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.).

IrelandEverything was perfect 👌
Great location, beautiful and peaceful place at the coast. Close to the big , amazing beach, great place for surfers or for nice long walks. Around 30 min drive to Ceide Fields ( archaeological site of North Mayo) and around 20 min to Downpatrick Head. The host Michaela was amazing. Very nice and helpful person. She provided all the information about the area, what to see, where to go. And breakfast...very very good typical irish breakfast with joghurts, cereals and fruits. Highly recommended place!

United KingdomI would not change a single thing. I knew in advance of booking that my little dog could not be in the room but she happily sleeps in the car.
The reception was so very friendly and welcoming. The room was spotless, comfortable and had the promised view. The breakfast was fantastic! Nothing was too much trouble. I did not need lunch for the four days. I have kept photos of the “Mayo Fry” as my new gold standard!

IrelandWe highly recommend this place for people that are searching for peace, quiet and relaxation. The owner is very friendly, doesn’t cause any problems and will always help you. The home is very well looked after. Not far from the home there is a local bar where you can have a few pints. For dinner you must go to a different town, around 12 km from there. There is a beach very close where you can walk around and enjoy the view. We highly recommend this

BrazilNearly indescribable the experience in all its minimum details. We've never been so very welcomed before. The hostess was attentive, courteous, and we had the most enjoyable talk in the morning. And so her husband and son. The whole place was spotless and impeccable and breakfast wonderful. The bath sheets smelled like a meadow and I'll remember the shower forever haha. I'd have stayed for another night if it would be possible. I could keep reeling off all things I liked, actually. But can't forget to mention the cutest dogs Aufie and Bella.

IrelandBreakfast was excellent with a lot of options and prepared by the host. You had a feeling that you are like a part of family but at the same time with great freedom and support in your exploration plan of the area. There is also beautiful scenery with cliffs and an amazing beach. A great view of the sea from your window makes this spot perfect for a nice getaway. The hosts were very welcoming, open and supportive. We would definitely recommend this place for your stay if you planning to travel to the area.
