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 KingdomThat we couldn't stay longer 😞 There isn't anything we didn't like at all
The location is beautiful. Wish I could've enjoyed the view from the room more. Girl on reception was really friendly and very helpful. Girl serving breakfast was the same. Very laid back vibe which is great.

MaltaRooms need some maintenance and to go to rooms you need to pass from the restaurant with the luggage even in busy hours. Decore is a bit old.

IrelandMenu was ok but could do with improvement. I thought it was quite expensive for what I got and didn't think my meal was great. Maybe I just got unlucky with my choice.
as a solo traveller I was very happy to be upgraded to a lovely room when I arrived last week! I used to live in this area and now live in Kerry, so I come back now and again to visit friends. I will definitely used the Shoreline hotel again as its convenient, friendly and right beside the sea for daily swims!

IrelandBathroom in the room hadn’t been renovated like the rest of the room so was very dated old shower that soaked the place even with curtain pulled. We also go breakfast included and the menu was quite poor 3/4 options and not many vegetarian options or not great options on kids menu we where disappointed probably wouldn’t book breakfast if we stay again definitely not worth it.
The room was really nice we had a view of the sea

United KingdomLocation was a fair way from the City so there was no were else to go locally, But a wonderful Location, with stunning views, My Bedroom Table was too small to sit at, As I could not get my legs under the table to do my Laptop work following days out on the road visiting clients, Not the end of the world, I guess...but sometimes its the little things, a bit off a funky smell from the bathroom so kept the door shut, tap water tasted yuk, so bring bottled water or use the bottled water provided.
Fantastic Beachside Location, Lovely Food in the Restaurant with a good choice of Beers Friendly staff, Fantastic Irish Fry Breakfast last you all day Huge.

The room opened up onto a grass area above the beach. Very quiet location and could easily have stayed another night.

United StatesThere were switches on the walls that we couldn't figure out they were for, and it seemed like the heat was turned off, but luckily it was a mild night.
Great location. Right on the beach and adjacent to a scenic walking path, easy and quick drive to rental car return at the Dublin airport. Comfortable and quiet room. Good breakfast choices.

United KingdomHard to find, Sat nav took us totally wrong at one stage The hotel was not in the same direction as the town - town left and hotel right and we missed the sign the first time. Probably a bit quiet for some people as it's out on its own. My eveningmeal choice of tuna nicoise was on the small side with anchovies in the dressing rather than part of the salad. Cooked breakfast good however a bit too crunchy - probably under the heat lamp for a while. The choice of cereal a bit limited with no porridge or muesli. Overall would recommend - we had fantastic weather so it might be a bit limited if it was a more normal rainy and windy couple of days
Location on the shore and beside the beach. Upgrade to a balcony room which was very spacious and had a wonderful view from the balcony Staff very helpful and friendly. Evening meal generally good - fish and chips excellent. Breakfast good especially the omelet. Late checkout appreciated - we left earlier but good not to feel under pressure. Will go back again..
