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.).

Would be good if the showers could be improved as we were not able to shower simultaneously despite having 2 bathrooms.
Location was perfect, so convenient and we loved the outdoor patio! Frank greeted us and showed us around the property and we had also been given a little welcome box with a few snacks and wine which we thought was very sweet. There were plenty of amenities provided and all the beds were very comfy. Would definitely consider this property again if we return to Sligo with a big group.

Lack of labels on the bins which would have helped with recycling!!!
Eveeything!! Communication with host was superb. The property was bright, clean, toasty warm and well equipped. The 'welcome' basket was exceptionally generous and our 2 year old granddaughter was overjoyed to see birthday balloons - a personalised touch for us!! Amazing!!! The beds were very comfortable with cosy duvets and soft towels. Ample staple provisions and toiletries provided.

Group of friends staying for a walking weekend in Sligo. Great location, very near to Cathedral and 2 min walk into shops etc. Owner Frank made us so very welcome even to the extent of saying no rush to be off on morning of departure which allowed us to return and change out of walking gear and quick cuppa before driving back home. Frank also provided a welcome hamper and what a beautiful, carefully thoughtful treat it was. From water, milk and wines to biscuits, crisps. 3 super comfortable bedrooms and two bathrooms. Free wifi. Towels provided Great outdoor terrace with table and chairs. Thankyou for a super comfortable stay.

This house is in a perfect location, 5 minute walk to loads of shops bars and restaurants. Really clean and lovely decoration. 3 rooms with 9 beds, very clean linen and really cosy. The secret garden is cool with loads of space and has a heater for colder months. Frank and Serena left us some treats as well which was so appreciated and generous. No complaints whatsoever!!

There was no carparking at the house but there was nearby which was just as convenient.
The house was perfect for a family getaway with a toddler. Great location to Sligo town and to get on the main road to the beaches.

Modern, clean and central location. Couldn’t recommend this property highly enough. The property is literally a 5 minute walk into town which has a variety of shops, bars, restaurants and entertainment. The hosts (particularly Serena) were very welcoming and friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The house is absolutely beautiful and spotlessly clean. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely book again when going to Sligo.
