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 StatesI cannot think of one thing that I did not like.
The hosts were warm, friendly and accommodating. Mary and Gerry are wonderful people. I was on a golf trip, and Mary made sure that my early morning needs were met. She did not have to do that, but I am eternally grateful for her kindness. If you are traveling to Cong, Nymphsfield House is the place to stay.

United KingdomNothing. For us it was an ideal B&B.
We stayed in some really nice B&B's whilst in Ireland and have found ourselves giving top marks to several but Nymphsfield House was our favourite for a number of reasons but the main one was our hostess, Mary, who couldn't have been more pleasant and helpful. We were not alone in our views and met other guests who expressed very similar opinions. Breakfast time at Nymphsfield House was a very sociable occasion for us with plenty of friendly chatter with other guests, some of whom were staying there for work reasons and others on holiday like ourselves. Some clearly stayed there on a regular basis. We had a comfortable room with two easy chairs so we could both sit and read but there was also a communal area upstairs where we could get tea, coffee and biscuits if we wanted them. The house is very close to Cong village and Ashford Castle, the former home of the Guinness family and now a hotel. In fact Nymphsfield House may be the nearest house to the Castle entrance. The castle is very dramatic and boasts its own 9 hole golf course that is open to non residents. The Cong river, containing salmon and trout, runs close to the castle and the village of Cong is very picturesque. In the future my wife and I plan on returning to Nymphsfield House for a longer stay and look forward to doing so.
