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...).

South AfricaThe shower was push button and lasts about 2 min. No tea or coffee in room.
The room was big with its own toilet and shower. Being hostel type accommodation it was what we expected. Well situated to vineyard Main Street.

AustraliaShowers weren't very hot, not so much of an issue in September but hopefully in winter they're a bit warmer!
Great location for exploring the Beara Peninsular and Ring of Kerry, it's a tiny town so everything is walking distance. Our host Maureen was hilarious although I'm not sure if she realizes it. Lockup storage for bikes is very handy, and the room was nice and clean.

IrelandVery friendly reception, lady that showed us around the accomadation was very helpful and welcoming. My sister and I stayed in a private room with shared bathroom. Bathroom was spotless clean, ideal. Whole house was immaculate. Beds very comfy, sink in room. Location literally in the centre of town. Everything that was available/not available/ house rules were very clearly communicated so you know what to expect.

New ZealandThere was quite a bad body odour smell in the hallway between the bathrooms and rooms. However I would say this was probably due to another guests coat that was hanging up rather than the fault of the accomodation.
Helpful staff at check in who gave good dinner recommendations. Basic but comfortable bed in a shared room. The bathroom facilities were clean and tidy.

LithuaniaIt is quite expensive considering the quality of the room. There was a strange smell throughout the facilities, and the windows and doors didn't provide much sound isolation. However, I think it's acceptable for a one-night stay.
Central place. Friendly host. Showed the most popular bars and a quick tour of the town map.

CanadaMaybe more outlets/extension power bars for all bunk beds to have plenty of charging options. I was good, got one by my bed but saw other roommates having to charge phones across the room. They were all still able to charge but in a group stay environment you feel safer charging right where you sleep.
Great location, amazing price, very comfortable bed in the dorm room. I have never seen proper thick mattresses on bunk beds, didn't leave much space to sit up on the bottom bunk but so comfortable and I didn't come there to sit. Host is very friendly and gave us great food and live music recommendations. Place was clean, felt like home.
