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 KingdomThe bed was quite hard, but we slept well nonetheless. I thought the room would have a kettle but we must have misread this or got mixed up with the other locations we travelled to. Good thing we brought our own travel kettle and tea bags for making a cuppa.
Very warm welcome with coffee and cake, also very accommodating to our early afternoon arrival which enabled us to drop off bags and enjoy the island for the afternoon. Very informed about options to explore on the island and recommendations for directions. Breakfast choices were great (we went for pancakes one morning and the next one salmon with scrambled eggs). Quiet location. Good shower. View over Achill Sound was great! Great value for money!

ItalyThe owners were both really nice to us, they also showed us the routes to follow to reach the main landmarks in Achill. We had two rented bikes with us and we were able to put them in their shed during the night. The bed was very comfortable and the room and bathroom were very clean. At breakfast they offer the classic Irish, gluten free options too.

ItalySuper hosts, they were extremely kind to us offering to cook breakfast very early so we could hop on our bikes on our way back to Westport. The house is directly on the Greenway on the amazingly beautiful Achill Island. Room was comfortable and with a nice view. Highly recommended

United StatesI guess I missed the description which said they only accept cash instead of deducting from the credit card I used. I brought a small amount of euros for spending money and didn’t plan on this. Now I have to pay another fee to get more euros. Also, he called me a “Yank.” Hmmmm. “All you Yanks..” he said. It is a derogatory term and it didn’t feel welcoming. Other than that, I was comfortable and breakfast was delicious.
Beautiful, comfy, cozy home.
