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...).

United KingdomRoom was tired. A lick of paint on the window side, replace the chipped headboard and minor infill on the bath. It would take very little money to bring it up from good to excellent
Staff were excellent. Food was generally very good. Black pudding at breakfast was not up to Stornoway standard bur otherwise ok.

United KingdomI don't think the carpet in the room was hoovered properly also for being a 4 star hotel not providing a pair of paper slippers is not acceptable. Quality of the soap and shampoo OK but not great.
I liked the location and the view.

United KingdomThe service in the Jameson bar was quite slow - we waited over an hour on the 1st night for any food, 30mins wait to have our drinks order taken also. There was also very little opportunity to just go and sit without having a booking.
Staff in reception were very accommodating, adding a night to our stay with little fuss. Also the staff in the restaurant with the view were extremely helpful. The rooms were spacious and comfortable also - mostly with great views.

IrelandOnly negative was our room number 106, I booked a Seaview but I got a ground floor room so was mostly a view of a grassy hill, was also quiet noisy late at night with the restaurant being above us, then early the next morning lots of people passing the room woke us, as we were next to the elevators and Spa
Beautiful hotel on a stunning location. All of the staff were so polite and helpful, especially the lovely concierge Brian! Will definitely return to stay during the summer and make use of the beach and try the Seaview restaurant

CanadaThe staff working in the bar were inattentive. There were only a few tables full yet we had to wait for someone to acknowledge our presence as we sat up at the bar ready to order. Not a huge issue but definitely a customer service no no in my book. Room 208 has a rip in the curtains at the floor. The shampoo and body wash dispenser in the shower don’t pump very well. A little frustrating trying to get enough in your hand. I encourage the manager to give it a try to see for yourself.
Seaside location is lovely! Sea view room provided a truly spectacular view. Plenty of free parking. Front desk staff were very professional and welcoming.
