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.).

IrelandAbsolutely stunning location. Perfect for playing golf in Tralee. Short drive to Fenit. The accommodation was very special, waking up to the sound of the sea outside our bedroom window. Breakfast overlooking the bay. The breakfast was absolutely beautiful. Freshly cooked full Irish, scones, home made brown bread. Our host Clodagh, chef Alex really made the stay special. The linen in the beds and design of the bedrooms was absolutely beautiful. Couldn't fault it. We hope to be back.

Five star luxury in an idyllic location. The best night’s sleep we had all week. The view was perfect as was Clodagh’s hosting. It was spotlessly clean and additional touches made all the difference.

Just back from the most wonderful stay at Barrow Lodge and I honestly can’t recommend it highly enough. From the moment I arrived, Clodagh and her lovely family made me feel so genuinely welcome — the kind of warmth you don’t often come across. The accommodation was beautiful, the food was absolutely delicious (all homemade and full of love), and the views… truly spectacular. There’s a calm, peaceful atmosphere that makes you instantly feel at home. It’s a very special place in a very special location — the kind of spot that stays with you. I’d go back for the hospitality alone. Already counting the days until my next visit! 💛

IrelandEverything about Barrow Lodge was spot on. Lovely location, exceptionally quiet. The owner, Clodagh, is a perfect host, very friendly and knowledgeable about the local area. The rooms are tastefully furnished to a high standard. The bed is a super king size and extremely comfortable. Tea and coffee making facilities in the room along with TV. Our room had a view overlooking the sea. Lastly, the dining room is beautifully decorated and is very well furnished. The menu suits all tastes and there is a large selection of cereals, yogurts, bread and freshly made cakes and scones. We only stayed one night and we were thoroughly spoilt. Great restaurant just 5 minute walk away in the Tralee Golf Club. Thoroughly recommend and hope to return.

I recommend at least two nights, such a refreshing respite on a trip around Ireland. I'm so glad to have stayed there. Comfortable bed, good shower, incredible views, superb breakfast, perfect host.

Every single thing about Barrow Lodge was exceptional. Our rooms, the breakfast, our hostess, the location...all fabulous. We were absolutely delighted with Clodaugh...she was so friendly and helpful...we felt right at home. We drove about 1/4 of a mile to the Tralee Golf Links (designed by Arnold Palmer) for dinner and loved it! I can't say enough good things about this accommodation.
