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.).

The bedroom is quite small, but considering we were only there to sleep this didn’t bother us.
It was a lovely property, with great breakfast included, convenient location and wonderfully hospitable host.

Nothing, we don’t mind the shared bathroom as long as it’s clean and spacious as it was the case
The house is cute tidy and clean, it boasts a beautiful view over the coast. The hosts are so kind and caring, it was a pleasure to share a few chats. Big highlight: breakfast is really good. Plus, few minutes walk from the place there’s a seafood restaurant (nancy’s) that is worth a visit. All in all we would come back 100%

No negatives!
Louise was so lovely and made our stay amazing. We had just spent a big day driving through Donegal and she met us at the property, and showed us the room and gave us clean towels. Louise made us the most lovely breakfast, catered to our preferences and gave us great suggestions of things to do in Donegal. We appreciated her local knowledge 😊 The house is only a few minutes drive from the city centre and there are lovely pubs and restaurants to eat dinner at.

Booked room for short overnight stay at great price. Louise is a very kind host. The bed was pre-warmed with electric blanket prior to arrival, breakfast order taken night before and ready next morning exactly at the requested time. Fantastic attention to detail overall, highly recommended and would not hesitate to return.

IF we had to say something, the Queen mattress could be upgraded as I’m sure it has seen its share of guests and was a bit uncomfortable.
Beautiful cottage style home. Lovely host Louise had every detail perfected. Made our one night stay just as comfortable as being at home. Our morning breakfast was 5*. We were not only provided a delicious traditional Irish Breakfast but she had provided a huge display of other breakfast items just in case. From a variety of cereals to croissants, yogurt, fruit etc… she also provided fresh brewed coffee and a variety of tea as well. We could not ask for anything. Host had every detail of running a Bed & Breakfast perfected and it was very much appreciated.
