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 KingdomSpa treatments had to be booked well in advance. Our 'premium' balcony rooms, although in a quiet location, didn't offer as nice views as many of the standard room as they were located down the side of the Hotel.
We liked the flexibility of check-in and the range of options for Breakfast

IrelandOnly issue was the temperature and shower pressure in the bathroom, took about 5 minutes to get it hot and had to play with the shower pressure.
Everything was perfect from the staff in the reception when we checked in Saturday afternoon the room was perfect amazing view of the harbour, to the staff in the restaurant that evening were very helpful and polite, to the staff members when we arrived on to breakfast felt comfortable and looked after. We look forward to returning to the killaloe hotel again.

IrelandI hadn’t a table booked for food so could not get bar food or restaurant or anything to eat, all very understandable as it was a busy day but I felt I should have been able to get bar food to have in room.
Room was very cosy and beds were very comfortable, great shower.

IrelandI found the day time shift receptionist rude on the phone and in person and was more concerned with talking to fellow staff. When I arrived at the hotel and went to enquire about the room the lady was more interested in brushing me off and carrying on her conversation. This was also the same when during lunch as I arrived a bit early she called about my dinner booking and some confusion about if I was booked for afternoon tea. She kept interrupting me when I was trying to speak (I had been for afternoon tea the month before for my birthday and had wanted to say that it was mostly a note related to an old booking and I had definitely booked for dinner) she just kept speaking over me and this was the same at the desk. I sat with my son in the reception to wait to go to our room which she wasn’t even willing to check if it was ready( I had asked for early book in which she said she saw but didn’t respond to in terms of mentioning anything regarding checking) she seemed to me to save her energy for the “girls” at work and was full of energy and kindness but god forbid I ask a question. I was bringing my son away for his birthday to a spa after having been in hospital as I deal with a lot of health issues. I have travelled extensively and seen a lot of Ireland and different hotels and this was absolutely disgusting. I was not staying for free I was a paying customer who spent a decent amount in the hotel. Where I found other staff and the other evening shift receptionist Iddy to be amazing, I think this needs addressing. I did speak to a manager about it but also found the manager a bit cool and said she would speak to her manager. Then within a few minutes the receptionist came to find me to say our room was ready but to be honest it really spoiled my stay because it really pissed me off. No paying customer should be treated like an interruption. Staff are paid to cater to guests it is the hospitality sector!
I liked the staff in the restaurant and spa they went above and beyond to help and do what they can to make guests feel comfortable. The restaurant is lovely.
