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.).

Sue was a really nice host. The accommodation was lovely and suited us as was very close to venue we were attending the next day. Sue takes pride in her place and it shows based on how she has the place prepared for guests, from the cleanliness to the food and snacks left for us. Will be staying again no problem

A beautiful room, with its own en-suite and kitchen. Very comfortable and spotlessly clean. We were made very welcome by the host, Sue, from the moment we arrived. There was a lovely selection of food left for breakfast. The room is nicely decorated, and the bed was so comfortable with ample pillows. The location is within walking distance to the town and local cafes and restaurants.

Sue was really helpful, friendly and knowledgeable about the locality. The Lantern was superbly located within a 10 minute walk to the sea front and good public transport connections. The accommodation is in a small annexe next to Sue's property, which is a bedroom,bathroom and kitchen. Sue supplied all the continental breakfast that you need and you help yourself to it in your kitchen. Donaghadee is a beautiful little seaside town with some cracking pubs and places to eat.

Sue was an excellent host,friendly and helpful . Property very clean and well stocked with breakfast food, tea/coffee, juice etc. Bed was very comfortable. Room cosy and warm. Ensuite was well stocked with towels. I highly recommend this B and B . Donaghadee Harbour and Bangor Harbour Close by. Belfast is only a few miles away if you want citylife or shopping. At Pier 36 restaurant the food and atmosphere was fantastic. I will definitely be booking The lantern again .
