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.).

The road was quite busy, but that can't be avoided, and the house was set back from it.
The garden was a lovely additional space for relaxing and for the children to play. The house was spacious and full of light.

Beds are a bit small, but comfortable. Wifi is a bit weak.
A wonderful cottage- spacious, clean, and fully equipped. The kitchen had everything we needed. The host was very responsive, and the location is perfect for exploring the Burren and the Cliffs of Moher.

The hosts were really hospitable and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble and Phyllis was kind enough to accommodate when the booking party grew from 2 to 5 people. The cottage itself is lovely and very comfortable. It comes equipped with everything required for cooking/laundry etc. Its perfectly located within a stones throw to Ennistymon and Lahinch/Doolin not so far away either.

The musty smell from the moment I opened the door, which continued into the living room, up the stairs & even existed in the main bedroom. I felt it was coming from the mat well, the kitchen cupboards, the living room rug & couch, the stairs carpet & the carpet in main bedroom. The fact I couldn't keep the doors open to help with the smell, given I had seen a rat outside. The fact we couldn't relax in the outdoor garden given we had seen a rat. The dirt of the clothes line outside it was covered in green/algae. The fact I couldn't open the upstairs windows in full & only on a big vent. The strong odour from the water when we ran it in the downstairs sink & upstairs bathroom. The extremely strong musty smell from under the stairs which meant you'd be slow to use anything from there such as the ironing board. While the host put in pest control it was only when I asked for a solution. Regarding the water they also acted promptly ; first told us to buy some & then showed us the county council confirmation of algae in the water but that it was safe to drink. However you would not feel safe drinking it therefore we bought some. Cleanliness was not thorough despite having paid a €75 fee for cleaning - cobwebs on light fixtures, dirty carpet that could easily be cleaned professionally & a very strong musty smell throughout the house.
The location, while Ennistymon has nothing to offer other than an Aldi, was very central for accessing Lahinch & other nearby beaches together with accessing Milltown Malbay town.
