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.).

IrelandIt's a great apartment in a very convenient location to Doolin with beautiful views of the Cliffs of Moher. We particularly loved the outdoor room, what a wonderful addition! Joan was a very warm and friendly host. Highly recommend this accommodation. It was perfect for the 6 of us, all adults. Lots of options for running, walking and hiking from the front door too.

It was very spacious, clean, and perfectly appointed inside! We loved being able to take a short walk into town to ample pubs, sites (especially the Cliffs of Moher and Doolin caves). Having coffee, tea, sugar, and bread and butter and jelly was a nice touch! The horses and donkey were fun to watch.

United StatesNothing. All was perfect.
Quiet, relaxing country location with adorable horses on the property.. There’s also a detached patio type structure that’s perfect for eating breakfast or drinking coffee in the morning while taking in the countryside sights. The apartment was comfortable and spacious. They provided some breakfast food basics and coffee, sugar, etc. Very much appreciated! The apartment actually had a dryer (and a washer of course). In Europe, it’s rare to find a dryer. We loved having that convenience. The friendly owner greeted us and gave us tips for seeing the Cliffs, Doolin restaurants and other points of interest nearby. We loved our stay here.

United StatesWe were happy with every aspect of our stay at Doolin Heights
The setting for this lovely home is truly exquisite! When we first arrived we were thrilled to see a direct view of the Cliffs of Moher, a beautiful rolling pasture with a mare and young foal on the property, and the charming town of Doolin only a 3 min drive away. The owners live next door and were there to greet us, gave us a tour of the property, and stocked the kitchen with fresh milk, bread and eggs…a lovely bonus. The house was much larger than it appeared in photos, and extremely comfortable for our short stay of only 2 days. We would love to return to Doolin Heights and stay longer next time.

United StatesThis was our favorite place to stay during our Ireland vacation - we could have easily spent a week. The pictures don't do it justice. There's so much to drive to and explore in the area - Cliffs of Moher, Aran Islands, all around the Burren. It was spacious and comfortable, incredible views, and so peaceful. The walk to town intimidated us in the dark, but the host showed us where to park right next to the main road, so we did the little 3 minute drive each night. The bars have music around 9-11pm each night, full of tourists and local music and a great time. Joan was so kind, allowing us to arrive late, and her son even drove us into town the first night. This was exactly the charming Irish experience we were looking for!

The host provided breakfast supplies (eggs, bread, milk, juice, coffee, tea) but we did not have time to use them. The location was great for easy access to our activities - Cliffs of Moher and Aran Island ferry / day trip. We enjoyed the nights at local pubs close by.
