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.).

AustraliaMore information about the TV and Netflix system. A minor point!
Everything. Really great set up. All bases covered and the meet and greet by the owner was exceptionally helpful. Could stay there for long or short periods equally comfortably.

United KingdomNothing for what l needed. It is as it describes itself . In the woods, do not expect views of the lake.
A nice quiet peaceful location. Ideal for me as a solo motorbike traveller. Two night good rest and and all the facilities to cook a nice meal. The hosts were excellent, describing local area and asking after you, it’s perfect to chill out in. Even had a heated blacker left for me , heaven. Deer were hoped for but l missed their late night wanderings.

United KingdomThe stairs up to the bedroom you need to take care on but the beds upstairs were comfortable & even had electric blankets on .
When we arrived Declan the host had the heater on warming up the place for us . It was probably the first really cold night of the year so it still took a little while for the place to get cosy but soon enough it was nice and warm . It’s such a sweet place in the woods exactly as the pictures show . His dog Mia was waiting outside in the morning to greet us and take us on our walk in the woods just the rain stopped us short . I would love to come to stay here again as it was quiet & a perfect place just to get away from everything .

His dog Maja brought us for a walk in the woods which was definitely a highlight on our trip ❤️ the location is just beautiful surrounded by trees and a little river flowing nearby the house. Amazing place to recharge.

IrelandMy fiancé and I stayed here as we were attending a wedding in Castle Dargan which is 10 minutes away from In The Woods. Declan ordered a taxi for us on arrival. He showed us all the facilities and had the heating on. His dog waited outside the house the following morning and brought us for a walk through Slishwood Forest. Declan had told us the day before that she loves bringing residents for walks so we followed her. It was such an amazing touch to a great stay. A very wholesome spot. Can't recommend this place enough. 10/10.

Idyllic setting nestled in the trees, near other forest parks along a scenic drive into sligo town, access to heating/imersion as needed (no fiddly thermostat, no sleepless hot nights cracking a hotel window 3cm open), WiFi access essential due to secluded area, clever use of space with generous bathroom and best of all a wonderful welcoming host

United StatesGetting to the top room would be difficult if you have any mobility issues, it is up a ladder like stairway.
Declan and his dog were awesome hosts! He informed us of several things to do and his pup even took us for a lovely walk! The location is quiet and secluded feeling, I would consider it like glamping. The kitchen also had every gadget you could think of for cooking a meal! There was also a fox, deer, and a martin that frequent the property! It is very close to beautiful walk to a lake!
