How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

The area wasn't nice. 1 settee in the living area was stained and broken, the fridge and oven were dirty.
There was plenty of room. The beds were comfortable. Communication good. Everything you would need. Transport links into city were good. Supermarket and garage nearby. Lots of information available.

The single bed was not so comfortable and was very creaky. The neighbourhood is not great, although it was handy to have a large Tesco within walking distance.
We found the house to be immaculately clean with a fresh fragrance. Matt was easy to communicate with using booking.com message service, and we appreciated the written instructions left in the welcome folder. The kitchen was well equipped and we liked having the washing machine and drying racks. The heating worked well. The double bed in the main bedroom was very comfortable.

We had no problems but be aware that it's a loyalist area and there are Union Jacks everywhere. I never felt afraid but I was definitely a bit uncomfortable walking around. It's also on the corner of a busy road so bring ear plugs if you're a light sleeper.
It's a nice 3 story townhouse a 5 minute drive from Belfast city centre. The rooms are big and the beds are comfortable. Matt is really responsive and check in was very smooth. I thought it was good value too.

The only thing lacking was comfortable seating for 6. Travelled with my 3 grown up kids and 2 partners. The lounge only has 2 settees for 2 people. Not a massive issue but meant I had to hear moaning on an evening from 2 people sitting on the floor or on dining chairs!
The property was clean and well appointed throughout. Easy to access and close to public transport. The owner came back to me really quickly when I asked a question, let us check in early and stayed in communication with me through our stay.

Fairly quiet area in the outskirts of Belfast (bus or taxi into the city only about 10 minute journey) but the walls are very thin between the houses and there was a lot of noise from neighbours. No fault of Matt or the property itself but something to be aware of if travelling with children.
The property was so clean and comfortable. Matt the host was in touch to ensure we had everything we needed and got back to us incredibly quickly when we had a query. It’s clear the house is well looked after - everything was absolutely pristine in the house with quality bedding, towels and furniture. lots of leaflets for food and sightseeing etc available in the house. heating and hot water easy to work. some quirky shops and cafes in the nearby area. very accessible bus routes with buses running every 5-10 mins in both directions.

Great spot for getting into the city, cosy and comfortable, suited my friend group perfectly and would be just as good for a family.
