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.).

IrelandThe hotel is a little dated. Our superior Seaview room wasn't superior by any means, I paid extra for a lovely view, which delivered. The bathroom sink was old stained and cracked, and the bath was dirty and old. For the upgrade price, I expected a little luxury. Duvet for too heavy
The staff are lovely, location also really nice beside the sea, bar food excellent. Breakfast lots of options.

AustraliaOn first arriving we found the room a little hot, but have noted this in Irish hotels. We are used to the heat, but this is mitigated by air conditioning back home. Something that maybe the Irish don't need as much as heating. We just opened the window and door and the breeze quickly blew out the heat. Problem solved.
Our room was lovely. We were very happy with the facilities. My meal in the restaurant was superb. I complimented the waitress on their service and the meal and she replied in jest that she was sure that there was some kind of drug in the meal because you just wanted more!! So true. Great Kopperberg cider to compliment the meal. The view from the room was superb. It overlooked the duck pond and early in the morning we saw two lovely swans on the pond.

United KingdomMenu for dinner was okay, but not a huge choice...some options had already sold out but what we did have was good. Room overlooked air con unit, but was quiet
Somewhere to eat and sleep having traveled 260 miles on a trike. Room was large had a double bed and 2 singles...tea/coffee, TV all that you would expect from a 4 star hotel..free parking and a leisure complex (which we didn't get to use, as too tired. Restaurant was good and separate breakfast room, The Pottery.

United KingdomA bit dated in places. Our room was on the ground floor and could do with a refresh as was quite dark decor. Not a massive selection on the bar menu for dinner. 1st morning breakfast service wasn’t great, we didn’t get any tea/coffee despite asking again waitress again. Missed having a mini fridge with complimentary water as many hotels have these. Bar in the outdoor garden didn’t seem to be open during our stay.
Comfortable room with TV. Bathroom small but had everything you need and shower was great! Breakfast was lovely with good choice. Bar food also nice. Complementary Access to wifi. Nice outdoor seating/bar area with paths leading down to the shore and a lovely pond area. Complementary Access to pool and gym.

United KingdomThe disabled parking was extremely limited and the desk clerk couldn't tell us exactly where it was. There were only 2 spaces we could see and unfortunately both were taken.
The room was satisfactory though tight for a wheelchair. Comfortable bed and good wet room. The lounge in the hotel foyer and breakfast room were very nice. The food was good.
