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 KingdomThere was a fridge and a kettle in the bedroom. It would have been nice to have cups and tea bags provided and water glasses.
Breakfast could have been a bit more interesting. Perhaps a croissant or pastry could be included The location was excellent

United KingdomThe communal areas of the courtyard and kitchen were a little less clean, but this was understandable in a busy, child-friendly and dog-friendly establishment. The pressure in the bathroom wash basin cold tap was liable to go from a drip to a strong surge, but this is just a detail.
The accommodation was well-priced. The bedroom with private shower was lovely: very spacious, clean and airy. The staff were very welcoming, friendly and helpful.

AustraliaOur bed was tired - we solved it by adding spare Donna’s underneath the mattress protector- however we didn’t complain as the property was good value and everything else especially location was brilliant
An amazing location. It is a lodge not a hotel. It is make your own breakfast and not fancy. But we loved our time there. Jess was fantastic. O’Neills pub next door has fantastic musicians on Sunday nights.

United StatesThe breakfast wasn’t much of a breakfast. However, if you brought your own ingredients, you could probably make your own breakfast. Because there is a kitchen there.
The village of Allihies is at the tip of the Bera Peninsula. There is a nice beach there and there are mountains for hiking. It’s a quaint little village with a couple of pubs.

IrelandA shared living area to sit and perhaps watch TV later in the evening would be a nice addition.
This was a lovely place. Jess the owner was very welcoming and helpful. It had been a hostel in a previous life but now all rooms are individual bookings. We stayed in the double room with an ensuite. We liked the self-catering shared kitchen facilities and the breakfast items. There is a nice outdoor courtyard area for when the weather is good, The place in general was lovely, quiet and easy-going.

It had everything I needed for my weekend away in the beautiful Beara peninsula. Connie and Jess are absolutely fabulous souls, that had real time and good advice. The room I had was massive, the bed was extremely comfortable, the shower was powerful. And not forgetting Flossy there Labrador, with an equally beautiful personality. Everything here is excellent. Close to 3 bars where I had a great night on the Friday night (Jimmys) with live traditional music. I will be back ASAP. Thank you 🙏 for everything.

United KingdomThe room was very basic. We had an issue with the shower on the night of our arrival, it was rectified by the morning.
The location for where we needed to be was excellent. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. Messages were always answered very quickly. We liked the idea of being able to cook you own food, which would be very good if we came back. The room was kept warm with the heater which was very much appreciated.
