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.).

AustraliaWater pressure wasn’t good and the bed was very hard and not comfortable and I like a firm bed. There was a broken lamp in the desk which was surprising in a hotel like this.
This hotel is an entertainment hub with restaurant and bars. They have weddings here. The facilities are really beautiful and there are places to eat all around. Car parking is behind the hotel and is secure. Room was a Garden Room in separate building which was charming and a good size and had an iron and board. Short stroll to the centre.

United KingdomWater pressure in the shower is weak. This is really the only bit that I didn't like. But I do love a strong shower, hence only 9 out of 10.
Very nice room, very spacious too. The bed is huge. Private parking just behind the hotel. We spent the night here on a road trip, the location is perfect.

United StatesWhile we were hoping for the opportunity for an early check-in, we made the most of our time touring around Kilkenny.
Great recommendations for places around town - since we arrived VERY early (0650), and on bank holiday as well, we had breakfast at Tower and Castle the first morning. Wonderful time around Kilkenny. Wonderful breakfast at Langton's on our departure morning.

United KingdomUnfortunately we arrived as a large wedding party was taking place, which seemed to have spread throughout the hotel. We had to pull our cases through the wedding guests to get to our room. It was only the following morning at check out that we could appreciate how lovely the many parts of the hotel were.
The location was good, didn’t eat there

IrelandThe girl with the pink hair at breakfast. To say she is rude is an understatement. She has no manners and talks over you before you finish talking. Then she was cleaning the table beside us and sprayed the cleaning spray all up my arm and on my top and I didnt get any apology, she just looked at me for a few seconds while I was wiping it off and then wiped the table and walked away. It was such a good stay but she honestly ruined our morning.
The room was beautiful and most of the staff were lovely.
