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.).

IrelandCan be difficult to get sunbeds, pool staff did bring out additional sunbeds during the week. Did have the usual 'sunbed wars' each morning.....but saying that we always managed to get sunbeds. Possibly could do with few extra umbrellas.
Perfectly located between old & new town. Walk to new town 10 mins, 15 to new town. Lovely quiet hotel, slept soundly without any noise each night. Air con was quiet and worked well all during our stay. Didnt eat in the hotel so can't comment. House keeping did a great job daily, never once saw them but kept our apartment perfectly, never bothered us knocking on the door to get in but always did the room while we were out. Reception staff very friendly and were able to accommodate our early arrival which got our holiday off to a great start.

United KingdomRated 5* but felt certain things were lacking for a 5* Allergens in the restaurant were not clear, staff were not entirely sure what foods contained which allergens and there was a slight language barrier as well. My husband is coeliac and gluten-free foods were not always clear and were not particularly abundant. Small details but for a 5* hotel would be nice if there was hair conditioner, body moisturiser provided rather than just a 2 in 1 shampoo and shower gel in a combined dispenser gym opening hours 9-6 is very limited All inclusive with access to over 30 restaurants however we found that each night there was only one speciality restaurant open and sometimes these were fully booked
Clean, excellent location, friendly staff

United KingdomRoom service was abysmal, returning after all day out and beds still not made, no tea making materials in the room other than two cups/two spicers and two spoons and a kettle. Cups left unwashed, no replishment of supplies. Black mould on the floor of the bathroom, generally room cleaning needs to be greatly improved for a 5* hotel
The Hotel was nicely presented but l believe was overrated with a 5* rating, l found it to be a good 4* and an excellent 3* rating. This food was very good for a buffet style service. It was supposedly‘Themed’ nights, but there was no actual information displayed as to what the actual Theme night was actually occurring. Generally though a nice Hotel, slightly overpriced overall.

CanadaThe beds were not the most comfortable. I believe the mattresses need changing. Even though we requested house cleaning to come in once a week some were not as efficient as others.
The breakfast was good, plenty of selection. The room was a good size and it's location wasn't too noisy. Nice there was an indoor pool (as well as an outdoor pool) for the cooler days. The staff were very nice, always ready and able to help when asked.

United KingdomSpa area was a bit jaded. Sauna had bits of wood that had clearly fallen off and not been repaired. Bar area could have had a better lay out with more seating choices.
Food was generally very good. Lots of choices with salads and vegetables. Main courses were a bit of a hotch pot and perhaps should have been focussed. Surprised that wasn’t more fish on the menu.

IrelandWhen we got there, they left our room full of other peoples clothes, we kept finding things that didn't belong to us, the shower was broken, tv was broken and we were pestered by the staff at 2 in the morning when apparently they got the wrong room to accuse of smoking inside, also some of the TV channels themselves were not working.
The hotel itself was beautiful, beautiful views, different activities to do, kept us wondering what we will do next in the grounds alone. Most of the staff were lovely very helpful, the food was amazing, couldn't ask for better quality! Both pools were like something out of a dream, when we wondered what to do next there was always something to explore in or around the hotel, just a delightful hotel. Couldn't ask for better placement either! Highly recommend It to be on someone's to do list!
