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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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.).

IrelandThis cottage is a little gem! Set back a little from the seafront, a minute walk from the ferry. The décor is adorable, seaside tones of blue and white. The cottage was very well appointed, with everything you might need for your stay. Ann & Brendan thoughtfully provided a welcome basket, and it's such a lovely touch. The cottage has a cosy, warm feeling, and my husband and I really enjoyed our stay here. I would absolutely recommend Ropewalk Cottage to any couple visiting Portaferry.

United KingdomThat we didn't book for longer!!!!!!!
This place is just so beautiful. Ann is just so lovely, came down and talked to us and gave us recommendations on some nice pubs and places to eat. The place itself was just beautiful. The garden is just amazing, the weather was on our side and we sat outside and had a drink and it was just so peaceful. Inside is just so cute and very nicely done, with all the wee extras like a welcome basket with soda farls and crisps and orange juice in the fridge. It was my husbands birthday so Ann left a bottle of wine and some beer in the fridge too which was just so nice. The aquarium is literally across the road and I would definitely recommend it was very good. The location is so good too!!!

The Ropewalk Cottage was an amazing little gem of a find located in the beautiful coastal town of Portaferry. The hosts Brendan and Ann were so welcoming and perfect hosts that put us at ease from the moment we arrived. The complementary snacks and homemade butter was a nice touch that helped elevate this sweet, beautiful getaway cottage into one of our favourite stays. It is perfect for couples that want to explore the small coastal town of Portaferry and experience a quiet and quaint atmosphere. I will definitely be back

Lovely cosy cottage with all you could want and more. The hosts, Ann and Brendan, were very friendly and couldn't do enough for us. The welcome basket was a nice touch and very generous. A beautiful garden area with comfy bench and chairs surrounded by flowers and plants. The owners obviously take great pride in their newly built cottage and garden.
