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.).

CanadaAs the pub is downstairs, it does get a bit noisy at night. The floor boards are a little creaky. If you walk heavily, you might hear lots of creaking. The lights at the head of the bed aren't working.
The host was very very friendly. I've booked a single room and he upgraded me to a double room. So very kind of him to do so. I had to get up early in the morning to catch my flight. I did get a good rest the night prior using the ear plugs and wasn't too bothered by the party downstairs in the pub. The toilet/shower was also spacious so you don't feel like you are squeezed in a tiny bathroom. The bus stop to the airport is right in front of the hotel. Just check out and wait for the bus if you don't have a lot of luggage with you.

United StatesCheck-in procedure could have been clearer. Music was loud, but we appreciated the ear plugs. The hotel website made the location above a pub clear but that was less clear on the Booking page.
Clean and comfortable. Close to bus stops, although also easy walking to city center. Breakfast was extra, but quite tasty and plentiful. Staff was super nice!

UruguayThe room was so cold when we arrived, and the heater didn't work the entire night. It was freezing. They handed out a manual heater but it was too small for one night and blankets were not enough. The room was very clean, except for the toilet that was not entire properly cleaned from previous usage.
The room was very tidy, and clean. The personnel were very kind from the very beginning. You had everything you need for a night and the bar/restaurant just right downstairs. Even the restaurant was closed when we arrived, they kindly gave us options to find a meal near the place. I will recommend and come back, with previous contact to solve the issue mentioned below

IrelandLovely lively bar with good quality pints. The room was no 5 star and we weren’t expecting one. We were up in Dublin for the Rugby and we wanted a cheap room with a bed and a shower and that’s what we got. The room was small, but we fitted in fine. Staff were friendly and attentive. The manager Leroy offered us a free coffee on departure. We decided to stay and have the full breakfast which was as good as you will get anywhere. This is not a 4 star or 5 star hotel. This is a b& b over a pub so this is what you are paying for.
