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 KingdomGreat location, on our return to Dublin Port. Our suite was located at the front of the building overlooking the formal gardens. The room was large with a four poster bed and large seating area. Furnished in a traditional style it was like stepping back in time. The bathroom was large with a bath and over bath shower. The dining room was equally as impressive and atmospheric. The service was attentive and very professional the menu wasn't extensive but the food was excellent and very tasty. The trio of deserts was a culinary delight.

United Kingdom-bedroom was boiling in the morning even with the windows open -breakfast was smaller portion than dinner was -person in the bar was a little aloof and oblivious, many errors with drinks and the service felt sloppy -music being played was ill-matched with the mood, felt more abrasive than relaxing
+beautiful grounds to walk around +dinner was really generous portion +reception team were brilliant +was nice to also walk around the house and explore the rooms +huge bathroom and bedroom, stunning view from the bedroom of the horses and the sea

IrelandJust a few small things like young staff could perhaps do with a little more training in the overall serving of meals. Get someone to go around and check lampshades and cobwebs. Nothing that would stop us returning but things that would make the house more like it should be.
Check in was easy and friendly. The bar is small and cosy and the dining room is shaped and laid out in a way that you have plenty room to yourselves while chatting over a meal. The gardens are beautiful and we enjoyed a few walks around. The pergola type structure near the house is stunning.

Rooms are very good, beds are comfortable. The hotel was quite as not many rooms were occupied and I liked it. The atmosphere is very good - comfortable sofas, fireplaces with fire on, nice and light music and very friendly staff. Dinner was good. I really enjoyed sea & fields view from my window.

SwitzerlandI don‘t know if the fire alarm sets off regularly, as we were told it is quite sensitive. It rang 2x in the morning, first time at 7 AM. We would just like to mention this, but we would stay here for sure again.
We liked the historic building and the interior. The staff was very friendly and our four poster bedroom was super spacious. Great view from the top window/rooms.

An enchanting house in a beautiful location and only a short drive from the hustle and bustle of Dublin! We had room 4 aka Great Western which makes sense having read the history of the house Cpt Halpin! It has hidden walks and perfectly mowed lawns & hedges together with an eclectic mix of furniture and accessories inside.
