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.).

Property was clean warm and comfortabe. Perfect location, very close to the town.

PortugalFrom a safety perspective - only complaint is that the stairs have no functional handrail. It's more like a flat bit of wood vs a raised circular rail, for example. I would be VERY cautious going up and especially down - and extra so if children or elderly guests were in the apartment.
Townhouse #4. Great little place within walking distance everything you'll need in Kinsale! Master Bedroom is good size and is ensuite. 2 Single beds only in 2nd bedroom. But both can be converted into bunk-beds. Living area is beautiful - fantastic veranda and outdoor 'garden' - lovely view of Kinsale. Kitchen has a full oven, toaster, coffee machine, and big fridge/freezer, washer and dryer, stove top. All plates, cookware, cleaning supplies. Heating is fab and heats fast. You will need a mobile phone to call someone and you'll be met at the apartment at an arranged time. All in all, lovely place....we decided we will be staying again - especially if the price is right ✨

United StatesWhat we found missing was a booklet, explaining the uses of the unit. Like how to use the washer & dryer properly, check in & check out times, protocol for leaving the stay, list of restaurant & menus...things of that nature which (as we are experienced travelers), would normally find. Also, there were no paper towels, napkins or tissues on site so that was a bit inconvenient, as guests. The air in Kinsale was a bit stagnant so we would have loved to have had portable fans made available. However, we did not ask for them as we did not want to bother the kind lady who represented the property owner for this.
I think the best thing about the place was its location. Truly could not have found a better place. Overall, the cleanliness was good.
