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...).

IrelandNot much to say here, everything was great and have no complaints
The house is quite old so you felt like you were immersed in history, the bed was unbelievably comfortable, the room was so warm and cosy. We had plentiful hot water for both of us to have baths. Kamla was so kind and welcoming and we loved chatting with her about the history of the house and the surroundings. Would definitely stay again if in the area.

United KingdomNo coffee making facilities in the room. Drastic!! If I come back I will bring my own makings!!
Quirky guesthouse situated overlooking Middleton, narrow roads in need of some tarmac in places, easy to find on google maps and Kamla had messaged a postcode to use. Old historic looking house, a bit tired but very quirky. Massive room and a heated blanket on the bed. Good wifi 84mbps! Kamla is lovely and friendly and a great host. For a one night trip where I had brought my dinner and wine to save going back out, it was fine. Value for money and loads of character.

CanadaThe house could do with some TLC and the dark stairs could be a problem for some people.
Kamla was a very attentive and gracious host. She provided a very nice, complimentary breakfast of cereal, yoghurt, toast and jams. Communication before and after our stay was excellent. The property is in the country and it is pretty and peaceful. You do need your own transport

IrelandStairs to the rooms will be a challenge for some elderly or mobility challenged folk. It's a dark place at night. No ambient light. It was a long way from my bed to a light switch and 'going to the shared bathroom at night down, then up two wee stairways would pose the same dilemma for folk as mentioned above. You will get more convenience for the same price at a pre-fabbed purpose built B&B. But not the same olde-worlde feel.
Honest review. Ballynona's a lovely old country house now serving as a B&B. The long, tree lined driveway is wonderfully foreboding. Dark and mysterious. Game of Thrones-esque! Plenty of parking (very much off-road) Entering the house is stepping back a century-plus-a-bit but, with electric light and plumbing. Ever-so-slightly tired looking decor but, that only lends to the experience. Lotsa early 19th century stuff going on, augmented by modern day convenience. My room, for my single occupancy, was very spacious. A bit dark. Only two very small sash type windows but they overlooked a garden that would be magnificent with a bit of TLC. My bed was lovely 'n comfy. I slept very, very well. Motorcycle rider friendly. Kamla, a truly lovely lady, manages the property and is a magnificent hostess.
