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 KingdomWe didn’t like having to be confined to our room for food and not having anywhere to sit and chat. Especially as we had met up with friends who stayed there too. There is an offer for a cooked breakfast at an extra cost but you would have to have it in your bedroom- we didn’t fancy that!
We were disappointed there was no guest area to sit or eat so we had to eat breakfast in our room. The “continental breakfast” provided was unimaginative- it was ok but could have been much better.

The continental breakfast was provided with refrigerated food and drink aplenty, including lox, and an in-room table and coffee/ tea supply. We could dine in peace and when we chose to. We enjoyed this option.

United KingdomSpacious, clean, comfortable and with everything you need and many homely touches! The owner has thought of everything. Cong village is about a 35 minute walk that can take you via the beautiful Cong woods, across the river that has the monks fishing house (and abbey nearby) and with a view to Ashford castle. We found five great bars in the small and picturesque village, live music in one, so had a very enjoyable Saturday night. Blakehill house was absolutely perfect for our short break to enjoy beautiful Cong.

IrelandThere wasn't anything to not like, hence the great review
After the best nights sleep in the most comfortable bed, we had a delicious and bountiful Irish breakfast. The location is perfect, so tranquil and peaceful, and the rooms so elegant. Fantastic value for money and the loviest of welcoming hosts. Couldn't recommend it more if travelling in the area. I would advise to book early as these rooms are snatched up and you won't get a nicer place than Blakeview House.

South AfricaGoogle maps takes you to a different house. Apparrently the host sent us the EIRE code, but due to signal problems I only got it that evening. We are also not fans of Halloween and the house was made up for that, but that is my own personal preference and I cannot reallt fault the host for it.
The room was spacious. The breakfast view at the window was nice. Breakfast is served in your room and the condiments for coffee etc was more than enough. The host is not stingy at all, and that in itsself is very refreshing. The host is friendly and even though she was not there when we checked in, she knocked on our door later in the evening to introduce herself. She is really friendly and we had a great stay even though it was short.

IrelandThere was nothing I did not like. Lovely hosts. The house is stunning. My room was so elegant and comfortable, I was only on a quick visit, but I have booked a return in two weeks.
Breakfast was delicious and I sat at the window in my room to have it. Such an idyllic setting and practically 5 mins drive or 15 minutes to stroll in to the village.
