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...).

IrelandIt's a little tired and could do with a small face lift. Needs a couple of lamps in the sitting room, as there was only main headlight which is too bright to sit in during the evening.(We brought the one small bedside lamp into the sitting room for the evening). It would be helpful to be given some accurate information on parking facilities ie location, cost, timings etc, as we had to drive around a bit to figure it out. Was easy once we figured it out, but would've been a nice touch to have been given that info by the host. The cost for the 2 nights in September was pretty high in our opinion (€300!), although it was clear to see there were lots of tourists around and the town was busy, with a good atmosphere.
Undoubtedly, the best thing about this apartment is it's location. Right in the center of Cobh close to everything, with good views looking over the sea. It has all the facilities you would need re kitchen etc. However, the crockery, utensils etc were haphazard, which is a simple & easy fix for the host. (only 1 small wine glass, so had to go and buy 2!). Had a fridge & separate freezer which would be helpful for those staying longer than a weekend. Also a full oven as well as a microwave.

South AfricaToiletries left over from previous person, towel hanging in bathroom that seemed used. So not sure if bedding was changed from previous visitor. No tv, no Wifi, no private parking - but parking in that part of Cobh is very difficult - payed parking a small distance from apartment.
Good location. In the central part of town. Seaview from front windows.

IrelandSince I couldn't reach the owner, I called customer service. Customer service reached the owner. The owner told me to cancel my stay and that he would refund the fee. I sent a request to cancel the stay. He didn't approve and since I didn't stay, my fee wasn't refunded!!! I was scammed and I will start legal processes against both @booking.com and this apartment owner

IrelandThe place wasn't clean at all. Used towels in the bathroom. The room was filty. The bed sheets looked like they had blood on them and we had to take them off. There was a cup of water on the window and an open can of tuna in the drawer, which explained the smell. They left their washing in the machine. The person running the place made out that we didn't show up on this app and didn't meet us when we rang and complained about the mess of the place. He said said he would refund some of the money but never did. Without a doubt, the worst stay we ever had. Stay away.

AustraliaEverything. There wasn’t any communication in regard to how to get into the property. There wasn’t any parking as it was described with parking. There wasn’t any hot water in the bathroom. The rooms stunk of smoke and there was an ashtray in the kitchen. The smoke detector in the apartment was broken and the one downstairs continually buzzed. The entrance to the property smelt of stale urine
Not much

Irelandthe entrance to the property, looks very run down with rubbish via the letterbox on he floor and a bed matress against the wall, it doesnt give you a welcoming feeling, the stairs to the appartment are poorly lit and again are not very welcoming. the apartment itself has what you need, bed, bathroom and kitchen. if like us you book at the last minute, arrive late stay for 1 night and leave early it will do but if you are staying longer id go elsewhere to be honest. the double bed is small and tight against the wall, i moved it away from the wall for access to the other side only to see, a used plaster, hair bobins and what looked to me like filters from cigarettes (i think im not a smoker) and a lot of gathered dust, i quickly moved it back, there was a bag of rubbish still by the bin in the kitchen, i can only assume from the last people to stay there, that had not been taken away. the location is the winner and if a bit of attention went into this property then it would also be a winner but in its current condition its not. location 10 out of 10 property 3 out of 10
location 10 out of 10 right in the middle of Cobh close to everything really really good.

United KingdomReally disappointed. This was a new property on Booking.com. But it was like a student flat from 30 years ago. The flat isn't up to even the basic standard we've come to expect from a holiday rental (and we have stayed in many holiday homes over the years). It needs more attention. Due to the smell of paint (which caused a headache and breathing difficulties) we only stayed for one night instead of the three we had booked. Also, the Booking.com information stated that parking is available at the property - one of the reasons we booked it. This isn't the case. Street parking was very busy when we arrived. Also, access to the property is on a steep lane, blocked to cars at the lower end. We would not recommend.
