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...).

United StatesNothing! Our stay there was perfect.
The grounds were absolutely gorgeous. My only regret was that we didn’t walk around more. There were several trails on the property that you could choose from, but we were too busy taking in other tourist attractions to enjoy them. The atmosphere was very relaxing. The room was very comfortable and clean. The two bars that we went to had very good craft cocktails, different from any I have seen. The staff was extremely friendly and welcoming. I would stay there again.

IrelandI knew when I booked Sheen Falls that it was going to be a wonderful trip, but this resort exceeded any expectations I had. The staff were absolutely wonderful, so kind and approachable. The food was extraordinary, the views and location were incredible, the room and facilties were absolutely amazing. The room was one of the highlights for me. We felt so taken care of the whole time and we were absolutely gutted to leave. We have decided to make this resort our go to place at least 3 times a year from now on, as we were just blown away. Stunning place, highly recommend it, and have told family and friends to stay here and experience how wondeful it was! We would LOVE to get married here in the future as I couldn't pick a better spot for it. Extremely happy with it overall. Thank you so much to all the staff during the stay - they made it even better for us.

IrelandThe breakfast could be improved. We ordered Avocado sourdough toast from the cooked section and didn’t eat much of it, avocado was like a purée on a regular toast. This was the least impressive avocado toast we’ve tried. My friend didn’t like her Irish breakfast much either.
The location is stunning. The art around the whole hotel is amazingly beautiful, the mural at the main reception made us smile upon arrival. The staff are very accommodating and nice. The spa was also the nicest we have seen in Ireland so far, we had deep tissue massage there and really enjoyed sauna afterwards.

IrelandNothing at all. Everything was fantastic.
The room upgrade, followed by prosecco was a big surprise for us when we checked in. The room was exceptional, which I did not expect at all. Very spacious, comfortable, and the views were breathtaking. The food and drinks were delicious in both the sheen lounge and the stables brassiere. Both rooms were very cosy to drink and dine. The treatments and facilities at the spa were very nice and relaxing. All the staff from each department were very friendly and helpful.

IrelandThe cleanliness of the windows
The room was amazing. However the windows in the bedroom were in bad need of a good clean. I expected better from a hotel with such a high standard. Also i found a diabetic needle bu the bureau which could have been fatal for a child. Otherwise our stay was amazing and we hope to return again very soon. Many Thanks Helen
