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 reviewQuiet location. Rooms were clean. Cute cows in pasture next to B&B.
We didn’t realize that you had to check in by 8pm. Missed that when we booked. We were on a road trip and had to rush to get there by 10pm per management. It’s a bit far from town so once you’re there, there isn’t anything to do. The price was fair but didn’t include breakfast (extra charge) like other B&Bs we stayed at on our trip.
Lovely to meet you

Verified reviewThis property was easy to find and check in was smooth and straight forward. I had been chatting with Mary prior to arriving and I found that I was given lots of useful information on the lead up to my stay which I found extremely helpful, especially as I am a solo traveller. The room I was in was perfect for me and what I was looking for, double bed and en suit, kettle facilities and a tv which I don’t normally use but took full advantage of. The bed was comfy and the shampoo and shower gel was brilliant as I didn’t think to bring these with me. Breakfast was delicious. A variety of hot made to order meals alongside cereals, fruit and juices to help yourself too. I had a full Irish breakfast and a coffee. All the staff I met along my stay were friendly, asking about my stay and informative when talking about the area and things to do. If I am ever in Dingle again I will be trying to stay here. Thanks ladies. Your home is lovely and welcoming.

It was a pleasure to meet you Louise, thanks for 10. Delighted

Verified reviewOur stay at the Murphy's Farmhouse B&B was really lovely. The staff was very nice and the breakfast was wonderful (although it was not included in the rate quoted by Booking.com) Very clean and comfortable. I was sad that we only stayed at this location for 1 night. I would definitely stay here again if I have the opportunity!
I didn't realize that the cost of the breakfast wasn't included in the rate that I paid to Booking.com. Would have preferred paying this in advance and knowing that there was an extra charge for breakfast when I booked. However, the breakfast was lovely and I would definitely recommend it.
Thanks for your lovely review Donna, lovely meeting you
