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.).

Verified reviewLocation near Ghleann Cholm Cille very good. Room was clean; beds comfortable.
Somewhat misleading advertising in that this is not a traditional B&B...more like a hostel and as such, perfectly acceptable. Very basic accommodation in a very remote location, so not many options.

Verified reviewFriendliness of the management.
I had booked for a disabled room. We were on the ground floor but the toilet had no support rail so I had to take my friend to the toilet.
sorry but there is no indication on your booking for a disabled room. You also booked a double and our disabled room is a twin room. Had we known we would have obliged you. You could also have told us on booking in?

Verified reviewThe property was clean and had the use of a kitchen and supplied milk etc.
It was very small and I could access the sink in bathroom because of a glass shelf placed in a very bad position.

Verified reviewWe really enjoyed our stay at this lovely accommodation, which is perfectly located for visiting Silver Strand and the Slieve League Cliffs. The setting is quiet and beautiful, ideal for a relaxing getaway in nature. The house has a lot of charm, with cozy common areas to relax in. In our case, the bathroom was outside the room, but we had the entire floor to ourselves, so it was absolutely fine and felt private. The owners were absolutely delightful — very friendly and welcoming, and they made us feel right at home. Breakfast was quite good, with a nice variety: croissants, toast, cold cuts, yogurt, tea and coffee, as well as fruit, milk, and cereals. It was a great way to start the day before heading out to explore the area.

Verified reviewWe were very satisfied – the accommodation exceeded our expectations and we felt truly great here. The owner was extremely kind and friendly, and they also had excellent tips for interesting places in the area – many of which you won’t even find on Google Maps :). He also recommended a bio shop just across the street, where we discovered algae-based cosmetics, sea salt, and other specialties. Overall, this place has a unique atmosphere and an incredibly positive energy – we would definitely love to come back.

Verified reviewThe owners were so lovely! Great location for some quiet, close to a couple of local towns and sights within a couple of minutes drive. Older building but very clean and comfortable. Kitchen facilities were great with a lounge area upstairs and the breakfast was perfect. Very quaint, friendly and cute, thoroughly enjoyed! Please note I took photos upon departure, not arrival!

Not a typical Irish bed and breakfast. Continental breakfast only. More of a hostel style accommodation.

Verified reviewI cannot recommend this place enough! Leon and Gillian were the best hosts ever! We had car trouble and Leon came and picked us up.. He then came into town to pick us back up as we had called over the moment to get lunch. The breakfast was very good! Leon and Gillian made what was a stressful day. A wonderful one! They are the best!

Verified reviewWe liked the landlord, very good, helpful, and a great man. If you need anything, he's gonna help you know what places to visit, and where to get food if needed. We liked that Slieve League Cliffs are not too far from the location, and not too far is some more beaches and cliffs. Excellent place to relax from the city routine.
Everything was okay.
