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 Restaurant experience. There were 6 people in our group. 4 were pleased with their evening meal, 2 weren't. The hotel made a concession by refunding the cost of 2 starters. I was disappointed with my meal but did not send it back as this was a celebratory reunion and I considered it would put a dampener on the occasion. I stayed in Ballygally on Valentine's night in 2023 and my meal was superb. Hopefully this was only a glitch. The breakfast was very good with a wide selection on offer. However not sure if I would stay here again.
Beautiful location. Comfortable rooms.

United KingdomWiFi is a bit hit and miss. Breakfast is advertised as starting at 7, when in fact it's 7.30, which was difficult for me as i only had 5 mins to eat it.
Great location, superb views from the front of the hotel and quick and easy to get to and from. Food was excellent and the helpfulness of the staff was second to none.

United KingdomIt was much to warm, although there was a storm outside and it was winter I understand the need for the fires and the heating but it was a lot! It was 2 weeks before Christmas and I had to sleep with the window wide open and it was still sweltering hot! But then again some like it hot..
The location, the history, the beautiful Christmas decorations ♡

CanadaThe only thing that I found a bit challenging was that my room was on the cool side, but it’s probably because my room was switched. I turned some heat on but with the warm covers it was a perfect temp for sleeping anyways.
Staff were wonderful. There were a couple of stains on the duvet cover in the room I booked (it happens from time to time!), but they remedied it immediately and gave me a different (upgraded) room and it was lovely. Very clean and very spacious and comfortable with a lovely view. It was great to see the historical aspects of the property and to sit and have a drink beside a real fire in a comfortable chair. I also ate at the restaurant and it was delicious. I would absolutely stay here again, because it’s clear staff take pride in their jobs and in providing a wonderful experience for guests.

United KingdomEverything. The check in was quick and the receptionist very helpful and friendly. Food in restaurant delicious (had Steak) and chips, best I've ever tasted. When we asked for toothpicks from waiter he got us some, and that's a bonus nowadays as very few eatiers have them. Could fault nothing. Rooms were big and very clean. Beds were comfortable, but the biggest asset was there was no noise from our nearbouring guest although there were occupancy on both sides, you could hear nothing, no mumbling from chat or anything. Overall our stay was excellent and I would highly recommend it to other travellers who are wanting a base to see Antrims famous Glens.
