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.).

United StatesWe didn't realize that we would be quite so far from town, our mistake. For some reason we thought we would have an ocean view, which we did not.
The owners, Ruth and Stewart, were very nice and welcoming. The breakfast was made to order and just lovely. Our room although not large was completely adequate and comfortable. Stewart was helpful with our bags which we appreciated.

United StatesOur room had a pitched ceiling that was a bit challenging for a tall couple. But the view from our window/skylight was awesome.
Great location to explore Connemara. Only a short, beautiful walk to Clifden Castle. Our room was well appointed, clean and comfortable. Stuart’s music memorabilia was so cool. Ruth’s breakfasts were wonderful and a good start to a day of hiking or beach walking. Ruth’s recommendations for hikes, beaches, dining were all spot on.

United KingdomLeaving!!! 🙈
Location is perfect. A short walk into Clifden and right next to Clifden Castle on the Sky Road. Ruth is the perfect host, very welcoming, friendly and very helpful with recommending places to eat and drink and places of interest to visit. The B & B is full of music memorabilia from Ruth's husband Stuart's work, and to top it all off there is Treacle, their lovable black lab. We took Treacle for a lovely walk around the castle which was the highlight! The B & B is opposite a farm so if you like the sounds of cows, sheep and horses neighing then you're in for a real treat.

IrelandWe stayed overnight in this beautiful place, the hosts were kind and attentive, very comfortable and clean rooms. The location of the B&B was very handy for our trip plan around Connemara. I really enjoyed the breakfast. The overall experience was excellent. If I have the opportunity to come back to Connemara, I will definitely book a room at Hillside Lodge B&B again 😊

NetherlandsEven though we had been warned the room was not good for tall people, the walls were so slanting, anyone would have problems avoiding to hurt one’s head. Also in the bathroom, which was quite small, this was a bit of a problem.
