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.).

IrelandNothing. Everything was excellent.
We loved everything about this property. Our hosts Ilse & Dennis really made us feel at home with drinks and food nibbles on arrival served out in their beautiful courtyard. We were travelling with our dog Aria who was also treated as if she was in her own home. The house is really spectacular and decorated to a 5 star hotel standard. Excellent facilities in bedroom including a fruit basket and water and there was tea and coffee making facilities in a very comfortable common area with a log burning stove. We had dinner that evening which was delicious and was prepared by Ilse who is a professional chef. Breakfast was deliciously prepared by Dennis with a large selection of products including lovely eggs and bacon. The food here is 5 star standard. We would strongly recommend this place to stay for one or more nights and we will definitely be back.

FranceWe enjoyed our stay and have no criticisms to add.
We feel fortunate to have found this accommodation as a break during a trip to the Basque Country. The warm welcome we received from our hosts and overall hospitality was much appreciated. The accommodation is very pleasant and decorated to a high standard and in good taste. We had opted to take the dinner option which was very good. Overall we could not have expected more.

SpainThe shower interior was black and quite dark, it needed an additional light in that area.
It was very quirky, the owners had spent time and thought renovating their project to provide a beautiful hideaway where you could want for very little whether it be an overnight stay or a longer trip. The jacuzzi was amazing even in outdoor temperatures of -1 to +1 C.

FranceThe hosts are extremely keen to be very welcoming and accompany guests as they eat at the common dining table. We would have preferred them to be a bit more hands off as we just really wanted some peace and quiet. Ilse in particular can be forthright in her opinions.
Fabulous food and wines! Ilse is an amazing chef. Dennis is friendly and both hosts go out of their way to make sure guests are comfortable, with everything that they need. Beautifully restored historic property. Very thoughtfully and comfortably fitted out. Coffee machine and tea-making facilities available for the rooms. Cosy, private living room. Spa area with hot tub and sauna in the barn, with a view over the countryside. Extremely welcoming hosts.

United KingdomWe loved everything and hope we can go back one day in the summer to explore the area.
It was lovely that we could check-in at 3 pm on a wet afternoon and be warmly greeted by our Dutch host. As we were the only guests that night we were upgraded to a beautiful bedroom in the ground floor right next to a sitting room with log burner. It was so comfortable and tastefully furnished and we enjoyed an aperitif there before going through to the dining room for a candlelit dinner prepared by Ilse. A fantastic experience by a couple who know how to look after their guests.

This place is a gem. The room was pretty, the bed was so comfortable and the shower was powerful with plenty of hot water. What set Mas De Gourmands apart were the relaxed and attentive owners Ilsa and Denis. Our dog was made to feel welcome too. They have an honesty bar with a pool table and a large barn with a cosy wood burner and seating for a pre dinner drink. Ilsa was a top restaurant chef and worked with Gordon Ramsey so the food was wonderful. It’s was a great two night relax on our drive down to Spain.

United KingdomNothing. Its just lovely.
Ilse and Dennis are really great hosts. Their home / Mas is more an excellent mini-hotel than a chambre d'hotes. The facilities decoration, welcome and style are impeccable. Dennis gave us drinks and snacks from his bar when we arrived, and Ilse's dinner was generous, delicious and personally prepared to our tastes on both visits, and served with Ilse's excellent choice of wines. We had time in hand on our departure day, so we stayed longer, had a lovely walk in the countryside, and enjoyed a specially-prepared lunch under the sunny awning. After years of struggling with hotels in cities, this has turned out to be our very best place to break the long journey through France: it recaptured a whole day of our holiday, which otherwise had been lost to travelling. Only one thing to note - they have two small & friendly well-behaved dogs - which was fun- and two larger ones too, so let them know if you're not a doggy person! This is the first time I've ever given a hotel five stars on every rating - and it's a pleasure to do so :) Oh - i forgot to mention the super breakfast: don't miss it!

GeorgiaThe property is extremely well equipped, facilities are great, I was part of group of friends and turned out we had the whole property for ourselves, which was very positive outcome. The hosts are very friendly the highlight of the evening was the dinner Ilsa prepared for us, when we booked we did not have any expectation, but what we got was amazing, we had michelin dinner day before and Ilsa’s dinner hands down was on the same level even better. We spent one night, but would love to stay for a longer time to take in all the benefits of the property. I hope to come back one day again. Best recommendations.

The outside of the property is lovely and very relaxing. There is a wood fired hot tub and a games room with an honesty bar. The bedrooms were lovely and so comfortable. There is a communal lounge, which is also relaxing with coffee & tea facilities. Dennis & Isle made us feel very welcome. We had drinks and snacks on arrival and in the games room before dinner. We had a wonderful dinner that was cooked by Isle. Even though we left early the next day, Dennis went and got us pastries for breakfast and made us a pack lunch to take with us. I would say that it’s the best overnight stay that we have ever had 😊
