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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

United Kingdomsingle bed was really narrow Blinds not great at keeping light out. Soundproofing not great both from street or guests coming and going in the night.
Great location - right next to Botanic station, under 20 mins walk to city centre and Grand Central - Windsor Park is walking distance and you could go from City Airport to room in 30 mins. Many shops, bars and restaurants on the doorstep Tea and coffee in room Good shower Good TV

United KingdomThere was nothing that I disliked about the accommodation.
I was looking for last minute accommodation to stay over in Belfast following my participation in the Belfast Marathon. Hotels were at a premium for the night, but the Botanic Rest stood out on Booking.com as it had accommodation that suited my needs and at a very reasonable price, and there were plenty of toilet/shower facilities within the building for sharing. A simple single room that was fitted out with everything that I could need for my short stay, and from my Queen's student days, I knew that it was situated in a very nice part of the city within walking distance of the city centre but with good public transport links on the doorstep. There were also plenty of cafes, diners, and bars in the immediate vicinity for food, drinks, and entertainment. I was not aware of the Botanic Rest before, but I will certainly check out its availability in future when I plan to stay over in Belfast.

United KingdomNo shelf for toiletries in the shower. Milk was a bit off for breakfast
Stayed here for one night with my friend. The twin room was small but perfect for our needs. The room was warm and very clean. The beds, although a little soft for my liking, were nonetheless comfortable. The ensuite, although small was adequate and had hot water. The location is perfect. Lots of restaurants and bars close by and regular buses into the centre. The receptionist was super friendly and helpful. Although they don't advertise breakfast there was toast and cereal and tea and coffee available in the morning. A nice touch to keep you going until you get to a cafe. Although the milk was a little off the morning I was there. I would definitely stay here again.

IrelandThe location is perfect for my travel needs! I felt like the room needed better planning. There was no bedside table, I didn't mind charging my devices on the outlets that were set far from the bed (inconvenient but tolerable), however, when lying in bed, there was nowhere to set down my water bottle, phone, or book for easy access. The room was clean, beds tidy - on my last visit the pillow was horrible; I had better luck this time but I do wish that any twin bed come with two pillows (the headboard isn't padded so you'd like the extra comfort when watching TV and/or if you need extra neck support whilst sleeping, which I do). The receptionist was fantastic, I'd give him ten stars! The key fob entry is great, I feel very safe, and overall, very satisfied!! 😊

United KingdomThe shower in the room was very basic, and you had to hand hold the shower head to complete your shower. It refused to stay on the wall. It was also a little on the small side. It was hower en suite as described As I said for a three night stay, it did suit our needs
It was very clean and couldn't fault the cleanliness. Very close to all amenities, it suited our needs as a place to sleep as we were visiting Family close by.
