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 KingdomHi Hilltop Hideaway, I honestly have to say this is definitely heaven. My friend and I stayed here for the night, and it was an absolutely beautiful location with great fields and animals. The place was absolutely spotless. The hot tub took us away from day-to-day life just to enjoy time to relax, think, and have a glass of wine. I would highly recommend this to anyone that wants time away from day-to-day life. Thanks for having us! .

IrelandBathroom is a little small
The cutest little spot, bed was super comfortable, very clean, so quiet and relaxing, away from everything. Views were amazing over looking the mountains. Hot tub was unreal, so warm and again so comfortable. Plenty of privacy also it really is a hideaway. Colleen even provided a list of local takeaways that even deliver to the hideaway so that was brilliant, we were never stuck for anything, 10/10

IrelandAbsolute gem of a place! So peaceful. The hot tub was also amazing,just relaxing and taking in the views 😍😍. There is a list left of local restaurants etc and we went to Donnelly's which is just a 4 min drive, they only accept cash and there is no ATM in the shop next door and unable to give cash back unless it's a notheren bank card. There is also a chipper/Chinese and the food is lovely,also cash only. Colleen has thought of everything that you could need from games to a housecoat. I would deffo come back and would recommend a stay here. You will not be disappointed!

AustraliaThe hot tub - it wasn't really hot enough. I had been looking foward to it but man, it was just too cold. Also there wasn't a heck of a lot of storage space, but you make it work!
Beautiful views of the surrounding hills. Peaceful and secluded. Perfect for a romantic getaway or just to soak in the local area. If you are lucky you will hear the cows mooing at you! The hosts had gone the extra mile to welcome us with a bottle of wine and personal message which was very much appreciated.

IrelandVery hard to get a taxi. Local pub doesnt accept card and walk home is verrrrry long. All minor problems that can easily be sorted once you are aware.
Attention to detail was amazing. Very clean and well put together. They thought of everything from tea bags and milk to robes and flipflops. Pod gets lovely and warm with the fire which is great after the jaquzzi.

United KingdomMe and my partner have stayed in various accommodation sites across Ireland but Hilltop Hideaway has easily topped the lot and will be a hard one to beat! Can definitely see us returning in the near future. The location is really private, remote but easy to access. The car parking at the rear of the pod creates a clear view of the countryside surrounds. The pod is tastefully decorated and featured seasonal extras such as a welcome board and valentines bunting which was a really nice touch. The mattress and bed sheets were super comfy, so much so we struggled to get out of the bed the next morning! The facilities all worked as should and the kitchenette was well stocked with crockery, cutlery, plus some cereal, milk and waters which was appreciated. The local Chinese delivered to the remote pod so there was no need to leave this place. Lastly, the hot tub was warm for our arrival, and stayed warm throughout our stay, offering a great place to relax. As far as Hilltop Hideaway is considered, they know how to put the glamour in glamping!

United KingdomIf there was a little more shelter for the hot tub as the wind made it colder than it should have been. However, this definitely didn't dampen our night
Colleen went above and beyond with all the little details with the hideaway! She had a hairdryer, games, shampoo etc, robes which fit a plus size girl, cornflakes for the morning and even a spot of milk for them too! The hot tub was incredible and the lights in the house made it feel so cozy! We had two feline friends come to visit during our stay which we loved We decided to sleep with the curtains open and waling up to the view was incredible, I would definitely stay again and recommending it to all my friends

United KingdomWhen we got out of the hot tub for the first time we realised that we'd overlooked bringing something to drink (that wasn't alcoholic!) to the pod. There were tea and coffee making facilities which was great, but maybe a small bottle of drinking water would be great to keep in the fridge along with the milk. Being in the hot tub does make you thirsty!
The accommodation was perfect for an overnight getaway. The bed was comfy, the decor is stylish and simple with a homely, rustic feel, and the compact shower room and kitchenette had everything you might need for a short stay. Breakfast cereal was provided which was a nice, unexpected touch. The location is excellent as the pod is in very, private secluded spot with beautiful views, and the hot tub really makes the most of the surrounding scenery. Myself and my husband had the most relaxing time in this beautiful spot and the host Colleen really has thought of everything to make your stay as easy as possible. We ordered a takeaway from Julia's which is closeby, and they couldn't do enough for us, even offering to pick up any essentials in the local shop if we needed them. Having our own private hot tub and being blessed with amazing (yet cold) weather and clear skies was such a fantastic experience. We've been to very high end spa hotels, with gorgeous facilities but nothing could beat the two of us, watching the sunset, stargazing in the dead of night, and watching the sunrise surrounded by frozen fields and hills, all from the luxury of a hot tub. We felt like VIPs. I'll DEFINITELY be booking again. Thank you Colleen, for creating such a beautiful setup and a seamless stay ❤️

The place was magical, it exceeded our expectations. It was quiet, secluded and perfectly positioned for the best view. We were unlucky with bad weather but this didn't dampen our spirits and the place still worked really well in bad weather.
