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 StatesKitchen lacked necessary tools. ( No mixing bowls) No instruction booklet! Like how to use the washer, dryer, locks on the door, the shower, whether or no to empty the trash. Upon arrival, everything looked good, be we soon noticed the home could use some care. There are torn leather chairs to use, there are holes in some of the walls and the floor boards are loose when entering our entering some areas. That said, the decor was nice and the house spacious. When I contacted the host, she was kind enough to help us find our way to Hydrangea house.
Secluded, clean, roomy. Could watch tv using Amazon Prime!

United KingdomNot much not too like. Only thing I could suggest put a name board up at the end of the drive to make it easier to find.
Great location. Spacious clean and well equipped. Fiona very helpful with directions from nearby Ballinspittle. Not far from the famous Grotto. Nice pub in village and some well stocked shops and a garage

IrelandI would recommend finding a way to prevent the floor from getting very wet whilst showering, felt bad for having to use a towel, also lighting for outside. It was quite dark and so a little difficult to locate and no lights for safety when arriving in the evening.

CanadaThe hot water in the kitchen was just a trickle which made it a little frustrating to use.
The host left a few food items for us. We cooked our own breakfast. The location was a little different than we thought. We didn't realize it was not in Kinsale and we were concerned with the path the gps was taking us, but once we got there, it was great, and we were actually quite pleased with the location. We were glad for the privacy of the place and the ability to lounge in the house. The place was well equipped with everything we needed. We especially appreciated the laundry .

IrelandThe only negative was the price. As much as I realise where we were and location was fab, I just thought the price was very high for a stay cation. Understand that everything is going up in price though.
The house was beautiful, cosy and clean. Slight smell of oil in one of the bedrooms noted however wasn't there all the time. Put it down to the tank being outside the window of this bedroom. The house had everything we needed for our family stay. We cooked in most nights. Garden was fabulous for the children and very safe. Great to have netflix on the TV. So lovely to get back to Kinsale/Ballinspittle after 4 yrs and made even nicer staying in a lovely location. Thank you Fiona!!
