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.).

IrelandThe living/kitchen area was utilitarian and sterile, not a place to linger. It was also poorly kitted out eg not enough plates or cutlery for a family of five, despite the booking clearly being for five people.
Perfect for teenagers. Each teen had their own room with an ensuite, good WIFI and a desk which they all enjoyed.

United StatesAll 4 showers had very slow drains and water accumulates quickly almost to top of pan - gross… however nobody available to deal with it on weekends. Internet was out on Sunday, again, nobody available to service it until Monday. We paid a lot of money so we assume basics like decent shower and internet. I have never written a poor review about anywhere I have stayed before.
Nice secure location with nice front desk staff. At first appearance, apartments seem nicely equipped and furnished.

IrelandThe checkout was at 10:30am and seemed a bit early considering the cost was close to a hotel and most accommodations would go by a general 12pm rule.
The layout, accessibility and presentation of the rooms were great. The staff were nice and the location suit us perfectly.

United KingdomThe first night there were shouting students outside both aspects of the flat and in the lobby, yelling to others above. Looking into the windows. We were out the second night, the third night was a repeat, and the corner next to our flat was constantly used by men urinating. The facilities for a large group were poor, less mugs and glasses than people. Everything needed cleaning. The toilets were all stained and smelly on arrival, so had to buy bleach for them, and some of the room chairs were so stained and smelly that we couldn't use them. At £1000 + for 3 nights this was definitely not somewhere we'd choose again, despite the lovely ladies on reception.
The staff were wonderful, helpful and friendly. Parking was free and safe. Easy walk into Cork.
