Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

IrelandThe upstairs of the house was really creaky, I was travelling with 2 kids and as I walked around to go to bed the noise of the floors and squeaking doors woke them up. Not the fault of the house or host but the people next door started vacuuming and sweeping at 6am, the walls were thin and I was woken up. They then proceeded to spend about 5 minutes outside noisily dragging traffic cones around before they left.
The house was spotless clean and comfortable. It was located very close to the hotel with a great restaurant that was good value for money and included free access to the pool.

IrelandIt could have just more essentials, like salt, sugar , a roll of kitchen towel? Even though it is a great kitchen, self catering, if you forget anything you need to drive a good 20 mins to the nearby shop and pray it is open. So it is hard to remember to pack such essentials like main seasonings. Also, maybe leave a few options for the local delivery companies? That is all. The house itself was perfect.
Great big house

IrelandProperty could do with a major dusting, walls and ceilings were covered in spider webs, spiders & so much dust. Kitchen counters had a lot of crumbs on them we noticed just as we arrived. Ceilings in each room have so much water damage marks on them along with the doors and floor boards being super noisey. The description does not match the house as it states there is a sofa bed which there was not one, very disappointing as I had booked this property for six people, two couples and two friends who were counting on a bed and sofa bed.
Location was amazing as we had a wedding in the castle so walking distance was really good.

IrelandThe owner is rude and aggressive. Bedrooms were not as described. She then didn't want us using all the rooms as they were set ready for the next guests. Kept telling us to leave and threatening that she was outside and angry.
House was located in a really handy spot for a wedding in Kilronan Castle. Lovely clean and tidy house. Key collection was easy.
