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.).

Location of this place is idyllic, right on the coast road, just outside Larne centre itself. Staff were always on hand to serve us, nice relaxing atmosphere and food was superb as well.

United KingdomI loved this place, I really love hotels like this, the more old fashioned but in a good way sort of feel! The bar restaurant was really cosy and was busy, the food was proper pub grub and we loved it, the outside area overlooking the bay from just across the road, when no cars were passing it was so peaceful! The staff were all so lovely and couldn’t do enough for you especially the lady who served breakfast and the bonus was the owner was working behind the bar! Our room was a deluxe sea view double and I’d def recommend this as it made our stay! The view was lovely. The gardens are well kept, in fact the whole hotel is well kept, there’s nothing to dislike at all!

United KingdomFriendly, welcoming and professional team who made my visit to Ballygally memorable. Superb breakfast with wide selection of excellent produce and not a drop of grease on the fry. Despite his world renowned fame in boxing, David the owner has no trophies on display which reflects his lovely modesty.I would highly recommend Halfway House to other travellers for a peaceful stay in a spotlessly clean hotel with beautiful sea views.

United KingdomSo welcoming and friendly, very helpful. We needed an earlier check in as we were going to dalfest and wouldn't be back until late that evening which I was able to get by messaging the property and got a reply very quickly. Sent me through taxi numbers also to get organised for my weekend. Lovely breakfast and just nice area and atmosphere. Would definitely stay again and recommend.

United KingdomThe breakfast was good but would have benefitted from being a little more varied. One of the double rooms was adequate but perhaps a little on the small size.
The staff were very friendly and welcoming. Nothing was too much trouble. The evening meals were good and the staff helpful and attentive. It was nice having the seashore just across the road. A pretty spot.
