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.).

IrelandSome of it was a little dated but for the price, location and space how could you complain. Great to use as a base and somewhere to rest in the evening for exploring during the day.
Loads of space, excellent value for money, great location.

United KingdomUnfortunately for our second stay at this accommodation we were told we would not be able to check into accommodation until 5pm. When arriving at 5pm as specified we were told accommodation was still not ready and asked to return in an hour. This would have not been so much of an issue had we not arrived after 4 hours on a motorbike.

Irelandthe floors needed a mop and were pretty dirty, feet were black after walking on it, there wasnt a mop on site to do it myself either or an iron which i needed after unpacking... our electricity went off in the morning and it took a few hours to get it back on, which was frustrating as we wanted to cook breakfast and have coffee, they were doing fire inspections in the apartments aswell which i think we should have been informed of beforehand.... there was also no live tv and the remote wouldnt work on netflix for some reason only luckily i had a prime account or we would have had nothing to watch also the two beds that had been joined to make a king kept separating and i nearly feel in between during the night, again luckily there was a double matt in the other room so we had to switch that...no storage in such a large bathroom was strange, no hairdryer...place was pretty worn from students, dirty walls, gaps in floors where boards have moved, rotting wood needs to be replaced on the floor in the smaller room also gutter on fhe balcony is loose and water is flowing everywhere when it rains
The general space and the view were great and the cats on site were cute and made the place feel more homely, receptionist was friendly and helpful, kitchen/bathroom and bedroom were a decent size and bedroom was nice and bright.

IrelandAll the beds where single and 3 where in the same room. This resulted in one parent haven to sleep in with the children in one room the the other on there own in another room. As a couple with children we would have preferred a double bed. Some more pots with lids would be useful too.
The location was easy to find by car. Athlone is a beautiful and interesting place. Free wifi.
