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 StatesIt’s an older b&b building so you can hear others, but not much. Carpet was light colored and stained. Highly recommend removing it for a wood or vinyl flooring. Way too hard to keep it clean looking.
Located outside of the busy Latin Quarter and nightlife, but within easy walking distance. We had a family room, double and two twins, which was tight but still comfortable for two nights. If we were staying longer or in the room often it would not have worked. Good hot water. Lots of toiletries provided. Comfortable beds and bedding. Staff were exceptionally nice and helpful. Breakfast included and great.

IndiaOne of the best B&Bs that we have stayed in. I give this rating because of the most amazing staff and service. Typically the Western world has self-service or very minimal/formal service. This B&B is the first one that I felt I was in the East - because the levels of service were impeccable. They are happy to go beyond which is such a pleasure and in such a pleasant manner. Mark is the housekeeper and he is amazing. He & his team do an incredible job. And the breakfast is the best - they do a brilliant job of it. Many B&B would offer a hot breakfast - but it is always standard. This one has a curated menu and also it is delicious with top notch ingredients. We loved our stay. It indeed felt like a home away from home. Thank you very much Mark & team. We hope to be back. And we would recommend it highly to our family & friends back in India

United Kingdomthe only thing I would have liked, although we didn't really have enough time to use it, was access to the very pretty back garden. I suspect, if I had asked, there would have been access.
the room we had was very comfortable and nicely furnished. The bed and the very nice bedding was one of the best I have experienced during all of my world wide travel...and I have stayed in some beautiful hotels! Small touches such as nice toiletries and a welcoming macaron with a couple of chocolates and bottled water make a difference when you have been travelling for hours. The small sitting room gave access to tea and coffee making facilities 24hrs. The staff were very approachable and happy to advise on places to visit and where to get the best Galway experiences...a good team! Breakfast was exceptional, with every variation you could possibly with for in Ireland. Everything was perfectly cooked and beautifully presented, often with a flourish,as the team got much pleasure from knowing they were delivering great food.

United StatesThey need new locks on the doors. The charming old style church keys were a bit hard to make work. Be aware it also backs up to a dog racing venue. While we were there they only had one night of races (which we watched from our room) and they were over by 10pm.
We loved our stay at Ardawn House especially because our host Dennis who was so warm and welcoming. He could not have been nicer! The breakfast was good with many options to choose from. We also liked most that it was an easy walk into town but far enough away that you didn't have a lot of noise from bars etc.
