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.).

United StatesThe room was clean and comfortable. The host was very accommodating and served an excellent breakfast each morning. She also was very willing to provide information about the surrounding area and where to go and what to see. The location was lovely and very quiet. She allowed the use of the sitting room and was very comfortable. It was nice to have another place to sit and read or just enjoy the view.

This is a magical part of Ireland, the B&B is right on the lake after a 2K drive from the Main Road. Great place to walk, fish or just relax. Mary was a wonderful host with suggestions on where to go and where to eat. I wish I had stayed longer than 3 nights

AustriaThe house is not reachable without a car. If you have a rental car it's no problem with the parking. But without you cannot reach it. The wall to the other rooms were quite thin, so you could hear steps from other residents
The host was very nice and the breakfast was also really good. The area around the B&B was very quiet and really beautiful. On one side of the house is a lake, on the other side grazes with sheep's.

ItalyThe house is about 30 minutes by car to Galway and there is also bus stop on the main street nearby connecting to Galway. I appreciated very much the cleaness of Mary's house as well as the breakfast served. She is very nice and kind. We had very pleasant staying at her house.

IrelandTea, coffee & snacks (cookies, biscuits, etc) are laid out in the dining room, so plan your trips for a cuppa to boil the kettle there as there are no facilities in the room. We didn't mind it too much. On the plus, kettle always full, loads of mugs, generous selection of snacks. Slow fill toilet was quite loud over several minutes, so were careful when we flushed in consideration of other guests.
Mary is a dote, she's very welcoming, warm and open to helping in every way. She set the tone for a very relaxing stay. The room was clean and comfortable, with all the towels and linens we needed. The calming view was also very welcome. The cooked breakfast was tasty, and although no gluten-free options were available she adjusted it to include only the gluten-free products and had no problem with my wife bringing her own food, having suggested it herself. Location was very peaceful and quiet, a short drive from the village.

GermanyThe owner / host is a very nice lady. She showed us everything, Gave us recommendations for restaurants in Oughterad and regarding activities in the region. The house is located directly at the lake, with a lake view from the rooms or the front terrace. You can use the living room if you like. The breakfast is really good. You need a car to get from the Waterfront House to the village. Walking along the Main Street is no fun. It is very quiet there and great to disconnect from every days work.
