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.).

IrelandAll was fabulous! Just a small suggestion: a full body mirror would be a great addition to the deluxe studio.
Beautiful location by the river, 5 min walk into town. Very cozy room with a fire place, all very clean and comfortable. The breakfast is absolutely divine!

United KingdomI should have stayed longer. Nothing to dislike.
This was exceptional and Erica clearly cares about her guests. Beautiful setting, spacious room, nespresso machine, a shower you can turn round in ( rare in Irish B&Bs), glorious bed and scrumptious breakfast, with eggs Benedict cooked by Erica herself And Newport is a pretty town too. Highly recommend this riverside jewel.

IrelandSimply nothing
Simply everything. Erica and John have made Riverside House a true oasis. The house, the bedroom, the dining room, the breakfast, the location, the vibe all wonderful. We would absolutely recommend staying here. We were very disappointed that we only stayed one night. Take our advice and stay at least 2 nights. You won't regret it!

MalaysiaThe room was too cold.
Erica and John (only my partner met him) were exceptional! The friendliest host I have ever met. Breakfast was delicious. John baked their own bread and Erica prepared the breakfast (you can choose French toast, scrambled egg, egg Benedict, etc). The room itself was really clean and comfortable. Two cute cats. They have EV charger, where John would be more than happy to assist.

The property was very well maintained, clean and had a lovely eclectic decor. Some retro furnishings and lovely books. A very interesting b&b. The house and grounds are really very beautiful. The hens add lovely character too. Their eggs were tasty. I don't think they missed anything. There's an EV charging port too. Breakfast was just a lovely experience and the shower was the best😍

IrelandThe room was beautiful, the attention to detail in decorations and equipment amazed me. The bunk bed was a highlight for the little one. The breakfast is the best I ever had in a B&B with loads of homemade food. Erica was very welcoming, from preparing the fireplace every day to tailoring the breakfast to my upset stomach’s needs on the last day.

IrelandWe stayed from December 30 to the first of January, and it was the best decision to stay in Erica’s lovely home to meet the New Years. We were welcomed with smiles and warmth, the rooms were big and were very well equipped with your own fridge, coffee maker, coffee pods, drinking water, and cutleries. The view of the river in the morning just takes away your stress. Every single detail was really thought through, and they even have an electric car charger - which they’ve installed mainly for the guests to use (we came in with an electric car so it means we don’t need to find chargers around town). Then breakfast is something that is done with so much love and effort. Bread is freshly baked, french toast was divine, food is gorgeous, my husband is lactose intolerant and my friend has kids with her and Erica and John made the effort to personalize each order according to each person’s preferences. Truly a remarkable experience and everything is *chef’s kiss*
