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 reviewPeople working in bar helpful and friendly. Issues resolved quickly. Parking easy, right in the centre of town. Extended my stay last minute & in the same room which was such a help.
Unavoidable but fire alarm went off numerous times late at night, no water first two days (staff quickly acknowledged and resolved professionally), floodlights shining directly into room all night, music blasting outside window (staff resolved on one of the nights). Stay if you are a single or couple and coming for a few nights.

Verified reviewThe staff were incredible, very helpful and above all incredibly professional! Especially the young girl with the Dark hair who worked behind the bar she was amazing!! She was there every time we went in, unfortunately we didn’t catch her name but regardless, We felt very welcome and we will definitely be booking again in future
Public transport in and out of the town was horrendous, barely anything available. But the local taxi man was unreal, mighty craic.

Verified reviewStaff were great. Bed comfy. Shower was cold on the first evening. Breakfast was too late at 9 as I was working. Rooms were a bit tired. The emergency exit light was out side my door and as there was glass above the door is was shining all night.

Verified reviewBreakfast at Germaine's was excellent, with a wide variety of choices (including healthy options). Other places for meals are within easy reach if required; we can recommend Horan's bar, across the street, for dinner. The hotel is in the centre of Baltinglass, which was ideal for the purpose of our visit. Although a large private event with scores of guests was being held in the hotel on the evening of our stay, our room (directly above the event) was completely untroubled by noise. Free on-street parking was available immediately outside the hotel.
Our double room was dominated by the bed, which itself was very compact for a double bed (it should be said, however, that we both slept very well in it). The electric kettle and cups were without tea, coffee, milk, or sweeteners, and we would have liked to have glasses for water. The view from the windows was to the back of the hotel; a room in the front of the hotel would have had a more attractive view out on to the main street. There is no special reception area - reception is handled in the bar, but a visitor has to find that out. However, since we were visiting Baltinglass briefly for a concert nearby, none of the above detracted from our stay.

Verified reviewNoise from a loud air conditioner unit located outside window which went on every 7/8 minutes, and then went off again after 7/8 minutes. Completely disrupted my sleep. No breakfast available in the restaurant which was next door to the building where the bedrooms were, until 9am. Musty building.
