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):
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.
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.).

United KingdomThe property didn't have a washing machine, given the location and the chance of a lot of rain, the opportunity to wash and dry our clothes would have helped especially with small children.

United StatesWe loved every minute of our stay in Doolin. And the cottage at Fairwinds felt like home.
The cottage is spacious and has everything you need. Two bathrooms and three bedrooms accommodated our group comfortably and the outside dining area has a breathtaking view of the Irish landscape. We walked to the cafe, pubs, restaurants, Cliffs of Moher and ferry to Inishmore.

United StatesHard to find food supplies without a car. We had 6 coffee drinkers so a coffee maker would have been nice. The French press provided worked just fine fine…but a slower process.
We had 3 couples and the property served us really well! Lots of space, newly remodeled, clean & comfortable. Great location. Bus stop outside the door!

United KingdomThe cottage was lovely, modern & homely with nice decor. Beds were comfortable. It was perfect for a quick stopover to visit the Cliffs of Moher which were only a 10 minute drive away. Went to the local pub, McDermotts, food was good and it was a great atmosphere with the live music. We wished we could have stayed longer.

United StatesThe only amenity we could have used is a washer and dryer because it was in the middle of our trip and we had difficulty finding laundry service that we could do at night. This is not really something we didn't like, since we knew there wasn't a washer and dryer, but it is a perk that would have been great to have.
The cottage was very clean, comfortable, and pretty. It was located very conveniently to town, but you still felt like you were out in the country. It was very peaceful. The hosts were very communicative and responsive. The towels and linens were all great. We loved the lighted mirrors in the bathrooms. They were great when getting up in the middle of the night, lol. We highly recommend staying at the the Fairwinds Cottage if you are going to Doolin.
