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.).

CanadaVery nice staff, comfy beds and very clean. Complementary laundry was very appreciated since we were at the end of our trip and almost out of clean clothes. Breakfast was amazing. The staff helped us plan our days and all around it was a great experience. Also very close to latin quartier but in a quiet part of the city

United StatesA little challenging figuring out the temp for the shower. It cycled between cold and scalding hot until I selected "eco" then it was perfect :)
Very welcoming host. He provided great information for where to eat and what to do while we were there. We didn't eat breakfast but the choices looked amazing. All day coffee machine available too. Room was very comfortable and area seemed clean and safe. Parking area was tight but appreciated!

United StatesParking was logistically difficult, so just prepare to take care when moving your car in and out. Tiny shower, which was ok for me, but tight for my husband. But then this is pretty standard at most of the B&Bs we’ve been to here.
Loved the staff here!! Very clean environment. The breakfast was excellent and presentation was lovely. Beautiful little breakfast room, nicely appointed.

The Ardawn House provided us with lots of extras to make our stay more comfortable. The beds were comfy, they gave us homemade cookies, chocolates, coffee and tea. The staff was so kind and helpful. The breakfast was superb! The best we had in Ireland. We were closed to town, within walking distance of everything. We highly recommended a stay here.

As soon as you cross the path of this B&B, you know you are going to be well treated. The manager and his staff are so nice and welcoming. Great recommendations for places to go in Galway. The rooms are very nice with very comfortable bedrooms. The Breakfeast venue is just incredible. Within a walking distance of Galway city center. Even though on the high end of the price range, it is worth it.
