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 StatesNot much, maybe a mini fridge would’ve been nice. In retrospect it was a bit of a walk from downtown but not too bad. I knew that when I booked it. We got our steps in!
Very cute, nicely done, comfortable, staff was very friendly and helpful

IrelandLeaving key on counter when leaving. I'd feel better leaving a key in an actual box or container than just loosely on the counter (which is where I think the sign said to leave it)
Room was nice. Shower in the room excellent - great water pressure! Receptionist was friendly and keen to give recommendations.

CanadaThe room was small, difficult to find a place to put 2 suitcases. Our room window faced a main walkway and unless the blinds were closed everyone had full view of our room. Suggest to add some sheers as the only blinds were blackout so either you have no light or full view from passerbyers. The blackout blinds blocked any airflow from outside and it was very warm in the room at night. Small shower.
The room was comfortable, clean and modern and the staff were friendly. We appreciated the provided water and coffee service. It was great that being a townhouse it had a private entrance on the ground level.

IsraelThe room was not a room but a tiny attic with a hatch in the roof instead of a window. They have different photos for single rooms, and most of them look much bigger and nicer. If I opened my suitcase, I couldn't open the toilet door No parking in the yard was available, I had to park in the street, very stressfull
Everything is new and clean, nice staff

United StatesThere was a miscommunication about needing a ground floor room, but the staff were very helpful and cleared that up. This venue didn't provide breakfast, but you can get an excellent one at the Huntsman restaurant down the road.
The family room on the ground floor was lovely.

CanadaImportant to know that some of the rooms are actually outside of the main house and in the lane way at the back. This wouldn’t necessarily be a problem but it was unexpected and considering the price, not ideal. Our room did not have natural light or real windows and the only ventilation was a small window in the bathroom.
Good location! Easy to check in and there was free parking if you could get a spot in time.

United StatesWe were hoping to be in 2 rooms next to each other. The single room with a double bed was very tight on space, so we needed to modify our room. 4 was accommodating, but we were outside of the main building further away from family members in the other room.
The location was excellent as it was very close to Eyre Square and was a short 5 minute walk. The facilities were fine and clean.
