Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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):
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...).

CanadaAs a BnB type property, there were no shampoos and body wash. Perhaps this is one area they can look into in improving.
Location was excellent. Staff were friendly especially Michelle (front desk) ,...she was great in providing recommendation on restaurant(s). Room was clean.

United KingdomWould of been nice to have a bottle of water in the room . Also only a minor thing the bathroom was tiny and the bedroom was large - could have given a bit more room in the bathroom . Also was a drain smell once we had used the shower but it didn’t bother us too much .
We only stayed overnight so didn’t get chance to eat in the restaurant . The room was spacious and the bed was very comfortable .

United KingdomStayed at the Gateway as we were attending a wedding near by. We literally only slept in the room as we arrived back late at night and left first thing next day. The room was perfect for this. It’s not luxurious but it’s functional. The best part was the breakfast- it was amazing. Would definitely stay again

NetherlandsA few minutes walk from the old centre of charming Donegal town, this mid-size hotel was very comfortable and clean. Loads of parking on-site, good WiFi and a large comfy bed made this a very pleasant stay. The breakfast (paid separately) was great, served by enthusiastic staff it was well-worth the extra.

IrelandYou can hear people in rooms beside and above you a bit easily. A little soundproofing would go a long way :-)
Arrived late, but night porter Pat was waiting up for me, and was a gentleman. Had a great chat. Done in an american motel style with a courtyard with rooms opening directly to the outside. Very novel, and actually quite enjoyed it. Had breakfast in Blás next door in the morning. Very nice breakfast.
