How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Restaurant couldn’t take us for dinner which was ok because we didn’t have a booking but we were told the same menu was in the bar ,, what’s the point of a restaurant if same menu was in bar . Then we waited 30 minutes for our meal ! Pizza was only ok. When our key card didn’t work , the reception gave us a new one without asking for ID or names , just our room no , totally unacceptable! When we were checking out we qued because the receptionist was dealing with another customer, fair enough. But then another customer walked in front of us to check out and another receptionist did the check out, leaving us stand there!! The reasons we didn’t complain is because we were in Sligo attending a funeral and we were already upset.
Property was fabulous and immaculate

Spa staff
Hotel Staff was really cooperative but the hotel room bed was not really comfy and a not a good view. Services n breakfast good. But I feel really disappointed by the spa reception. Was not much welcoming and not a professional behaviour. Send them email before the visit about info mothers to be treatments package. Get no response, not even cooperative to talk or show the treatment room on my personal visit. Just hand over the leaflet.

The breakfast was excellent with very good selection. The only improvement that could be made would be to provide a cooked breakfast to order rather than the buffet.
The staff were very friendly and cheerful. The location was ideal for touring Sligo and South Donegal.

We had a big double bed but my children had a sofa bed where their mattress wasn’t in good shape. There was like a bump in the middle. My children complained about it. The air conditioning stopped 2 times in the middle of the night. I woke up because it became hot and realized the air conditioning was off. It wasn’t a pleasant sleep for us.
In a nice area, big family room.

Two things… Management need to take this on board as the staff on the ground were terrific . 1) it’s probably in the small print that the thermal area in the spa has a charge of €15 euro or there about.But Management need to remind staff to tell this to guests on the spot about this . 2) The steam room was out of order but I was still charged the full amount for using the thermal suit.
The staff…at reception,in the restaurant,the spa and the housekeepers. They were helpful with what to see and do ,kind,respectful and conducted their duties in a professional manner and with lots of charm.

Breakfast was extremely busy and not family friendly
The staff were extremely friendly. We were travelling for a celebration for my daughter. The staff gave her a personalised card and gift. This made her feel so special and excited. The staff in the restaurant were also very accommodating when we had a very fussy baby with us.
