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.).

IrelandThere should be more chopping boards for different kinds of food, especially because some people don't wash them right away or are doing multiple things while they took, so it can take a while before you're able to use the chopping board assigned for that kind of food. In the self-contained shower, it would be great to add something that you can use to rest your things on top of instead of the floor which can be wet. The rooms upstairs can also get pretty hot and the window doesn't open much. Maybe consider providing a small fan for particularly hot days, as it was a bit difficult to fall asleep until the temperature dropped later into the night.
Great location, absolutely dreamy. Very friendly staff. Well equipped shared kitchen. Good bathrooms, very clean and worked very well. Loads to do around.

AustraliaOnly cos I'm old, the stairs were a challenge with a rail only one one side. It's not a complaint, just a comment for others who may find stairs challenging.
Can't beat this location it's on the esplanade in the centre of town. Beds were great really comfortable. Breakfast was a bonus. The bathroom for women was just down the hall on L2 it was never unavailable and always clean with plenty of toilet paper and hand towels. We slept like logs. Parking was easy after about 6:30pm we could get a park right out front. The rooms were very clean and nicely furnished.

United KingdomWe were lucky with being on the first floor - a toilet not too far away and we were each only 1 set of stairs from a shower. Neither of us had to queue for a shower but if you were a big single sex group, the bathroom facilities may be tricky. Would’ve been good to have a mirror in the room.
Great location in middle of Tobermory. It has good bicycle storage and I was able to charge my e-bike. The room was comfortable and had great views. Our expectations were fairly low but we were pleasantly surprised and the hostel more than met our needs.
