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...).

IrelandHaving to leave :(
The cottage is so clean and beautiful. Bright and fresh and lots of light in the day and cosy and lovely at night. It is built on beautiful grounds, a stunning garden. The hosts are so kind and lovely and interesting. They gave loads of tips on what to do and where to go. Duncannon beach is a two minute drive away and you can drive right up onto the beach. Dollar Bay which is a 5 minute drive is stunning and a must see. You can get the ferry from Ballyhack to Waterford in about 5 minutes. I fell in love with Duncannon and all its surroundings. I was v sad to leave it all and would go back in a heart beat. Thanks so much to Robert and Mary for being such kind and special hosts.

IrelandThere wasn't much we didn't like. I suppose the only thing that some people may see as a slight problem with is the fact there was only one indoor toilet that you have to go through the twin bedroom to get to. This wasn't really a problem for us as my children are heavy sleepers and wouldn't hear my parents using it during the night. I had the bedroom away from the toilet so In the morning if everyone was still sleeping I just used the outside toilet. The outside toilet was just a little walk from the house and was well equipped with toilet roll, hand wash and towels.
We had a lovely stay at the seaside cottage. Mary and Robert were lovely and very welcoming. We had everything we needed during our stay. The attention to detail was excellent. There were beautiful fresh flowers on the kitchen table and in the living area. There were washing pods left in the laundry room, shower gel in the shower and even tea bags, sugar and milk on arrival. Just these little added extras I thought were brilliant. They thought of everything. The house was very well equipped. The chairs in the living area were very comfortable and there were even blankets hanging up if needed. Each bedroom has a door that opens out onto a little private garden area with a table and chairs. The pillows and duvets were all feather. They were so comfortable. During our stay there was an incident with the vase of flowers in the living area. They were situated on a shelf over the tv. I'm assuming it was due to them being top heavy, and potentially a breeze from the door being open, but unfortunately they fell over and the contents of the small vase spilled over the tv. This resulted in the tv no longer working. Within two days Mary and Robert had the Tv replaced with an even bigger one. For the two nights when we had no TV, Mary was kind enough to bring us over some cards. We had such a laugh playing with these, there were also some games up in the press. On our last night we had a BBQ. We brought our own little portable one, but in the out house where the washing machine and tumble dryer was there was a large BBQ that we could have used, along with charcoal, and everything else needed for a BBQ. There was really no need for us to bring our own charcoal etc. There was also a swing to the side of the house that my children enjoyed. Overall we had such a lovely stay and would visit again.
