How guest reviews work
Each review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

Verified reviewGreat communication throughout with a friendly check in that was reassuring and a pint of milk in the fridge that was super-thoughtful. Such a peaceful location with lovely countryside views behind the property. The little house itself was spotlessly clean with really good use made of the space so our overnight stay was really comfortable. What we saw online was exactly what we got. It took away the uncertainty of booking a room in local city hotels which had wildly differing reviews. That mattered as my Mum has mobility issues and the reassurance of knowing exactly where we would be sleeping helped us all to relax into the trip.
Its such a minor thing but a cafetiere to make some coffee in the morning would have been great.
Thanks so much for your lovely review. we are pleased that you liked our place with its countryside views. Regards Mick and Majella.

Verified reviewHosts were very friendly and stopped by after our arrival to say hello. They were very responsive via text when we had questions. Appreciated having the washing machine so we could do a load of laundry. It would have been great if there were directions on how to use the washer though because it is definitely different from what we have in the US! Very clean and recently updated which was nice. Only stayed one night but worked well for my family of 4. Would stay again.
Home is located very close to a road so there was some late night traffice noise. Also master bedroom faces the street so hard to have windows open for air and also have privacy.
hi Donna. thanks for your review, we would love to have you stay with us again. Thanks Mick and Majella.

Verified reviewThe quaintness of the cottage in the rural setting was wonderful! Cows, horses out in the paddocks a beautiful night. Host was accommodating in every way possible.
It’s not a negative by all means but be aware that being rural means rural animal sounds that you potentially may not be use too.
Thank you Ferne for your review.

Verified reviewI had an amazing stay here with my family (2 adults and 2 kids). It is perfect if you are looking for your own space in a picturesque setting just a short drive to Kilkenny town. The cottage was stunning, very clean and had great views. The owner couldn't have been more helpful. Would definitely stay here again!
Thanks Aislin for your lovely review. Regards Mick and Majella.
