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 reviewThe location of the property was great, just at the end of the main street and at the end of the drive to Castletown House. So lovely walks and access to restaurants on the doorstep. The property had a lovely feel and was comfortable.
The heating was on all the time so the property was very warm, that didn't suit everyone. The shower control wasn't functioning properly so the water was scalding hot and dangerously so. There was no Wi-Fi, which may have been noted on the details but if so we missed it. The third bedroom was off the second bedroom, so you had to walk through bedroom 2 to get to the bathroom/rest of the house.
Thank you for your review. Glad you enjoyed the excellent location and feel of the property. I am sorry to hear about the heating, I hope the House Manager was able to look into this for you. We will ensure it and the shower are rectified for the next guests. We do try to make the lack of Wifi as clear as possible as a heritage property, and will ensure the bedroom layout is clearly stated. Thank you for the valuable feedback. Hope you'll join us here again or at one of our other historic properties across Ireland. Kindest regards, Bookings Office

Verified reviewThere is plenty of space here. It is also really nice that it has two full bathrooms and a functioning kitchen. Other than that is was very nice~!
As with every place we visit in IRL/UK, the beds are a bit small. We only wish the house had wifi, traveling from America helps that with the data plans. Other than that it was very nice!

Verified reviewThe stay was excellent, and the house was lovely, in a great location. The house manager was very kind and let us check in early.
The only downside was that there was only one parking space available. The parking on the street is very expensive and capped at a maximum of 2 hours. It would have been good to know this beforehand

Verified reviewit’s an interesting property with an interesting history. And it’s very close to a wonderful walking park along with a mansion that you can tour. Local towns people nice.

Verified reviewWhat a gem of a place to find. Lorraine,the host was friendly and knowledgeable,and the locals were friendly. Even to the point of explaining camogie to ignorant English. It maybe ladies playing hurling but if you have never seen it before it's well worth a look. Dublin is about a hour away, but with the local bus service outside your door,with one about every twenty minutes there's no hassle. Good luck on acquiring other properties like this.and allowing Joe public the opportunity to have some kind of experience of how people used to live.... If we ever travel back to Dublin would book in an instant....

Verified reviewThe location was amazing. The town was quaint and the townspeople were all so friendly. There's a beautiful park adjacent to the property, and a wonderful coffee and breakfast shop just steps away.
My only complaint, which I can barely call a complaint, is that there wasn't a lot of back up supplies. Our group of four ran out of toilet paper by the end of our stay.

Verified reviewVery cosy & comfortable place with great location (Dublin within 30-40 mins by bus). Swift & easy process for the keys. Bed & bath linen very fresh.
Even tought we did not miss the lack of Wifi the place could do with a TV especially, at this time of the year (celebrations, end of the year reviews, sporting matches).
