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.).

United KingdomBreakfast was very disappointing for €17 per head, dry mini pastries, like warm bacon and scrambled eggs and a few bits of meat. Better off saving your money on that and going to a local place instead.
Location was good, great facilities, nice room and balcony? Very clean.

United KingdomSome of the physical aspects of the room (lock box, decoration) were starting to feel a bit tired and in need of a refresh.
Lovely place to stay on the island. Close to the coast (although note the nearby beach is not really a sandy beach for swimming). Lots of family-friendly and convenient facilities on site, e.g., bike rental. Friendly staff.

IrelandWe couldn't find the shop on site but I think it closed very early so we never availed of that. The service in the restaurant was extremely slow, we tried to eat there one night and ended up leaving as we were still waiting on a menu and a drink after 30 mins. Would still recommend the hotel though despite this
We stayed in the hotel part and had a beautiful 2 bed apartment which was spotless and very comfortable. Pool was gorgeous and kids loved it.

SwedenOutdoor seating area in our hotel room was really bad. No table and only 2 chairs. No plants, and no view. No hooks or clothing lines to hang our towels after a day at the beach. Even though we stayed at the hotel it was shared with the camping and that seemed like the majority of the property. The cleaners did not change our glasses (minor issue though) The closest beach was not swimmable with huge waves at high tide and big rocks. Very wild and lots of seaweed.
Beautiful facilities, great Ac, comfy beds, good amounts of bathrooms, nice pool area, lots of things to do on the property like pool, table tennis, volleyball, tennis etc Good bike rental on sight, good market to buy baked goods in the morning, snack bar had good pizza (even though the opening hours were inflexible)

United KingdomUnderstaffed - dinner service was very slow, ran out of plates during breakfast and when I asked for some, the waitress gave me an eye roll. Housekeeping in the hotel was also limited. Constant issues with getting keys to open hotel door. For the price per night, did not feel like good value.
Great location, comfortable room with good terrace. Good facilities including tennis court, pool and easy beach access.

United KingdomLack of working air conditioning which property knew about and failed to notify guests about in advance, which showed poor regard for paying guests. That said, and after some insistence on our side, the hotel managed to move us to a better room (still no aircon) and provide a gesture on compensation. It is a pity as I would otherwise rate this very highly but the lack of actual care was very off putting.
Well appointed site, well decorated and provides a perfect base to explore the Island

PeruIt was confortable. The people were so nice. Only thing is that I booked the place thinking it had a restaurant and a pool and they didn’t because of the season. They should point that out in their announcement because if not it’s like selling something that they don’t have. Apart from that, everything in the room was nice. About the food of the menu, I thought it would be fresh food but everything is precooked.

United KingdomThe lack of communication from the hotel regarding the closure of the restaurant & bar. Considering how remote the place was the restaurant & bar needed to accommodate the guests staying at the resort. This it failed at miserably. Barely open and provided the same menu for lunch & dinner which was very odd or just lazy!
Our duplex accommodation was great as was the pool..

United KingdomThe pool area is being refurbished and not ready for use ..lots of work going on around that area. We used the restaurant for our evening meal and were really disappointed, the waiter was helpful but the food was not good. It felt like it had all been reheated , previously cooked ? so very dry , fish overcooked & the potatoes were raw inside. We did complain and apologies were given & our aperitif was free .
Spacious room , very clean, large comfy bed and a patio to sit outside . The hotel staff were really helpful . This hotel is part of a bigger complex with self catering chalets & camping . About a 10 minute walk to the beach .

IrelandBecause the resort is a distance from town it's not easy to get to a cafe or bakery. Food onsite wasn't great in terms of choice and healthy food not frozen pizzas, shop could be bigger and offer a wider choice. Cafe onsite for simple sit down fresh food/drink, the breakfast wasn't great for the price, just a coffee machine and no porridge or better choice of fresh fruit.
The pool, the family room, the staff and bike rental were all good. Lots of space and some good facitlities.
