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...).

IrelandIt was difficult to get taxis into/ out of the town so we walked. That said we weren’t organised enough to book ahead! It’s on a busy road but couldn’t hear it inside and we sat out both days taking in the views and it didn’t bother us. Couldn’t get the TV working so a smart TV might be helpful to log into your own apps
Beautiful cottage with lovely views. Very clean and comfortable. Much appreciated of the chilled beers and biscuits which were lovely little touches! Great facilities and great communication from host

IrelandThis is very personal but there was a really strong smell of Dettol. Yes I know it meant it was spotlessly clean but dettol just reminded me and my sister of being sick as children!! Gates/drive extremely narrow to navigate car.
House was perfect - beautifully renovated cottage, warm, clean and comfy. Great location to explore the south east.

IrelandThe drive way and the weather but that's not their fault
I think over all it was very nice. location is lovely but getting in the driveway and out in a jeep is a faff. you can drive in but can't reverse out as its a very busy road. So a 16 point turn in the garden is needed and its very tight. But its still a wonderful little cottage. Didnt stay the second night as the weather was shocking but that's cork and Southern Ireland

United KingdomThe driveway is a little narrow, so a big car might struggle to turn around. But it's a busy road, so you wouldn't want to reverse out.
The location was superb. The perfect base for seeing the area. And the view out over the water was beautiful.

IrelandIt was a lovely location except for the busy road at the front. It wasn't safe to let the kids outside alone unfortunately and didn't feel we could sit out.
We loved the views and it was the perfect size cottage for a short stay for a family of 4. Plenty of space. Wifi and chrome cast perfect for the kids in the evening. Communication with the owner was brilliant. No rush leaving on the last day which gave us time to get the kids moving!

IrelandReally nothing I didn't like but just to have an awareness if travelling with a pet, a curious dog might jump the front wall onto the busy road if not fully supervised.
The location and view from the cottage is stunning. There is loads to do with cycling the blue way from Dungarvan, the beach walk in Youghal and cliff walk in Ardmore. A really relaxing holiday with everything you need and lots of extras at the house, very comfortable and clean. I enjoyed reading one of the books from the selection that was there. Lovely outdoor area to sit and look out at the sea especially in the evening when the traffic dies down. I will definitely go back.
