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.).

SpainThis was a lovely place to stay with friendly, helpful staff. My room was small and a bit tired looking, but all of the facilities worked. I arrived by motorcycle on a very wet day but managed to dry all of my gear as the room was lovely and warm. The kitchen facilities were in good order with plenty of space, I used them to cook my evening meal before a good night's slerp.

GermanyDoing your laundry is 7,50€. I thought it must come out dried, ironed and folded but you’ll see that the dryer is 7,50€ again. If that’s too expensive for you you can always buy water for 1€/min. What a rip of!! Also I have never seen so many signs for example you get an explanation on how to do dishes while saving water. Apparently to save the environment but the there’s no way to separate trash or recycle so kind of hard to believe. If your kids play on the grass you might get kicked out.
The price was good for what you get. We found the regular 4 bed room a little small but could upgrade to a family room (with own bathroom) without any problems.

IrelandThe room I was in was OK but a bit on the small side, just enough for four people. I couldn't sit on the lower bunk but had to lie down on the bed which is a bit annoying sometimes. The bunk beds seem for childrens heights. They should be changed to adult ones (height, not length I mean). There wasn't enough plug in sockets for charging, only two per room and one person was using both of them for hours to charge a power bank and phone. Since downstairs closes at a certain time, you need extra in the room.
Parking was good around the hotel. Location excellent and so near the famous Ashford castle grounds which you can walk around. Cong is a lovely location to stay in. Kitchen facilities were good at the hostel. Had a very comfortable sleep.

FranceThe bunk beds were full of old chewing gums stuc upwards. The roof window had no curtain and we could hear people speaking outside during the night though the window was closed as well as people staying in the other rooms. Among the 8 showers, only 4 were equipped with a cabin to undress and put your towel and your clothes. The last four were only showers with a curtain. I wish the tenant had accompanied us to show us the different places and had asked us if we needed to wash our clothes since it was impossible when we wanted to do so...
The kitchen and the dining room were well furnished and well equipped with electric devices.

IrelandThere should be facilities in the kitchen so that guests segregate compost, recyclables and other waste. Otherwise, it's impossible to figure out the system, and not send stuff to landfill. Guests are from several countries, so it would be nice to see the signs in French and German, as well as Irish, so that the place is more welcoming.
We enjoyed our stay at this family-friendly accommodation. The kitchen is bright and airy. The atmosphere is nice. Cong Village is within walking distance,, but there is no footpath. The lady on reception was very friendly and helpful.
