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.).

Staff helped me out with a surprise in the room on arrival. Nice room, great location, top notch breakfast. Plenty of parking. Very expensive but the arts festival is on and it's the height of summer (not that you'd know from looking outside)

United StatesBathtub/shower very narrow, can barely turn around, like standing in a canoe. Shower curtain sticks to you while showering. Eggs on breakfast buffet are rubber. Bacon over cooked. Would expect a fresh cooked breakfast for the price. Better breakfast down the road at Coco Cafe. Check-in at 2pm instead of 4pm would be much appreciated.
They do a fabulous job with wedding parties and receptions. Staff in every area are excellent.

IrelandFound it difficult to understand that it Wasn’t possible to get a baked potato rather than fries We ordered a bottle white wine on 2 occasions and it was Luke warm ended up drinking it with ice which isn’t ideal Also we were awoken by drilling and hammering at 8am on our first morning- when I checked at front desk they informed me they were refurbishing and offered to move us - we declined as we were leaving the next day - I struggle to understand why we were assigned the room first day when they had an option
In general all was good

United KingdomDining room very big and felt a bit like holiday camp. Would have been nicer if maybe sections partitioned off to make smaller areas. Food not as good as would have expected. Fairground next door wasn’t in keeping with whole area.
Nice hotel but very big and did seem a little bit impersonal. Lots of facilities and pleasant staff.

United Statesa lot of the downstairs was under construction. We were not told in advance that there would be only a restaurant a cafe option for dining. It was disappointing to not be able to access the library or other spaces for relaxation & casual socialization. The gym & pool were a little underwhelming, but very clean and well maintained.
Excellent breakfast, room service, and location. Great value all around for the price - food, service, ambience, location. Great seaside location. Would definitely come back here again! Staff were very friendly, helpful, and went out of their way to answer questions and provide great service.

United StatesNo A/C meant open windows until the room darkening shades needed to be closed for the night. The room fan we requested helped, but it was still stuffy. No wall USB ports, so we had to share our limited supply of plug converters for the 5 of us.
Beautiful location at Salthill Beach, easy 30 minute walk to Latin Quarter for our dinner. Comfortable beds, large clean bathrooms with toiletries provided, good breakfast buffet, daily free activities (like wine and whiskey tastings). Front desk staff friendly. Early checkout room service breakfast and help with room issues (bringing a fan, TV glitch) pleasantly quick and helpful. Plenty of free parking.

United KingdomThe location was very pleasant, right on the sea front where you can walk for miles. Staff were all great. Car parking is below the hotel as well as at the back where the entrance is. There was plenty of space throughout the hotel, restaurant, bar and reception included. We had a good meal in the restaurant and there was live music in the bar afterwards. We enjoyed breakfast in bed and a leisurely check out.

United StatesI did not like having a room that faced right out to the hotel entrance. Couldn’t open my window with smokers outside. And that view is not appealing. Also, the rooms need more usb outlets.
The waitstaff was lovely. The checkin staff saved my husbands life by loaning him some USB adaptors. Everyone was super friendly.
