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...).

United KingdomRoom we had was on first floor so difficult taking luggage up, and bathroom was across the hallway. This is not about the property but more so about our access needs. We should have checked!
Everything was just lovely. Clean, well looked after and the property was easy to find using the code the owners give you. The breakfast was plentiful. With so much attention to detail. So peaceful here. Welcome and friendly.

We stayed with the owner couple in the same building which was the first time experience for us in many years traveling. They were so friendly and humorous. We had lots of pleasant conversations. With their suggestion we also had a good time in the nearby area where some prehistoric sites were discovered recently. It’s definitely worthy to stay there & visit the nearby place. The property is very clean and comfortable with a really big garden & very interesting stories.

Very quiet location a few steps from the Boyne riverside walk. Very friendly owners. Convivial and informal continental breakfast with delicious bread around the large kitchen table. Everywhere spotlessly clean.

New ZealandIt was perfect
An unforgettable stay – authentic Irish hospitality at its finest We stayed in the main house in a beautiful, spacious en suite room that was cosy, peaceful, and completely silent—just what we needed for a restful night. I was back home in Ireland and brought my partner (who's from England) with me. I really wanted her to experience a proper Irish welcome, and Michelle and Arthur absolutely delivered. From the moment Michelle greeted us and showed us around, we felt completely at ease. The setting is stunning—surrounded by tranquil countryside, friendly horses, and a sunset that was nothing short of magical. What makes this place truly special is the people. Michelle, Arthur, and their son were gracious, warm, and thoughtful hosts. They struck that rare perfect balance: giving us the space to relax, while also being completely open to conversation. Naturally, we found ourselves chatting for ages—on everything from travel to culture to life in general. They're incredibly well-travelled, with a wide-ranging knowledge and open-minded perspective that made for some of the most enriching conversations we’ve had in a long time. This isn’t just a great place to stay—it’s an experience. If you're looking for a real Irish welcome near the UNESCO World Heritage site of Brú na Bóinne, this place comes second to none. Whether you're visiting from overseas or returning home like I was, Michelle and Arthur will make you feel part of something truly special. Highly, highly recommended—100%.
