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 StatesBathroom was very narrow.
Comfortable place to stay next to the college campus. Old building so has charm balanced by hauling luggage up stairs and quirky layout. On-site parking is limited so arrive early. Worked well for our needs.

IrelandIt's at least 20 min by walk from the centre of cork.
The bedroom was big enough for two people to move around, and it was clean. The breakfast started at an early hour and it gave you the possibility to leave the building and visit the surrounding with plenty of time.

United KingdomI was content. There wasn't anything that I didn't like. The room was small, with a single bed, but it was clean and comfortable and had a window. En suite bathroom was spacious.
Location and river view at breakfast was pleasant. The breakfast was prepared nicely. The staff were friendly, helpful and accommodating. They held my bag as I had arrived early, and on my last day they offered to dry my raincoat in the dryer after I was drenched and about to go to the airport. I appreciated that. The bathroom was clean and had a large tub with plenty of hot water.

IrelandShower was hard to figure our as two taps both controlling pressure and temperature and hard to get it right. Breakfast service was a little slow, we asked for tea about 4 times before we got it, as not many staff for the amount of guests. There was also no alternative/plant milk which is unusual in this day and age.
Location was great, very central and we could walk to the centre easily. Room and bathroom was spacious. We had seat by the river for breakfast and it was a lovely sunny day. Staff were friendly.

Staff very helpful from beginning to end, going over and above to make sure our needs were met. The location is ideal, along the river lee with lots of nature around. Our room was very spacious and comfortable and we even had a jacuzzi bath in our room, which was a nice surprise! Quiet with plenty of private car parking available, and close to the centre of Cork.

AustraliaNot much room to place and open our 2 suitcases.
I liked having the convenient ground floor unit, since stairs are a problem for me. Everything was clean and the common areas were welcoming. Breakfast was freshly prepared. Hosts were helpful and loaned us adaptor for our phone charger. Also allowed us to leave our luggage after checkout. Also I liked the proximity to the beautiful grounds of Cork University College.

IrelandOverpriced for one person. I dropped something on the floor behind a chair in a corner and it was very dirty when I retrieved it. The shower curtain was too short so water from the shower got on the bathroom floor. The shower ran scalding hot if a guest in another room flushed a toilet. I couldn't find the water dispenser mentioned in the room notes. The room was fine for 1 person but I think it would have felt small if there were 2.
It was grand I suppose. The bed and pillows were fine. I didn't have breakfast (there was an extra charge) but it smelled nice. My room was near the entrance and although I heard the door a few times in the night it wasn't overly noisy. Nice location in the city.
