Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

IrelandI can understand why this property was already rated very high. When I walked in the house and my room it appeared to be better than some ( star hotels I’ve stayed in. Everything you would want for a short or long stay. Comfortable large room. Warm and very comfortable bed. Tea/coffee making facilities. Impeccable neatness and decor. Great en-suite with good shower and white soft towels. I can’t think of anything negative to say. Just superb.

The decor, the ambience, the comfort, the peace & quiet and above all the very kind & helpful hosts Tom & Ger. I felt safe and like i was at home. The b&b is very tastefully decorated and feels grand but cosy and not pretentious. Its also 5 mins drive from the centre. The hosts are so kind & we had lovely chats. They offered fresh water bottles daily and even offered to provide warm plates when i ordered a take away for myself & my nephew who visited me. Thats so considerate! I was v touched. I will definitely come back and highly reccomend it for old world traditional hospitality with all mod cons. Being a south Asian i often encounter snooty behaviour from people in some parts of Europe but here I was treated fairly and welcomed like any other guest (same as in my home in London) . The hosts understand diversity v well. I appreciate that the most. Thank you

AustraliaAvlon House is a modern purpose built B & B that is spacious and tastefully decorated throughout to make for a very comfortable stay. Tom and his team do a great job in looking after their guests and we certainly left with a view that this was one of the best B & B's we'd stayed in during our three week stay in Ireland. Tom also gave us some great tips on various gardens to visit while we sere staying in Carlow

IrelandI booked Avalon B&B for my Mother and to say she loved her time there would be an understatement! Absolutely exceptional service, the rooms are decorated to make it feel like home away from home and the breakfast was outstanding. I will be recommending Avalon to all of my family and friends who are looking for accommodation in Carlow. Thank you for going above and beyond.
