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.).

Marguerite is everything an old school lovely Irish hostess is but at the same time has adapted to modern times seamlessly. Her house and manicured gardens were a peaceful respite for me in Skibereen. My room faced the lush back garden which was very pleasant and calming. Her breakfast was to die for and there were so many extra choices including: fresh fruit, yogurts, cereals, granola, a traditional Irish breakfast made to order, fresh coffee and a selection of teas and fresh juices. She was extremely welcoming, pleasant and kind. I enjoyed our conversations immensely! There was also a very comfortable and homey sitting room to enjoy at your leisure and when I arrived she offered me a cup of coffee which was accompanied by her home baked delicious fruitcake. It really does not get better than this folks.

Warm and friendly host. Very clean and comfortable room and facilities. Excellent breakfast, efficient and friendly service and a lovely and scenic area to walk around. The main area in town has a Heritage Centre worth visiting. All made for a memorable stay and can highly recommend. We are considering revisiting, we enjoyed visiting so much.

United KingdomNothing, it was fantastic
The greeting from Marguerite was amazing, so friendly, tea served in the lounge on arrival was most welcome after a wet and windy journey. Our room was warm and comfortable with plenty of space. Marguerite is a special person, nothing was too much trouble and her recommendation for dinner (originally the Church restaurant which was unavailable but second choice West Cork hotel) was spot on, excellent food and watching the rugby. Marguerite dropped us off and picked us up - another plus as we’d had a long driving day around the stunning Wild Atlantic coast. Thus place is definitely on our list when we return for another tour x

United KingdomBed was a little hard for my bad back but probably fine for most people.
Marguerite is a total gem. She couldn’t do enough to ensure we had a good stay. Wonderful well-kept gardens, fabulous breakfast (freshly picked blackberries and fresh fruit smoothies included as well as cereal, fruit salad and cooked breakfast options). A range of hand crocheted articles for sale lovingly made by Marguerite herself. Especially delightful are her little crocheted angels. Very reasonable prices. PS. Pay cash for your room if you can - use it or lose it! Marguerite is willing to accept cash.
