How guest reviews work
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 use a weighted review system which means that 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. 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, 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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

The room was too hot. The air conditioning didn’t work so it was a very uncomfortable sleep. The fridge wasn’t plugged in so the bottle of water was warm.
Breakfast was good. Plenty of options. Surroundings are beautiful. Wonderful location.

Breakfast really needs to be better for this price of room. People who pay over 200 euro a night should be given a proper breakfast.
Breakfast was very disappointing. For the price of 1 night I would have expected a cooked breakfast. All they had was cereal, milk was luke warm, toast you made yourself, burnt croissants. And a boiled egg you had to cook yourself. Salami and ham that was taken away before I could get to it as everyone was trying to get to the food in a very confined space.

messaged them twice regarding early check in, no reply. sleep was broken because of the noise coming from the walls or radiators i dont know!! really annoying during the night. Couldnt connect to the wifi and limited coverage not that really matters but if you wanted to contact someone. Also found walking back to the castle, it was very dark and dangerous and no lights in the courtyard.
location cause of a wedding at the castle

Room was basic. No complimentary shampoo or conditioner. Topped up bottle of tap water in fridge. If you didn't close curtains people could see into room. Room was not cleaned or drinking water not replaced after first night. Breakfast was as advertised pancakes and waffles both products not made on premises but bought locally in supermarket.. highly inflated price for poor quality bed and breakfast.
The accommodation looked great on arrival. The Courtyard was spotless. Plenty of parking.

The breakfast, 300 euro for a night and you eat cereal and fruits and toast you have to make yourself. Very disappointing. We were expecting a nice warm breakfast for the price. No hot water in the shower, very cold. Internet was not working in the room.

Tried for 1:30 check in to attend a wedding . Was told not possible. Yet next day 11:20 staff knocked at my door to ask me to leave. And were very rude and unapologetic in how they spoke. Cleaners rang me at 11:40, said I need to leave - because.... someone else was getting an early check-in. Asked for a 2nd key (stayed with friends to go to a wedding, so needed separate keys) Was told they don't do separate keys. The room sleeps 4, but only 1 key. Continental breakfast

Disapointed in the breakfast, "continental style" but at that a very bad selection of breads and cereals.
Lovely courtyard and great to see the history of the venue. Room was nice spacious and very clean, beds very comfortable.

Lack of Wi Fi and cell reception was frustrating and problematic. Full Irish breakfast was expected. Putting out 3 pieces of smoked salmon when 8 people are in the dining room is awkward.
Beautifully renovated facility.
