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.).

United KingdomLovely bathroom but very weak shower - didn't bother us but not for those who expect a power shower
Very comfortable, parking on site. Phyl is a lovely friendly landlady. Distant view of Kinsale harbour from back windows and 5 min walk into centre of town - albeit an extremely steep hill. We didn't opt for breakfast.

United StatesWe missed on the website that Phil wasn't providing breakfast during our particular timeframe but she steered us to some very nice cafes that were close. We also missed that it was cash only.
Walking distance to downtown, shops and restaurants. Phil was very friendly and the room and bath were clean and a nice size. Parking was available onsite.

CanadaBooking said it included breakfast and could pay upon arrival. When we showed up, we were told by the host that she does not do breakfast January-March and it was cash only. It would have been nice to see this online beforehand.
Owner was very lovely and gave us many recommendations for around town. The place was very clean and comfortable.

IrelandThe heater could not be turned down/off and at a point I felt I would be half cooked by morning. Had to open a window to stay cool. Didn't get sleep due to this. The walls are a little thin and could hear anyone going downstairs or talking on the stairs. There were kids in the other room and could hear them being loud at 10:30pm. It's a shame to go to a bed and breakfast where breakfast is not included in the cost for stay.
The host Phil was very friendly and she greeted us nicely. The room was very tidy and big enough for a night. Good hot water shower and toiletries available. TV worked fine and the bed was comfortable. Hot water kettle, tea bags and coffee available with milk.

United KingdomOur room was a bit smaller than we like/need! Travelling by motorbike means we have lots of gear! This wouldn't put us off staying again though.
Extra comfy bed. We loved that we were only a 5 minute walk from town. Phil was a friendly host and keen to make sure we had everything we needed. Breakfast was great and plentiful.
