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.).

IrelandOnly place I didn't enjoy was meal in Percy French Overpriced and complained about the very bland fish chowder. It needed seasoning,a thicker soup maybe add cream NOT a big dollop of olive oil floating on top Bread bun had been heated and this made it soggy Staff said oh sorry we will take notes of that. 3 starters,1 main( salmon and potatoes NO veg £25) a cola and wine £90.Wgereas we went to Villi Vici in town 2 starters,2 mains 3 glasses of wine £69.All lovely
Location - Stunning.King size suite- wonderful.Bath so comfortable.Carpetvso soft to walk on.Greatvto have the living room part add to the enjoyment of the room So many areas to relax in the hotel and enjoy the view. Residence nice and quiet so very relaxing Staff friendly Breakfast- well it had everything. Lovely to walk along the seafront .early in the morning and grab a coffee and muffin to go Then later come back for full breakfast. We also had a relaxing after dinner cocktail in the wolf bar Another afternoon had drinks in the lighthouse. Great to have so many places to enjoy within the hotel Location super for visits to Seaforde and Monalto gardens. We need to comeback as more places to explore in the area

United KingdomWater pressure in the bathroom wasn't great, to add to this, the TV signal was shocking so couldn't watch anything without turning itself off. Previous occupants had splattered tea stains all in the bathroom by the bin - missed by maid service. Water not replenished so we were left dreadfully thirsty, this was also missed by the maid service. Not really what you expect when you are paying £400.00 a night. Not sure 2 single G&T's should have been £42.00, either, that was really shocking for us and needless to say, didn't go back to the hotel bar after that!
Stunning location, beautiful grounds. Excellent breakfast which exceeded expectations. Comfort level was superior. Exceptionally friendly staff.

United KingdomI've always wanted to stay at the Slieve and it exceeded expectations. I was taking my wife to Ireland for the first time, so wanted to make it special. The Slieve didn't disappoint. Great location. Rooms and staff were amazing. The bar had a great vibe for a nightcap with a guy playing the guitar.
