How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

No soap in the toilet used shower gel The breakfast coffee v questionable or nice at all
Hi Anne-Marie, Thank you for your feedback. You arrived a little earlier than expected and I didn’t get a chance to pop some biscuits into your room before you settled in. It was me who opened your door - I thought you had just dropped off your bags and stepped out but I absolutely should have knocked first. I'm really sorry for the disturbance and any inconvenience caused. We don’t use bars of soap in the bathrooms but that’s something we may consider for future guests. A fresh tube of shower gel is placed in each room daily, so I’ll follow up with our team to make sure that’s consistently happening. As for the coffee, it’s brewed fresh each morning and sourced locally from one of the top roasters in town. Perhaps it just wasn’t to your taste, as we’ve not had any previous complaints - we’ve been using them for some time and have only ever had glowing feedback. (I’m not a coffee drinker myself, but it does smell really good!) Thanks again for your comments - we’re always striving to improve what we offer, and feedback like yours helps us grow. I’m so glad you enjoyed the 60th celebration at the Lisdoo - it’s a great spot! Kind regards, Helena

Verified reviewThe rooms were very clean, the bed was good quality. The decor was nice with plenty of interesting things on the walls, especially the dining area during breakfast.
I couldn't find much to fault, the sausages in the breakfast were a bit on the small side.
Hi Keith, Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. We're delighted to hear you enjoyed the unique décor throughout Glen Gat; many of those pieces have been lovingly collected by Tim over the years and they’ve become part of the charm of our family-run B&B, now celebrating 35 years in business. We really appreciate your comment about the sausages, too. Based on guest feedback like yours, we've now sourced larger ones from a local butcher that we feel are a much better fit for a hearty Full Irish. We’d love to welcome you back again soon so you can give the new version a try- we’re sure you’ll notice the difference! Kind regards, Helena

The accommodation is in the process of being redecorated and given a general clean up which will be great. The outdoor areas would benefit from a general clean up also. power washing steps and yard would help a lot.
Thanks for the feedback- we got the power washing done when the good weather hit. And some of the other work in progress has been completed since you were here. I'm glad that enjoyed your breakfast and felt that we were attentive and friendly. We aim to please. Kind regards, Helena
