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 are 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 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.).

United StatesAdorable country home not far from Derry and local spots. Quiet and peaceful. Clean and comfortable rooms and spacious bathroom. Owners Adian and Monica are friendly, opening and informative. They made the stay even more enjoyable. Would definitely stay here again if we ever visit the area again.

IrelandEverything was perfect.
Monica and her husband were absolutely lovely, kind hosts who went beyond to ensure our stay was comfy and enjoyable. Also, a world of knowledge of sights to see, where to eat and what to do. Everything we needed was laid on to ensure we enjoyed a home from home break. Our room was impeccably clean with a super, comfy bed for a perfect night's sleep in a quiet, country setting. Not to mention the super breakfast that Monica laid on each morning. We were set for the day. On our next trip to Derry, I have no hesitation in booking the Five Oaks again.

United KingdomNothing all good. Faultless presentation by an experienced friendly host.
The bed and breakfast is located just outside Derry in a beautiful quiet location. It is still really accessible and close to the A6. The house has a lovely garden with colourful plants and seating areas. The host was wonderful and gave lots of historical information on local buildings and things to see. The breakfast was amazing with lovely fresh fruit. The house was beautifully decorated, comfortable and clean. The bed in the room had a lovely mattress and I had a great night's sleep. I was tired and very grateful for the rest. there was good safe offroad parking.

GermanyWe spent the last 2 nights of our vacation at Monica's place and we regretted not having more days left to spend here. Monica is such a caring host, we had nice conversations with her and she gave a lot of tips for trips in the surrounding area. And then she surprised us with a small lunchbag packed with biscuits, tea and coffee for our day trip. Furthermore the house was exceptionally clean, but being very cosy even though. I slept so good as the house is very quiet located and the bed was really comfortable. I felt like home!

GermanyFive Oaks was definitely our best accommodation in North Ireland! Monica indulged us with a very delicious and nourishing breakfast, that left no wish unfulfilled. She was very helpful, had a lot of good advices for visiting Derry and created a warmth and comforting atmosphere in her home that had let us feel at home. She and her husband also offered us a lift to the town (with a little tour and lots of informations and a stop at a beautiful viewing point) and the next bus stop, we are very thankful for that! The room and accommodation are affectionately arranged. Hair dryer, shampoo, heating blanket - just everything is provided. Monica and her partner are hosts with all their heart and who wants to enjoy sincere hospitality, should definitely stay at Five Oaks!

The house and grounds are lovely, in a wonderfully quiet location. Everything was very clean and comfortable. Had no problems getting to sleep, the beds were exceptional. I wanted to take it home with me. Breakfast was generous and relaxing. No being hassled to eat and be out the way.
