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 beds were a bit different than we are used to, but apart from that our stay was perfect.
The cottage was in a beautiful rural setting, so peaceful and quiet. A perfect base for exploring the area and its history. Staying in the cottage was like stepping back in time, a fantastic experience for us to see and stay in a 200-year-old cottage, but with all the modern necessities. The owners were so nice, and Dan even told us about the history of the cottage.

IrelandJust spent a week with my family in this beautiful, atmospheric cottage. So cosy and peaceful and the location was stunning. We made so many great memories. Everything we needed was provided and the hosts, Kathleen and Dan were such lovely people. Going to miss it and hope to be back next year!

IrelandOnly negative was the 5 hour drive from Carlow :-)
An absolutely brilliant break away. A really beautiful location and a great experience staying in a traditional cottage with so much history & character. The surrounding area was full of lots of historical heritage & character with stone circles, parks and wild coast line - ('Glenichaquin' a must see and on the door step) Kathleen & Dan were so kind and welcoming and made the stay all the more special. Dan gave us a guided tour & history of the cottage and its origins. Lovely people. The cottage itself is basic but functional, cool in the heat and in a really quiet area, safe for kids and lots of room to play outside ...excellent 4G mobile coverage if needed. Its a 15 minute drive for groceries but not hugely inconvenient, small local shop in walking distance for bread, milk newspapers and treats. There was 6 of us altogether and all round it was one of the most memorable holidays we have had in Ireland.
