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.).

AustraliaThe shower did not drain properly. You could not shower for longer than 1 minute before having to turn the water off. Not ideal. The bathroom door was so heavy and kept getting stuck on the slider.
Location was great, walking distance to douglas shopping and a walk into Cork (if you can handle a 3km walk). Bus stop right out front also.

IrelandRoom was a bit draughty from the sliding door leading to outside. The curtains did only an ok job at keeping most of the draught out once closed but the room was noticeably colder on the side of the bed closest to the sliding door.
Clean room and comfortable bed, modern decor. The shower was nice and hot and had good pressure. Check in and check out was contactless and simple. Parking available on site. Tea / coffee facilities and small fridge in the room.

AustraliaNothing. All fine.
We had a brief stay at Belvedere Guest house. The room has been modernised in recent years. It was clean, comfortable and suited our purpose. Being on the ground floor was a bonus no stairs to lug bags up and down. Also happy to have free car parking at the front of the property. The location is within walking distance of the Douglas Village shopping centre and we had a good Dinner at Barry's Bar and Restuarant. You will need to drive or use public transport to go to the centre of Cork. Also this property uses a contactless method of checking in.

SwitzerlandFirst time we have done a self-checkin. We would prefer to have someone there. It was a bit difficult to find as our GPS would not accept the full street code however, two calls with Rose, the host and we managed to find it. Could do with hooks in the bathroom for towels, we hung ours over the door. Lack of info or suggestions of things of interest.
It is in a good location just on the bus route (another guest showed us where to go). Property is next to a big shopping center. The room was very clean and the tea/coffee table was great.
