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 StatesEverything was great!
A beautifully decorated and well-maintained stately home on a quiet street corner with easy access to the bus and a short walk to Glasnevin Cemetery and the Botanic Garden. Jack and his lovely wife go above and beyond to create a wonderful stay and constantly think about ways to improve the guest experience under Teddy’s adoring watch. Hospitality is in Jack’s blood! If you appreciate specialty coffee, silver serving dishes, daily room service and ironed sheets, this is your place. The attic room was perfect for a single petite traveler. Other rooms seemed spacious and well lit. Highly recommend and excited to return.

SpainAvoca house is a beautiful and comfortable B&B. It is close to the centre, to which you can get by bus or on foot. Our stay was made really special by Jack, the owner, who is a welcoming person and really puts his heart into making his guests as comfortable as possible. The bedrooms are spotless clean, quiet and the beds are amazingly comfortable. We'll definitely go back if we travel to Dublin again.

CanadaRoom very small and very hot...no ventilation but expect all other rooms would be better for certain. Advice would be to avoid small loft bedroom with skylight on upper floor and book for one night maximum in this room.
Amazing Jack host most welcoming and attentive. Lovely safe Dublin residential community and best suited to car access as one hour walking to Dublin proper. Beautiful zen deck with umbrella for enjoyment is a bonus. Continental self service breakfast choices, especially high grade organic coffee and expresso machine best B and B choices and best dining room in 🇮🇪
