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.).

AustraliaSadly they seem to have dropped the ball on Breakfasts since I last stayed. Rubbery bacon, undercooked tomato and cold hash browns. Very nice coffee and tea though.
All dealings with the staff were great. A friendly helpful bunch.

IrelandThe Receptionist did not advise that we book for dinner on checking in. We were there for a funeral so we were not thinking straight. The price we were quoted for some reason was in sterling.
The breakfast was good. You got what you asked for. The location is excellent in the heart of Monaghan town. Would recommend it for a short stay.

IrelandWe couldnt sleep until after 3am with the noise from people partying downstairs/outside. Very lively spot with great night life but unfortunately my friend and I were there for a relaxing shopping break and not the night scene. We should have joined in the craic really. Breakfast was disappointing.
The hotel is so central and convenient for shops, restaurants, walks. The staff were so friendly! Myself and my friend got a very early check in at 11:30 without even having to ask. Easy accesable free off the main street. Lobby had a lovely aymosphere, chill during the day but wonderful lively vibe at night. Inhad lunch in the lobby/bar and it was very well presented and tasty. Bedroom was traditional, perfect size and had all we needed. The mugs provided for coffee were decent sized and not the typical small ones. Biscuits and water provided also. Room was warm and clean.

United KingdomBed was comfortable, but the duvet wasn't great. More of a blanket than a duvet. Light switches on the headboard are a little annoying if you prefer to lie in the middle of the bed. Minor complaints.
Very nice hotel lobby and bar area. Room had all the essentials provided. Shower was big and easy to use. Friendly staff.

IrelandWhile the rooms were smaller than the standard modern hotels, we appreciated it was an older hotel, and I must say that the rooms were were very clean and comfortable and had all the usual extra toiletries, so on reflection it was perfect for our stay.
Breakfast and choices were great, and the staff facilitated our son and partner for breakfast even though they were later down, Our rooms were very clean and the beds were very comfortable, Location was perfect, as everywhere we needed to go was within walking distance.
