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.).

DenmarkThe only downside was we missed the opportunity of a guided tour as we were asked the morning we had to leave and catch a train to Dublin so remember to request/inquire about it asap! You can also hear your neighbours, especially if they snore like a bear and have an adjoining room.
Very cool location, beautifully decorated in historically restored theme. Room was spacious, the bed was very comfortable and a bottle of wine was provided on arrival (with glasses). There was a small fridge in the room to keep bits and pieces. There was a lovely little table to sit and enjoy the tea that was provided over views of the castle gardens. Divine breakfast with plenty of options, freshly baked cakes, breads, yoghurts, fruit, cereals and cheeses, jams and spreads (extra cheeses were also provided). Tea and coffee were also provided and were delicious. There is also an antique piano in the foyer for you to play, we asked for permission first but they were more than happy to let us play. Very easy to communicate with the host who responded within minutes about any requests or queries we had.

CanadaNothing- I wish we had stayed there longer!
Our castle stay was so peaceful. Our toddler enjoyed the large lawns and the flowers. We took a short stroll by the river too. Our rooms were beautiful and the restoration of the castle and the rooms is immaculate. It was such a pleasure in every way. You feel immersed in history while still being able to enjoy modern luxury.

IrelandWould have liked a little more option for breakfast. It would be great if there were even eggs available. But what was there was fine. Just plan to have breakfast somewhere else if you're hungry.
Gerry was really friendly and showed us around. Rooms were beautiful and clean. The location was just breathtaking.

United StatesThis castle stay was AMAZING! I would definitely recommend anyone to stay at this location. It looked and felt like a castle but also with all modern amenities and very clean. The room was huge and it really felt like we were in a castle. We checked in late but were able to tour the castle part in the morning and that really added to the experience. This was our favorite place that we stayed in Ireland- well worth the extra cost to stay somewhere cool!
