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.).

AustraliaThis beautiful stay had all the essentials plus a portable fan and face washer, rarities in Ireland. The breakfast was so delicious, the perfect start to a day of exploring. Excellent value for money, too. The hosts are lovely people, their kindness and generosity shines in every aspect of the stay.

SwitzerlandYou should bring cash before travelling. There are no atm around but the hosts do tell you in advance to pay in cash so it is kinda our fault.
Great breakfast and the hosts are such a nice couple. They are very attentive and just overall an amazing experience.

United KingdomI had an idea of what to expect when booking into this B&B, but it completely exceeded my expectations. Brendan and Eileen are the most fantastic hosts – they greeted me with such a warm, friendly welcome. Brendan gave me brilliant insight into the island and even advised me on the best places to visit. The B&B itself is so cosy, with gorgeous views. The only negative is that I didn’t have enough time there! I felt so relaxed and at home. I’ll definitely be back. 10 out of 10 – and Brendan and Eileen are the most gorgeous, genuine couple.

United KingdomWe went on a mini road trip visiting different counties and this b&b was by far our favourite stay. Super clean we could not fault a single thing. We arrived earlier than expected and we're greeted with a cup of tea and some treats. The beds were extremely comfortable, shower pressure was amazing (products in showers for us to use also which was great) and best of all the breakfast the next morning was fantastic and delicious we ate every bite. Can't wait to book again next year and bring my family with me.

The room is upstairs, very clean, comfortable and cozy. The view from the window is lovely. The bathroom, however a bit small, is private and has everything needed. There’s a lot of external space for cars or simply to take a breath in the Irish fresh air. The common room where breakfast is served has elegant furniture and many pictures of the love story of the owners (I liked it! I felt part of the family). P.S. breakfast both salty and sweet was WOW!
