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.).

IrelandHonestly everything was exceptional, the welcome we received, the lovely staff, the gorgeous estate house which felt like it was ours for the weekend, the grounds, sauna, Sky Garden and of course the comfy beds. We left feeling so relaxed and are still floating on air. The blue skies and sunshine helped too!

IrelandStunning grounds with a beautiful Manor House and scenic surroundings. We stayed in the lake house which had lovely views of the grounds and lake. Staff were really attentive and welcoming, which thoroughly added to the experience with their friendliness. Dinner in the garden restaurant was excellent! All drinks were lovely in the bar and the ambience of the house was really warm, they also turned on the rugby match and were very obliging. Overall 10/10, will be returning!

IrelandI am pleased to express that my stay was thoroughly enjoyable, devoid of any negative aspects, with welcoming surroundings, attentive staff, comfortable accommodations, and commendable amenities, making it a highly recommended experience.
An absolutely breathtaking locale, the driveway alone sets the tone for an exceptional experience. The space is nothing short of fabulous, with my personal highlight being the cocktail bar and dining room—both exuding grandeur through their simple yet elegant decor. Immaculately clean, the atmosphere is warm and cozy, creating a welcoming retreat. The staff, exemplifying superlative hospitality, were not only helpful but also exceptionally kind. Additionally, Irene, the lady who works there, is absolutely amazing and incredibly welcoming. Her presence added an extra touch of warmth to an already outstanding stay.

United KingdomThe Location and grounds of the hotel are really outstanding with a lovely walk down to the lake. They also accommodate less mobile guests by providing `golf carts` for easy access to the grounds. Very friendly and helpful staff. We also found the food to be excellent, The rooms very comfortable, clean and well maintained. We had a very relaxing stay.

IrelandThe staff were more than welcoming, the bedroom was a good size, perfectly clean and everything felt like it was of the highest standard. Mary, on the reception desk was the perfect host- welcoming, kind, and well organized. She went out of her way to make us feel at home and made sure we didn't feel out of place with our 11month old. The food was the best food we've had in a long long time and we couldn't recommend it highly enough. We will definitely be returning to liss ard estate, without a doubt.

United StatesThe room that breakfast was served in seems a little too sterile and cafeteria like. I much preferred our dinner dining experience. Much cozier and more intimate. And for all the skeptics, yes there are fish in the lake. The picture is of a Northern Pike caught during our 2 day stay.
