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...).

Everything was amazing. The rooms were so clean and comfy. Is so magic when you wake up in the morning and have the lake, sheeps and donkeys. They serve the breakfast in the time you choose and there is different options to choose from. The bread and scones were handmade. The lady who take care of us was so kind. Incredible!!

United States of AmericaThere was nothing that did not meet our expectations.
Niamh was an attentive and gracious hostess and the breakfasts, cooked to order and at the time we chose, were exceptional. The scenery was beautiful and we were welcome to walk around and enjoy the animals and paths on the Farm. Niamh gave us local tips on where to go and where to find certain things we needed in town, which set us up for a very lovely stay of 4 nights. We will remember the Farmhouse if we are back in this part of the world!

Stunning location. Beautifully decorated old farmhouse. Our room was lovely with gorgeous views. The owner is delightful and she has literally thought of everything to make your stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. There’s a fridge and wine glasses in the room Which is great as the property is remote and too need a car.

United States of AmericaWas miles and miles into a long stretch of winding roads deep into the country, far from attractions I had scheduled. But we managed and the house and view made it very worthwhile.
This booking is absolutely stunning. Out of all the places I’ve stayed in my 5 trips to Ireland, this view might be the very best. Breathtaking! Farm animals, a loop walk to the lake, the Wicklow Mountains…really incredible. The host was lovely and attentive, the house gorgeous, an original Irish cottage completely refurbished so elegantly.
