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 KingdomWas a bit unsure who the food in the shared fridge belonged to. There were cereals and milk and good coffee but wasn't sure if the butter and bread belonged to the longer term visitors. Maybe some clearer labelling in fridge might be helpful at breakfast time. Other than that it was fab.
Lovely location, kind host, clean and warm and comfortable. Lovely views and peaceful walk down to the lake and harbour.

IrelandHouse was echoey so every noise echoed through the upstairs, the walls err paper thin and you could hear the full conversations of those in the next room. Floors were squeaky and noisy. Rooms (especially bathroom) could do with TLC in places and it smelt musty.

IrelandSound travels between bedrooms so if your neighbour is noisy you will hear it until they stop. Creaky floors. No cooked breakfast - the advertised shared kitchen was an upstairs landing area with some cereal and bread, fridge and microwave. The accommodation should not be advertised as a B&B. Overall it felt like clean, basic student/ hostel accommodation with private rooms that would suit workers who need somewhere to stay overnight. For this it's a great option. For people on holidays that want a taste of Irish hospitality I couldn't recommend it. It's by far the least welcoming place that I have stayed in, The gentleman who met me at the door just stared at me until I said I had a booking then said 'go around to the other door'. Wouldn't win any personality contests. It does the job and I'll probably stay there again when travelling with work as it was cheaper than other options, was clean and I got a decent sleep once the noise dropped around midnight.
Comfy bed. Good shower power. Clean. Cheaper than other options. Microwave and fridge available 24/7.

AustraliaDisappointed that although it was a B&B the breakfast was actually some shared cereal packets and breads left out in a common room. We weren’t sure if we were eating what we were supposed to or someone else’s food.
Location was good, and rural views lovely.

IrelandNot much! You need a car to access, but thats typical for the area. Bathroom fan is very loud. Nothing else to note!
Very handy B&B, with spotlessly clean rooms and comfortable beds. Very easy access, and good to be able to let yourself in and out, to go and come as you please. Lovely views, and bathrooms are small but well equipped. Breakfast area is well stocked with breads, butters, jams etc, with cereal options, toaster, microwave and egg cooking device. Nice that you can access this whenever, and not constrained by typical breakfast times. If youre looking for breakfast or lunch, Rostellan Farm and Ballymaloe House close by and are both excellent, organic food options. Ballybrannigan Beach is a short drive and very nice!

IndiaNo breakfast included despite advertised as B&B. Cearal, microwave and kettle left in communial area. Bread left for toast but was stale and out of date. One country loaf of bread was 2 months out of date and still on table. Only 2 spoons available for cereal so had to wash and share/reuse someone elses spoon. Cereal bowls badly stained. This is an OK stay for work purposes only but not for a holiday break. Most people staying just skipped cereal in the morning and got food in local store. A stay here is more akin to a hostel with private room, rather than a B&B.
Clean rooms.

IrelandThe only major grip is the lack of Breakfast. It is advertised as a B&B but in reality it's missing the breakfast. You do get tea / coffee and cereal but as a B&B I would expect a proper breakfast.
Staff very friendly and the location is situated in the cork country side. The rooms are spacious and very clean. Slight issue with the heat in the room but that was fixed very quickly. Compared with the cost of staying in other accommodations in cork its competitively priced. Only one gripe with is outlined below

United StatesIt is far out of town and if you don't have a vehicle you are paying a taxi service around $20.00 each trip to shop for groceries, pick up power adapters and catch trains. Other than that there is nothing to do. The room was cold day and night and there was no way to turn on the heat. The Bed and Breakfast name is a misnomer. There were two containers of dry cereal and a refrigerator with milk. Other than that, you bought your own supplies. So, as pleased as I was with the woman who owns the place, I have no intentions of going there again.
The proprietor was pleasant and helpful. The view of the Irish countryside was pleasant. The bed was comfortable.

United Kingdomwe didn’t realise that there wasn’t a cooked breakfast so were disappointed , the pre covid reviews were misleading as they raved about the cooked breakfasts! The ‘kitchen’ area and cereal, bread and fruit provided was adequate. It was difficult to use the kitchen area and move about the property at night without making noise and we heard other guests at various times, also snoring and conversations from other rooms were easily heard.
