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 KingdomWe had problems with the WiFi and couldn't watch anything on iPlayer. It may be because of the room being at the top of the house. I didn't like the spiral staircase up to our room
Breakfast was good and I would recommend the scrambled eggs. Ian is very helpful and approachable. If you have any problems let him know and he will sort it asap. The shower room in our room was really lovely and the toiletries are lovely too. Would definitely stay here again.

United KingdomThere was nothing we disliked.
We loved the Glencree! Everything about it was great. Access to a local spa was great and breakfast was delicious. Lots of bonus touches like lovely toiletries, the option to preorder breakfast and a bar overlooking the river. Brilliant all round. Would definitely book again if in the area.

United KingdomThe bed and pillows felt hard- could do with something more fluffy, and I wish they had a summer duvet as I was quite warm in the room. We were on the top floor, which had to be accessed by a very tight spiral staircase, not suitable for all.
Great shower, breakfast and accessibility to The Lakes! Room was clean and modern. Ian was a lovely host.

Breakfast was exceptional and so lovely that we were asked what time we’d like it & it was there on the dot! The premises were fantastic, a lovely wow factor walking in! It was so pleasantly quiet, tranquil hearing the water stream outside & great space to relax in. The hot tub was perfectly setup. The host was so friendly & chatty, it made breakfast just that much more enjoyable!

I can honestly say we loved everything about this property. It was spotlessly clean and we loved the spiral stair to our room. Ordering breakfast which I may add was superb on the tablet was so easy and convenient. The location is superb and we parked our car up and walked everywhere. Finally Ian was a lovely host and very helpful with recommendations on where to go and what to see. Definitely 5 star from start to finish
