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.).

IrelandRooms were very warm in Summer. But they provide fans that you can plug in if needed. Took a while for servers to bring menus and take our orders after being seated both in the bar and at breakfast. It was busy in the bar when we stayed so we thought it was down to that but then it was quiet for breakfast the next morning and it still seemed the same. But this was minor and overall our experience was good.
Apartment was huge and had everything you needed. Very clean. Staff were lovely and check in was easy. Breakfast and the bar were good, great quality food and drink

CanadaWe never had a view. We had a kitchen, living room and bedroom window. Each window looked at a brick wall. The bedroom also backed onto railroad tracks with trains going by often. Had we known this ahead of time we would never have booked a room. Also the rug was dirty.
Great location

United StatesThe only thing I didn’t like was there was an annoying sound coming from outside my window, probably the air vent system or something like that.
The breakfast was delicious and the location was perfect with a gorgeous view of the sea. The rooms were very nice and clean with comfy beds.

The restaurant at the hotel had amazing food and drinks. The hotel was beachfront and able to walk to different bars and sightseeing areas.

IrelandThe weather. Oddly, the soap dispensers in the shower and at the bathroom sink required both hands to squeeze out any soap which sort of defeats the purpose (you're supposed to be able to squeeze it with one hand and catch the soap coming out of the bottom with the free hand.) My friend in another room had the same problem so I imagine a lot of guests do.
Very friendly service, big room with sea view, very clean

United KingdomUnfortunately we didn’t get to experience the upper lounge/bar as it closed early which hadn’t been explained to us. We were really looking forward to sitting here to have a drink and meal overlooking the sea-instead we had to sit in the dark back bar on high stools which was very disappointing and not the experience we were wanting.
Staff were all very friendly and attentive. The room although small was clean and well presented. The upstairs bar/lounge areas looked very nicely decorated.

United KingdomUnknowingly as we arrived in the dark , Our Apartment accommodation was Right next to the railway track and the first train set off about 6am, so an unexpected early alarm clock! Also don’t know if we were under the bar area where glass bottles were being disposed of or if glass was just being thrown at the back … massive glass noise at 3 am was not appreciated ! Breakfast and staff was lovely but the dining area was pretty dark we had to read the menus in outside daylight - please make breakfast time bright and airy Martellos !
The location. Overlooking the ocean. Good meet up place for my local family. Previously been there last year for a great evening meal celebration with a good atmosphere with family. The booked apartment accommodation was huge . We Booked for 2 adults but didn’t realise there were 2 extra pull down beds in the lounge. Perhaps make that clear on room booking. We arrived much later than expected at 0100 after transport problems and they were quick to respond to my concerns via email . Great night receptionist guy helped us with taking luggage in from car on street up to our room . Lovely breakfast staff .
