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.).

AustraliaGreat peaceful location set among rolling farms with views to the mountains including Croagh Patrick. Comfy and spacious home with everything we needed for our three nights stay. Kitchen was well equipped for cooking meals in. Large yard and car parking space as well as private outdoor seating area. Hosts live on the property too, but places felt very separate and private. Hosts were responsive and helpful. Check in and out were easy. Breakfast supplies were appreciated. Would recommend.

Everything. The house was spotless and comfortable and had everything we could need. Majella welcomed us & made sure we knew she was around if we needed anything (which we didn’t because everything was covered). When she said breakfast would be in we expected maybe cereal, milk, a few tea bags. But there was the making of a full Irish in the fridge! Location was perfect for Castlebar & Westport and we had the perfect base to come back & relax in after climbing Croagh Patrick. We will definitely be back.

CanadaThe step up leading to the bedrooms was a safety hazard when going back and using the bathroom at night, although appreciated the extra night lighting and handrails to help prevent missing this step but still need to be aware of it. Most of everyone in our family missed this step but luckily didn’t fall to the ground, yikes!
Spacious and with everything you would possibly need. Wish we could have stayed for a week. Best accommodation on our trip so far!!!

IrelandThe place was spotless. The host was highly accommodating. House had everything you could possibly need. For a family with two young kids, it was a home away from home. The two sitting rooms and two TVs were great, as was the stove. Netflix app on the smart TV, so I was able to sign in on my own account. The lads loved the DVD novelty. Nice firm bed. Bedrooms adjacent to echother. Very quiet with lovely views of Croack Patrick and Nephin. Will stay again.

It’s in a quiet area and the air was so fresh. The fireplace makes it very cozy. Majella was very sweet. She left us some bacon, eggs, sausages and milk in the fridge and we had them for breakfast. We also cooked some seafood for dinner as all the essential things were there.
