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.).

IrelandIn the evening, we went for a drink at the bar. There was 1 barman. We were waiting nearly 30 minutes for our drinks as it was table service. Other people complained to the waiters, some people left. The staff were very nice but 1 barman is not sufficient.
The views and food were gorgeous. The hotel over looks the lake with seating next to it to enjoy

United KingdomQuite expensive for the amenities, you’re really paying for the view. The spa facilities are separate to the pool and jacuzzi, which is quite odd. The views from the non-lakeside rooms are horrible (car park and a roof)
Views are incredible (if you get the right room, otherwise they are awful). Dining is brilliant at all venues on site, but you must book in advance for busy times. Parking is easy and includes EV chargers.

I upgraded to a lake view which made the break so special. The view was out of this world because the weather was excellent. The comfort of the hotel room was superb. It was so relaxing. Just what we needed.

IrelandStaff in the hotel could not have been nicer. Attention to detail was outstanding, and service in the restaurant was amazing. The maitre'd' look after our dinner service. He could not have been more professional, and his attention to detail, even all our questions, out did other 5 star hotels I've stayed in. Thank you for making our stay so special.

United StatesThe food there was probably the worst food we had on our whole trip. The room was upgraded with certain amenities but seemed to be stuck in the early 2000s with thick silver mirrors and wall mount lighting around the bathtub. There was also a lot of stains on our carpet since it was white
The view was amazing and bed was nice

Our room had lovely views out onto the lake. The room was fabulous, although a little too warm throughout the night. The hotel had a private taxi service and dropped guests into town which i thought was a nice addition to our stay

IrelandThe pool area could do with some updating. I think it was a little overpriced for what was offered. The dinner/bar area was ok but the more expensive resteraunt seemed to be closed so the couple who were eating with that menu were in the bar restaurant with a white sheet on their table to differentiate between the tables. I wouldn’t be too happy with that if I was paying those prices.
The staff were extremely nice. Really great service. The rooms were clean, spacious and comfortable. The views are also gorgeous.
