Our room did not have an odor. The beds were mediocre in comfort.
Great location with close parking. The rooms were over the bar which we enjoyed because of the live music we could hear from our room. Restaurants and pubs were all very close.
