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):
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.).

SpainI had a wonderful stay at Cottage Heights B&B in Castletownbere. The room was spotless, cozy, and very comfortable. Breakfast was excellent, with great quality and plenty of choice. The host was warm and welcoming, always ready with helpful tips about the area. The location is perfect, with beautiful views and just a short walk from the town. I would definitely stay here again

I couldn't have had a better stay. I had a warm and friendly welcome from Mary. She was very helpful and knowledgeable with the town and travel information that I needed. This is a great location for travelling around this area of the world. Top notch accommodation. Breakfast was 5☆, with more than enough options of choice. This is a feel of a homely b&b at a reasonable price. 10/10

United KingdomThere was absolutely nothing I didn’t like. My only complaint is that I couldn’t stay longer
I loved everything about my stay. The location was ideal, the room was spotless and comfortable, and breakfast was absolutely delicious. But what really stood out was our host, she goes above and beyond for her guests in a way that you just don’t see often anymore. From making sure everyone was safe to helping with onward travel plans and even arranging accommodation for those in need, her genuine care, humour, and hard work made the stay unforgettable.

IrelandWe had the most wonderful stay at this traditional Irish Cottage Heights bed and breakfast. From the moment we arrived, we felt completely welcomed by Mary, the owner and manager, and her fantastic team. They were warm, attentive, and made us feel right at home. The bedrooms were immaculately clean, bright, and very comfortable. Every detail was thoughtfully taken care of, which made our stay so relaxing. Breakfast was outstanding, with a wide range of delicious options to suit everyone — the perfect start to our day. The location is truly breathtaking, with panoramic views of Bear Island and Castletownbere Bay that made our stay unforgettable. This bed and breakfast is a gem. Between the warm hospitality, spotless rooms, excellent food, and stunning views, it deserves more than five stars — a full ten stars from us. We would highly recommend it and cannot wait to return!
