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.).

Beautiful property and space. Very high level of cleanliness and attention to detail. Host Elaine was very friendly and helpful. She went above and beyond taking us & another couple into nearby Carlingford for the evening. We will definitely be back - the outdoor space was lovely too and would be very relaxing in the summer months.

CanadaWe just completed a month long trip around Ireland, and this was one of the last places we stayed. Of all the places we stayed, this was the best, if you need an excellent guest house near Carlingford, pick Riverside, you will not be disappointed.

GermanyNothing, really. We didn't mind keeping our blinds down once we relaxed a bit during the day since we were located towards the driveway yard..
We had an amazing stay! Our hosts we're very welcoming. Due to a car problem, we thought we needed to shorten our stay and the host was very helpful with trying to get a bokking in place for ours, but luckily, our rental got exchanged and fixed up so we could enjoy our 2 day stay at last. The breakfast options were great, and the offer of fresh fruit was far more than in any place else we've been on our trip to. Great full Irish breakfast, also veggie option, and actually some other guests had distinct requests which were taken care of too. The bed was amazing, and the room and bathroom were clean and tidy, actually prepped with all sorts of thoughtful things! We really did enjoy our stay and took the recommendations to visit some beaches nearby, literally 5min drive away. Would definitely visit again! Thanks alot. We had a splendid end of our Ireland trip.

This place is absolutely gorgeous and far better than some hotels we've stayed in. It is really comfortable and the breakfast is fantastic. It's about a 10 minute drive outside Catligford so it's really quite we would highly recommend Riversde Lodhe and would definitely go back.
