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.).

AustraliaGetting lost lol. There was nothing I didn't like about the property.
If I could give a higher rating than 10, I would certainly do so. Itinially my GPS 'led me up the garden path' and I got a little lost, ending up at an old delapided house lol, but a call to Susan and she met me out on the road to guide me. Susan was a charming host and she made me feel very welcome. I was very interested in her beautiful family photos in beautiful wooden frames of her father (as a young boy) and his parents, in pride of place in the guest lounge room. The lounge chairs were so comfy, I just fell into them and didn't was to leave.... Her beautiful home is filled with so much love and many family photos in every room. My room was soooo big, the KS bed was very comfy (although my feet kept on hitting the bedend because I am so tall lol). The bedding on both beds (KS & single) was beautiful and although the house is close to a road, you can hardky hear the cars going by. There was a tray next to the single bed, with a kettle, t/c, sugar, china mug and jug of water. Down the hall was another mini kitchen area with a microwave, toaster, milk jugs and milk in a small fridge. The shower was strong and hot (a huge plus after a very long day of travelling). Lots of lighting over the vanity basin, with clean glasses, large good quality bottles of cond, shampoo & body wash were nicely arranged in the shower. There was also good quality toilet paper as well which you don't often find. The manicured gardens are a sheer delight with lots of little quirky things to look at. The guest lounge was gorgeous and it was a delight to sit in the quiet of the afternoon and listen to & watch the birds in the garden, whilst enjoying all her family pictures on the wall. Breakfast was included, and a table was set in the bay window looking out onto the garden. There was SO much to choose from....

United KingdomIf I'm being really 'picky', I would just mention that the driveway entrance is right at the junction of the main road and their side road, and we drove past it because there's only a small sign for the house - so we had a little drive in some lovely countryside until we realised our mistake - certainly not a hardship or problem.
We have visited Ireland quite regularly, mainly ferry to Dublin, and hadn't really been able to drop on a suitable B&B in a nice area, for our overnight prior to returning to the UK - until now! Laithreach Briuin is perfect - friendly, clean, and only a couple of hundred metres from the Grand Canal, with a lovely walk into Maynooth. For an overnight stay, it's perfect, but now we've found it, we'll be back and will be staying for longer to explore the area. It's just in a lovely setting with a long driveway to very easy, secure private parking. Our room was spotlessly clean, as was the entire place, and Susan and Anthony were so friendly and helpful.

IrelandSusan is a wonderful host- very welcoming and friendly. The house is situated a few minute's drive from Maynooth town. Breakfast spread was great and hot food was very tasty. Room and ensuite were spotless and comfortable. There are facilities in the hallway (fridge, toaster and microwave). Would highly recommend and will stay again.

it was super easy to find, and so welcoming when I arrived even though it was late in the evening. The room I had was spotless, warm, cosy and as I am Coeliac there were even Gluten free treats left with tea, coffee etc for me in my room. There was gluten free bread for me in the morning and everything perfectly saved and presented to make sure that there was no cross contamination-
