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.).

The host gave us a choice of start time for breakfast. The breakfast was good and variety. The room was a nice space with lots of windows. Margaret was a great host and very helpful and friendly. We loved the nice touch with a visitors fridge to store our traveling perishables. The room was a good size, comfortable and clean.

United StatesThe bathroom situation was a bit inconvenient. There are no towel racks, and there is simply a shower curtain that separates the shower from the rest of the bathroom that allows the floor to get wet. There is also a fan in the bathroom that turns on when the light is turned on that is very loud.
The hosts were very friendly and helpful. The grounds are very pretty and peaceful.

United StatesWe stayed one night only. The room was clean and had a nice choice of tea bags. We were leaving very early the next morning to catch the sunrise at the Giants Causeway, and the host went above and beyond to ensure we get a hot breakfast before leaving. My stomach appreciated the gesture.

IrelandVery few things could be improved! I think that it would be useful for ppl to know how the heating works and that it’s ok to open your windows wide to cool off - we were roasting the first night because we were afraid to waste heat! But the cool breeze was so refreshing our second night and that was definitely my most comfortable sleep. We were also on a tight budget with pensioner parents so couldn’t afford the £40 for all of us to use the sauna/hot tub for an hour, but I’d love to give it a go on another visit when we have a bit more cash to flash :)
Lovely location out in the country, quiet and peaceful! Loved the little touches like biscuits and coffee in our room with the kettle, the wonderful greeting on arrival by Stuart & recommendation for dinner (Cosh bar was so good we went back again!), and of course the fabulous fry-up for brekkie made by Margaret & John (potato fry bread & rashers were my fav!). Hosts were so wonderful, on our whole trip this was our favourite stay! Everything was considered - beds were perfectly firm & comfortable, and so huge we had to roll around a few times to cuddle! Due to their centralized heating everything was warm, towel racks toasty, and pillows dreamy soft. Water pressure was good and water temp was warm too. Will be delighted to stay here again next time we’re in Derry :) Also the option to use the outdoor sauna/hot tub was a cool one!
