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 KingdomAt this price point I would expect a room with some nice furniture. It was a large room but very bare, there was only one small vanity table to place our belongings, no drawers and no wardrobe only a rail in a recess of the room, it felt more budget than luxury. The bathroom was very dated and dusty. Again there were no surfaces to store our toiletries. I would expect some soap shampoo and conditioner at the least to be stocked in the bathroom. Instead there was a used communal bottle of generic shower gel. This was a little disappointing as was the shower curtain, most good hotels have a shower screen now, it is much more hygienic. Finally, the towels were small and threadbare again not what I would expect at this price point. These are my personal opinions regarding how this room could be uplifted because this is a beautiful hotel with gorgeous views. Just a few tweaks!
Great location, beautiful building. All staff were very friendly. Breakfast was excellent. The room was large with a beautiful view of the river and race course. The bed was large and very comfortable with high quality bed linens.

IrelandDuring my stay, the fire alarm woke me during the night. It stopped after about 10 or 15 seconds, but I was shaken by it and found it hard to get back to sleep afterwards. There was no apology to guests from the hotel management for the false alarm.
I enjoyed the breakfast. It was what I expected, having stayed here before. I like the view of the river from the breakfast room.

IrelandIt is a beautiful heritage old style building. Big old style windows in the rooms. But the windows were not clean . Such a pity and also a challenge but as they are a feature hotel needs to figure out how to rise to it.
Didn't have breakfast as slept. But had a meal night before and it was excellent. I was attending a funeral and the hotel catered an evening meal for the mourners. Good choice in menu. service was excellent and the food was excellent.
