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.).

AustraliaNothing. Everything was great.
The hosts Heather and Adam were so friendly and helpful, giving us great advice on things to do and see in the area. Nothing was too much trouble. It was quiet and peaceful by the river. The rooms are very comfortable with great views of the river. The chocolate was appreciated, and Heather also served a wonderful breakfast, including homemade jams and honey.

United StatesThe location, while beautiful and secluded, is a bit of a drive from things (20 minutes from Kinsale). WiFi was a little spotty in our room.
Beautiful location by a river. Property is beautiful with a large sitting area in the garden, vegetable garden and pond. Room looked to the river. Nice shared living room to relax. Good breakfast. The room itself was comfortable and quiet. Heather, the host, was very nice, friendly and helpful. Felt like you were staying at someone's home rather than a hotel or even a standard B&B (there are only two rooms for rent).

AustraliaEverything was perfect.
From the moment we arrived we felt we were in heaven. We received a warm and helpful welcome from Heather and Adam. The house and it’s location are beautiful. The garden is gorgeous and is home to Adam’s bees, which provide yummy honey for breakfast, the hens Barbara and Margot gave us delicious eggs and the vegetable garden provided sweet tomatoes which Heather cooked to perfection. Homemade jams were delicious on our toast. The linen is high quality and everything at Riverbank House exceeds expectations. Do yourself a favour and stay more than one night.
