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.).

IrelandA stunning location overlooking the ocean with a luxury contemporary feel, all wrapped up with a wholesome family welcome. The food was top class, especially when you could walk and visit their herb, fruit, veg and flower garden the following morning and see where so much of the produce came from. As a seasoned traveller this hotel is a new top 5 in Ireland on my list. They even posted my my charger which I left behind the following day (free of charge !) You can’t beat a Irish family run business.

United KingdomNetflix and other internet services didn’t work on the TV, did report it but they couldn’t fix it, not a big deal but worth mentioning. Cosmopolitan cocktail not the best, just needs some bar staff training I think
Two night stay, Fantastic location, wonderful views, friendly staff. Very dog friendly, able to eat in the bar area for breakfast and dinner with our dog. Plenty of parking right outside. Excellent large choice buffet and served breakfast. Nice bar menu and food

United StatesWe were looking for a remote, but not too remote, location. And we found it in Dunmore House. The beach walks and trails are perfect, or just sitting by to watch the tides. The host was beyond anyone's expectation, especially for a hotel this size. The in-house restaurant serves some of the best meals we had in Ireland, most were fresh from their gardens on site. Spend a night, spend a week, you'll be rejuvenated in more ways than you can count.

IrelandThe hotel is located in a beautiful spot overlooking the sea. We stayed for two nights as a group of 9 for my friends hen weekend, everyone in the Dunmore House Hotel was so welcoming and accommodating. The weather was fabulous, we were able to walk to the nearby beach for a sea swim in the morning, and had a fabulous lunch on the terrace in the sun - the team at the hotel was amazing and provided some complimentary bubbles for the whole group. The rooms are beautiful - spacious and modern. We had a gorgeous ocean view from our room. Would highly recommend the Dunmore House Hotel!

Dunmore House Hotel was superb - I can't rate it highly enough. The owners have paid incredible attention to detail and it's clear that their customers are front and centre of everything they do. The location is superb - the hotel is comfortable and decorated with excellent taste - from the art on the walls, the beautiful garden flower arrangements, the armchair and blanket in the rooms, the pristine white paintwork, the Voya toiletries. the beautifully simple white china at breakfast, the chilled water from their own spring, thick towels, comfortable robes, the organic gardens, breath-taking views and of course the amazing breakfast ... the leaping dolphins in the bay were pretty impressive too!

United KingdomAlways difficult to know what to put here since we enjoyed our entire stay. Areas where we thought could possibly be improved were: - we personally found the hotel just a little too warm, but we understand that other guests might think otherwise. - we would have preferred a better choice of juice at breakfast, and it should be help-yourself rather than having just one glass provided by the waitress. - We felt that staff could have been better informed on things to do and see locally.
Hotel is located directly on the coast, located adjacent to a beautiful sandy bay. Our room had superb views along the coast and out towards the ocean. Our room and much of the hotel had clearly just been decorated so everything seemed fresh, clean and new. Breakfasts and evening meals were very good, with a good choice and very attentive staff. Staff were very helpful and friendly.
