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 KingdomIf you aren't a fan of walking then you'll need a taxi or car to get to the local villages (Annagry, for example), and the 30 minute walk there is a nice one. Showers were a little temperamental, but worked eventually!
The Loch Connell Lodge is a beautiful, spacious and relaxing property nestled in the gorgeous Donegal Countryside. The rooms and beds are really comfortable, and the property was really well catered, included items from breakfast, washing facilities, different areas to relax and some nice outdoor spaces for when the weather is nice. The place is well signposted from the road, and offered a lot of space for parking if you've taken a car. You'll be sharing with other guests, but the house is big enough to not feel cramped, and everyone when we were there was very pleasant and polite. John was a brilliant host, checking in regularly to see how we were and offering advice on the local area.

United StatesThe trail to the lake could have been a little better trimmed, but it wasn't really a problem.
Great access to a trail by the bog, the rooms were nice, the kitchen table and sunroom were very scenic and comfortable. John was friendly and helpful, it was a great experience :)

IrelandAlthough we initially felt unsure about sharing the living area - it turned out that this was unfounded as guests staggered times they used the kitchen and dining area - similar to a hotel.
Really enjoyed the stay. Lake walk direct from path by lodge. Use of TV room with Netflix. Loved the kitchen with centre island and the long dining table in the conservatory. The host, John, was friendly but respected our privacy. He was very generous - allowed my girls to take part in his kickboxing/ju jitsu session - and wouldn't take any money. There was a really peaceful feel about the place. Thanks a million for your hospitality and generosity John. We will be back.

United KingdomWould be good to have a TV in each bedroom if you want to relax in your room away from the other guests.
A lovely quiet place with local shops nearby and beautiful beaches within a short drive. The owner was really nice and onsite if you need anything. Dog friendly which is why we booked it, we had our dog with us but not a good idea because he was a bit unsettled at night hearing the other guests moving around the house (sorry again 🤦♀️). This is a great place if you are planning on spending alot of time out and about very clean and comfortable and beautiful scenery

Great communication with the host, very friendly. Lovely setting. Comfortable room with private bathroom. Lots of common areas, TV room with netflix, etc. Amazing kitchen with lots of supplies, made late breakfast and weren't rushed away from the dining space on the day of departure. Lots of nice quirky decor bits, nice atmosphere. Local restaurant is 15min walk and had amazing steak there. Really friendly people too, took us in with our dog as it was a bit cold outside. The property is pet friendly too - big bonus!
