Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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 StatesI realize the hotel can’t control their guests, but some of the guests were very loud outside on the porch our room after 11:00 PM.
The location is secluded and quiet. The hotel provided a small breakfast.

A unique experience in the countryside of Ireland. It deserves more than one day stay Warm and gentle welcoming Despite being clear that breakfast was not included in the service, we were provided by the owner with many food items that made it easy to arrange a rich morning meal (and thank you, the cake was delicious)

United KingdomOur rooms was on the top floor up in the eves and found it a little small for two of us, but nothing much the owner can down with how the bedroom is built into the eves. The shower also needs a little looking into as the head has gone and the seal needs re sealing only a couple of minor things, as we really enjoyed our stay and woudln't go back anytime.
Great location in the countryside so nice and quiet, but also if you want you can be in Marlow as an example within 20 minutes or so. We stayed on our motorbikes and found it a great place for a base whereby we could ride all over the south west coast area without any issues. There is a local pub within 5 minutes walk from the BB which we found great for a place to walk to at the end of the day, but be aware they don't sell food so eat before getting back. The host was great a really freindly lady and was always there to welcome us and stop for a chat. When we arrived she made us very welcome and showed us the whole place so we wouldn't get lost as much as the place is massive. Really is a great place and do stay as it's a home from home and you'll leave as a friend.

United StatesNo negatives.
The Grove house is a beautiful farm house in the country! Great gardens on the grounds! Great amenities! But the best part is the warm friendly service provided by Jackie, the hostess. She is a delightful woman who we became very good friends with. She went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable. She helped us find people in the area we knew from 27 years ago when we stayed in this area on our honeymoon. She was a wealth of knowledge. It was a wonderful experience staying there.

IrelandEverything was great. The bed linen would be the only suggestion I would have as it was not the best quality but the beds were very comfortable and the facilities were excellent, and the host did explain I got the last room which was more basic than the others.
The location was gorgeous with very pleasant views of the surrounding countryside.
