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 reviewWe stayed in this property for one night while attending the Cork Limerick match. The house was clean, the rooms were comfortable, and towels were provided — all as expected. The listing clearly stated the host lived on-site, and quiet hours were advised from 10pm to 8am, which we fully respected.
We returned quietly around 2.30am and made every effort not to disturb anyone — no talking, just straight to bed. However, despite the check-out time being clearly listed as 11am, the host began making significant noise around 9.15am — including loud door banging, going up and down the stairs repeatedly and even vacuuming briefing on our floor while we were still resting. At 10.30am, they knocked on each of our doors to remind us we had 30 minutes left, which felt unnecessary and intrusive given we were well within the agreed timeframe and were not running late.
Thank you for your review Sinéad. I'm glad you found my home exactly as stated on booking site with everything provided. You are correct, quiet times are stated as 10pm to 8am, and therefore, guests that left early that morning did comply with no noise prior to 8am, just as you clarified in your review. When they close their doors after 8am, if they make noise, it's not a breech of house rules. Once guests check out, I do start housekeeping, normally leaving it until after 10am to be fair on remaining guests, like your party, so I have rooms prepared in time for next arrival, and therefore I did Hoover after 10am as normal. I obliged your party on check in day, authorising an early check in, 2 hours prior to stated check in time, to accommodate you & your party, and i did not charge extra for early check-in request. . I did prompt your party 30 minutes prior to check out time, as your party was still in bed, to allow you time to shower and pack up before departure, although none of your group actually showered in the end, and did leave at the stated check out time. Wishing you the very best, Warmest regards Sinéad

Verified reviewThe house was clean and comfortable. The guest bedrooms were upstairs. The owner lived downstairs. The bathroom was shared with other guests, but since I seemed to be the only one there was no problem.
The room was a little spartan (a single bed, a wardrobe, and a nightstand), almost like a hostel, which it wasn't. Although it may be a little cramped for some I had no problem. Since I just needed a place to stay for a couple of nights I was alright.
thank you for your feedback Tom. You are correct in facilities available during your stay, they are exactly as stated on booking site, so guests are available before booking. wishing you sage travels

Verified reviewHost was very friendly. The location was very good.
I think the place wasn't quite clean. The owner dog was barking a lot during the night. I asked owner if I can use microwave as there was no microwave or toaster available as I was on special diet so had to have my own food, but the owner refused, which wasn't nice. The place wasn't clean, lot of dogs hair on the carpet and luckily I had my own towels as the one I had prepared were smells...
thank you for your feedback Marcela, I hope you enjoyed the Great Limerick Run. unfortunately my rescue dog had a gasto infection & in a lot of pain, please god he makes a full recovery 🙏 interestingly, all towels left in your room were actually used & both very wet. You will see when you made your initial booking, list of all facilities available to guests were listed, before you completed your booking . On reviewing, you will see that there was no microwave or toaster listed, with total transparency with amenities available to you, so I'm confused as to why you expected them to be available with your booking. My dog does not have access to areas of house guests use, and website does inform you the property does have a dog. Thanks again for your feedback, best wishes

Verified reviewLocation has great transport links and the bus takes just 20 minutes to get to the city center. Just a 2 minute walk from the house there is a restaraunt, pub, chipper, chemist and corner shop. Host was very friendly and informative. The bedroom and shared facilities were spotless and had everything I needed.
The bed was mostly comfortable but quite squeaky when moving around. There was also some barking on the first night that I couldn't tell if it was coming from inside the house or a neighbour, but it quieted down quickly enough.
Thank you for your lovely feedback Lauren, it was so lovely to meet with you. I look forward to welcoming you back again in the future.

Verified reviewLocation.
Very Small Box Room. Mattress was awful 😞. The dog barked in the kitchen. Facilities were non existent, barely had the use of the toilet and complimentary was a cheap chocolate bar and tiny bottle of water. The Owner was there making noise blowdrying her hair etc. I WOULD NOT STAY AGAIN!!
thank you for your feedback Caroline. so disappointing you had misunderstood the facilities stated on the site & were expecting something different to this. It also does state on the site that host does have a dog, and perhaps when booking accommodation in the future, you pick a property that does not have a dog, as this may suit your needs better. I don't actually have a hairdryer, so unsure what you thought you heard? 2 bathrooms were totally available to you, however, I think you chose not to take a shower during your stay. Wishing you more success when choosing accommodation in the future, and do bare in mind, you booked my home, based on facilities that were available to you during your stay, as clearly stated on the site. You also had access to pictures of bedrooms before booking, so were fully aware of size, etc also. Thankfully previous guests have been more than happy, and several return constantly, which does give me peace of mind, having read your review, Warmest regards
