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.).

AustraliaWe loved everything about Kilcatten and would stay there again in a heartbeat!
We loved everything about this property. It was beautifully maintained in a picturesque country landscape, so close to so many gorgeous little towns. it was so quiet and the gardens were beautiful. The dogs and chickens were gorgeous! There are not too many rooms so you feel a real sense of privacy without being isolated. Our room was spotlessly clean and extremely comfortable. The beds were so comfortable and the shower was just lovely. We had everything we needed in our room and tea and coffee facilities just downstairs available at any time. The room was spacious and secure - lockable. Fresh air coming in off the Irish hills through the windows! Just delightful. Noreen was an absolute gem. She was so kind and friendly and gave us the best tips for seeing the local area. She was so flexible with our check in and so very welcoming. The perfect host. And this is the best breakfast we have had in Ireland - so generous and you want for nothing. Great coffee and the homemade bread was to die for! We wish we could have stayed at Kilcatten for the entire holiday - it’s the sort of place that feels like home but feels luxurious and like you’re being well looked after at the same time. No complaints. Best B&B we have ever stayed in.

United KingdomI cannot even think of anything that could improve. We were next to the breakfast room so we could make hot drinks etc. so no suggestions on that.
Super breakfast loads of choice. First class “proper” coffee. A kitchen area in case we needed to put together sandwiches etc.

United StatesOh, my goodness. On a scale of 1-10, this is a 50. The grounds were stunning (thanks for your hard work, Joe). The room was immaculately clean and the breakfast was delicious (thanks, Noreen). As a former B&B owner, I know how hard it is to make things look effortless. This couple succeeds and then some. I cannot rate it more highly.

FranceThe owner went out of her way to organize a table for 6 for us at a local restaurant. Car parking was really easy. The garden was very pretty with various seating for summer use. The two dogs were friendly and well-behaved. The shower was hot and strong. The bedroom was spacious and very comfortable. Breakfast was good for the omnivores, less so for the vegan. If booking again, we would make specific suggestions to the owner for the vegan breakfast, as she was very open to ideas.
