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 reviewPanoramic view of Cork. Nice sized well equipped room and public areas and pleasant helpful staff. I find the scent (diffused throughout) overpowering but staff provided a humidifier in room to tone it down. I was very grateful. Really enjoyed the food at the restaurant. Interesting choices, beautifully presented and fine dining delicious.
The strong perfume throughout. But read comments above.

Verified reviewWe got upgraded to a suite that was incredible! LOVED this hotel! It's out of the main city and quiet with incredible views of the city and countryside beyond. Staff couldn't have been more helpful and accommodating. Great food and facilities. Enjoyed sitting on the terrace in the evening with drinks and food and the spectacular city views!

Verified reviewThe one bedroomed apartment was well equipped although a little smaller than expected. Loved the restaurant and the cinema. The location is excellent - out of Cork but walkable into the town. Very good value for money. Staff were very friendly.
There were maintenance issues which were not addressed although we kept asking e.g. the dishwasher leaked all over the floor every time we used it.
Dear Jane, Thank you for choosing our residences at The Montenotte for your recent stay in Cork. I am delighted to hear value for money was a huge positive of your experience and you enjoyed the resort facilities throughout your stay. I’m truly sorry to hear about the leaking dishwasher. I completely understand how frustrating that must have been, particularly when you reported it and it wasn’t resolved promptly. This isn’t the experience we want our guests to have, and I apologize that we fell short in this instance. We really appreciate you bringing this to our attention and hope we’ll have the chance to welcome you back and provide a much smoother experience. Thank you once again, Danielle Bennett Director of Rooms

Verified reviewNice location and view. We could change the room after the first night. The bar and in-house cinema is a nice add on
The air-conditioning doesn't worked the first night and the room had a terrible garden view. I recommend to book the city view. Next time I also would do a direct hotel booking. Might result in better rooms for the same price.
