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.).

IrelandIt was quite a rural location so a car or transport is needed, apart from that there is nothing I could fault! Absolutely fantastic property.
This was a beautiful property, absolutely pristine with everything a family could need. We were delighted with the property and will be recommending to family who come to stay in the future. Better than any hotel we have stayed in.

CanadaNo complaints whatsoever.
The hostess Mags was brilliant & the apartment suited all our needs perfectly. We are from a farm community back in Canada so we were in our element here. And there were puppies!!! 😁 They are in the process of completing a games room/bar area for future guests to enjoy too. We highly recommend this spot!

United KingdomGreat Hosts... perfect location for the purpose of our trip. Accommodation has everything you could ask for... with the beauty of a very peaceful relaxing location. Close enough to nearest town but far enough out for peace and tranquility. We drove down from Co Down to attend Tullahmore Show and added in a trip to Wicklow to visit Beyond the Trees. Thanks Mags and Jonathan for your hospitality. We will definitely be back x

Although we couldn't walk into town or activities, this location was a great centralized spot for us to do all kinds of day trips! Loved the host and her willingness to provide us with suggestions on places to go, things to do, exceptional eateries. Thoroughly enjoyed the Irish breakfast prepared for us in our kitchen and the fantastic individualized homemade dinners in the on-site cafe!

Thoroughly enjoyed our peaceful stay in Mags and Johnathan accomodation! We enjoyed the use of the BBQ with organic beef steak and burgers from the farm. We appreciated the recommendations on things to do and places to eat. The house itself was warm and cosy with loads of complementary extras including a picnic bag packed with plates, cups and cutlery for guest use. The use of a highchair we were grateful for also. Beds were comfy and all rooms were spotless! We couldnt have asked for more. Would recommend a stay in Gormanstown House! 👍🏻
