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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

United KingdomThe stairs were a bit steep, so you need to be careful with young children.
It was very clean, feel so much bigger inside than it looks from the outside. The lady that owns the house is very nice and very welcoming. It had everything we needed and more. The kitchen had everything you would need. It was only 5 minutes drive from the town. Felt just like a home from home.

United KingdomWe had a wonderful stay in this cottage (4 adults and 2 kids). Very well managed with very minute things taken care of. Owner provided almost all required things like aluminium foil, tea, coffee, milk, sugar, cereals for kids etc and a bottle of wine too :) They even kept all kind of waste bags, dishwasher tablets, washing liquid and sponge which was quiet handy. Owner was available everytime when we needed assistance. We stayed there for Easter weekend so they kept Easter eggs for my kids which was really a nice gesture. There was utility room as well which we didn't use but my kids and husband made full use of games and toys room, they absolutely loved it. This property is just 30 minutes drive from Belfast city airport. Overall 5 stars for location, cleanliness and facilities. I would recommend this property to anyone.

IrelandI would though find very worrying is the amount of flags pertaining to demographics. It can be unnerving, but the local population that we have encountered have been excellent and have advised us accordingly.
Ann, the host, was very attentive, accommodating and sought to all our requests. The accommodation is exactly what was advertised and more. We have used many accomodations around Northern Ireland on different occasions and we collectively believe this to be the best so far. For someone like me, who would take a lot to satisfy, I would, without a doubt, recommend highly to both my friends and tourists alike. Excellent for families too. The local people that we have encountered have been a pleasure too...
