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.).

IrelandAt breakfast on our first morning, they forgot to serve our full Irish breakfast. Lots of people had come in ate and left by the time we got ours. We had to remind staff we hadn’t gotten it and also we had to ask twice for fresh tea. The staff were lovely and friendly but seemed to forgot to serve us.
Really restful, interiors are lovely and in keeping with the history of the house We got to take the complimentary bikes out and get to see the grounds and Maynooth. (The bikes were a little clicky) but we were delighted they were available to use.

This place is magical- absolutely beautiful and tastefully decorated with gorgeous ground that you can walk for hours. The food, the room, the staff- everything was perfection! The best hotel we have ever stayed at in Ireland, and maybe the best of our entire travels. Highly recommend!

IrelandIt was very difficult to pick anything everything was so good! One minor suggestion would be to have a bowl of water or a small water fountain for dogs somewhere near the front door for after their walks / on arrival after a long car journey.
Gorgeous food, beautiful hotel, lovely walks in the grounds, dog friendly and overall just wonderful! Staff were all very helpful, nothing was too much trouble. We did a tour of the house with the Head Concierge and it was very interesting.

SwitzerlandThe hotel / the estate leaves nothing left to be desired for a great vacation: great facilities and offers (biking, golf etc.), very friendly and attentive staff and a superb breakfast (high quality food, friendly and professional waiters, offer of gluten- and dairy-free pastries)! Highly recommending it to everyone who is looking to stay around Dublin!
