Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 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...).

GermanyThe house seems a bit dated and the entrance hall unfortunately smells of stale smoke. Getting rid of that smell would help a lot as it is the first impression you get.
Location is perfect, just 5 minutes walking and you are in the center. There is free parking and the mini fridge in the room was super nice. The owner is super friendly and happy to give tipps.

IrelandJust one thing. As my clean,comfortable room was in front of the house, it would be better to have a voile curtain on the window for privacy.
A lovely warm welcome by James, even though I had to arrive later. We had an interesting chat about the gorgeous original paintings in the hallway and throughout. (not for sale, lol) Kettle, Tea and Coffee in my room, a priority for me.

IrelandParking is a squeeze, and the road can be congested during peak times, but I managed. Perhaps if you are driving a large vehicle this might be an issue.
Excellent location, half-way between the city centre and the Salthill promenade [both walking distance]. The area is also quiet [away from the revellers in town]. The owner is friendly and knowledgable.

BelgiumI had to wait a little while to have someone answer at the door when I first arrived, which worried me. There was no breakfast included, conversely to what was indicated on Booking.com; it was one of the reason I had booked this room. The room itself could have been cleaner: the furniture was a little dusty, the floor not vacuumed. The bathroom was clean, though.
The person taking care of the B&B was friendly and helpful. The room is tiny but okay, and includes a fridge. Localization is great, I was in the city center in less than 20 minutes walking.

CanadaSound does carry. This is not a complaint but it is an older house and does happen.
Very friendly and helpful owner who will let you know where to go for good food, drinks, and night out. 15-20 minute walk from the bus station. Good place for people who are not planning on being around much except to sleep.
