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...).

IrelandVery little options for charging our electric vehicle in the area.
The location was beautiful and quiet. Having access to a small beach was perfect and highly recommend hiring the hot tub as extra because that was well used by us.

GermanyThis is a warning that you will not get the house advertised in the pictures. There are more than 10 houses and the pictures are the best of bread of everything, including a restaurant that is closed. No nice terrace for this and no view of the lake but of the neighbours and the bins. There is no water pipe but a very, very loud water pump so every time you use the tap or toilet it is a very loud noise in the house. That's annoying if you stay at home because of the weather. There are a lot of things to fix: Door handle for one bedroom was broken so you can hardly open There were ants in the kitchen Dishwasher was broken because it is missing the track at the top basket One of the kitchen cabinet doors were broken and the toaster toasts rather on one side than both sides and burns the toast very quickly, even on the lowest temperature When we arrived, we started cleaning the kitchen, especially the six chairs at the main table.
Basically, OK

IrelandThere were plumbing issues in the house we stayed in. There was often no water (hot or cold) in the bathrooms and it would end abruptly.
Good location, close to town and overall very pretty, and nice houses. The glamping pods looked cute too, though did not stay in them.

IrelandThe only criticism we would make is that the bath in the main bathroom which appeared to be a jacuzzi - didn’t work.
We were thrilled to discover that our Lodge was so close to the water’s edge. It was such a fabulous surprise particularly as we were fortunate enough to enjoy the extraordinary weather of last week. The supervisor Natalie was a delight to deal with. We would definitely recommend and will hopefully return.

IrelandIt would have been great if the on-site restaurant was open as we would have loved to have eaten there - but definitely next time!
The location and setting was absolutely perfect. We were a group in ages from 2-65 and everyone absolutely loved what was available on site from the lovely little playground, to the private rock beach, and just the overall peace and tranquility of the the site - it was gorgeous!

IrelandOverall I wasn't disappointed, check out is early, 10am but understandable to allow for the next guests arriving.
The lodges are beautiful, surrounded by mature gardens, lovely view over the water, ideal break from the hustle of everyday life. Quite and secluded but close to Castletownbere.

IrelandUnfortunately we had really bad weather which restricted us to the house. We had planned for this being Ireland but the tv was so old and not a smart tv we were unable to use netflix etc. It's a self catering apartment however it would be nice if some basics were provided such as general cleaning supplies, salt & pepper, matches for the fire, as we were only staying for a short visit. We could not get the bottom oven to work and one of the lights in the sitting room didn't work either. Overall though it was grand just pack board games so the tv doesn't disappoint on the wet days
The house was lovely and clean with plenty of space. It was quick to heat if you were visiting in cooler months. Staff were very responsive with clear instructions. Showers were decent. Couch was big enough to fit our party of four. Easy access parking for the lodges.
