How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewBreakfast was not provided. I loved Gerry's friendliness and his eagerness to please.
It would have been great to have hot water in the house... I understand there was a plumbing problem, but we should have been notified prior to our arrival.

Verified reviewBeds were super comfortable. Host was really nice and helpful, he offered us a lift to town or calling a cab. Location was calm.
Before our arrival, host texted me that booking has a pricing error and I have to pay more than I already did. I called booking, they promised to help in 3 hours which didn't happen. Host then texted that we dont have to pay extra (I paid 189€ for two rooms and host wanted 220€ for each room). I think the original price was enough due to the room condition - unfinished floor and bathroom with no shower. After all, it was OK for our needs and host tried his best to help us. It is necessary for the host to adjust the prices to avoid similar situations. I believe the place will offer a pleasant experience when finished!

After paying for the room upfront how can a host make demands for an extra €60 to be able to stay just because there are 3 big events on close by. It took 3 1/2 hours and numerous phone calls to booking.com and Gerry to finally get this sorted.

Verified reviewBooking.com let us down dramatically, but the host turned the situation around and made our stay enjoyable and comfortable he could do enough for us. He has on going remedial, upgrading work but that didn't affect us, we'll be going back.
Booking.com gave the wrong address stating Clarecastle, sending us on a wild goose chase which cost us a small fortune a journey that should have taken about 10 minutes took us over 1 hour. On arrival at the guest house our host stated he hadn't a room for us as Booking.com had over booked , but put a room together for us. Disappointed with Booking.com.

The place was unfinished. It was like a building site. There were workmen in. The kitchen was in pieces and unusable. Then to make a bad situation worse, Gerry told us that booking.com had made an error and the room should have cost 220 Euro (not 99 as we had paid) but he was only going to charge us an extra 50 euro. If we didn't give him the extra 50 euro cash then we couldn't stay. Totally against booking.com policy and extortion. He knew we wouldn't be able to get anywhere else that night. We drove home and got booking.com to refund us.
