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.).

IrelandThere was a couple of small things that didn’t really affect my overall stay. There was no soap in my bathroom when I arrived but when I called down for the blanket the next day and asked for the soap also, it was brought immediately. I’d say it was probably just forgotten, little things like that can be easily missed. At the breakfast, it would’ve been nice to have beans and the rashers were like American style so it was a little difficult to cut the fat off them and get the meat out. It also would’ve been nice to have breakfast earlier on Sunday. The 7:30am start was perfect for Saturday but it would’ve been good for Sunday also. Finally the music from the bar on the Saturday night was very loud. Maybe it would be a good idea to warn guests in certain rooms that this would be the case before they check into those rooms. Like I said though my stay was overall delightful and I’d be more than happy to stay here again and recommend it to others!
The staff were amazing! Linda on the front desk was so warm and friendly! Nathalia on the dining team was very friendly also but she also spotted that some cups weren’t clean and before anything had to be said to her, took them, apologised and replaced them, she was just so professional! She was also happy to accommodate my picky eating. The housekeeping staff I encountered were very nice also. I found the duvet quite suffocating my first night and when I rang down to reception the next day to request a blanket instead, they were so accommodating and had it sent straight up to me. The staff member who serviced my room was an absolute dote! She was friendly while also remaining professional and I appreciated her compliment of my hair. The grounds were beautiful to explore and see the dolmen. The pastries at breakfast were lovely and fresh and the mini loafs were so cute and delicious. I was surprised at how good the gym was; usually hotels only have free weights (which I’m not comfortable using) but this one had a range of fixed weight machines. The treadmills also had a fan feature to keep cool whilst on them which was wonderful!

IrelandThe receptionist was anything but welcoming unfortunately, the bar staff looked liked he would rather be anywhere else but he was there from the start of the wedding till the residents bar and let us know that too. Thank god for the band and dj that lifted the evening.
It's a beautiful hotel in an amazing setting, a wonderful place for a wedding. The bedroom was fab and the bed so comfy. We were there for a wedding. There was one of your staff that stood out to me, (I hate using this expression ) but she was an older lady, very friendly went out of her way with the children that were there. She had a smile on her face all the time even at breakfast the next morning.
