Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. 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. 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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

We loved our stay in Cro na Mbo. Lovely property, with beautiful decor and lots of books, games and music to enjoy. Convenient location, close to Cobh and Cork. Highly recommend the to get some lobster from the fish and chips van in Whitegate on Fridays. Lovely hosts! We would definitely stay again when in Ireland.

Great size and lots of amenities, and also stuff for kids to do if needed. Kitchen well stocked with everything needed to make your own meals. Even if you have a rainy day you can easily spend a day relaxing in the house. Host was great and super helpful for anything needed. Location also good, 20 mins drive from the airport and near a couple of towns with shops/restaurants etc. Could not speak highly enough of the place, would definitely stay again, even had some family along with us that wanted to book the house.

There was absolutely nothing not to like. I'd definitely book it again and recommend it to everyone. It's great if you travel with kids, but it would be equally great for a couple or friends.
We literally liked everything. Naomi is a great host. The house is full of lovely details, that you wouldn't expect- from a personalised welcome sign to a board with recommendations of places to visit, a welcome basket with tasty local products, games, drawing equipment and even a record player and a guitar. The house is spacious yet cosy, the view is fantastic and there are lots of things to explore- in the house as well as in the surrounding area. We only had a few days unfortunately but it would have been perfect for a longer stay too. Thank you Naomi, we had a very tranquil and relaxed time in your house and it really was a home away from home!

Absolutely nothing!
Stunning location about 2kms from Whitegate which has an excellent supermarket. There is also a really good coffee outlet on the pier. The accommodation itself is wonderful. The photos don't do it justice. Everything was provided including dishwasher, microwave and coffee machine. A lovely welcome pack awaited our arrival. Our host Naomi couldn't have been more welcome and helpful with trip suggestions. We were very sorry to leave and can't wait to return.

Wonderful view, great location and very clean. Loads of parking space even for the boat we took. Kitchen had every utensil, bowl, plate and pan you need. Particularly liked the herbs, spices and condiments that were provided. The host, Naomi, couldn't of been more helpful. Would recommend this property.

Leaving 🙂.
Wow! What a magic stay!! The accommodation was perfect, everything we needed and more was provided. Ensuite in main bedroom with another bathroom was great. Both bedrooms were spacious, especially the main bedroom. The view is special, area quiet and safe. Parking right outside the door. Naomi has prepared an information board & we visited a few of her recommendations. Naomi is an excellent host. Great informative & friendly communication. We can't thank Naomi enough for her thoughtfulness and attention to detail.

Property was very clean and comfortable, it enjoys excellent views across the bay, Naomi left bread, eggs, jam, milk & chocolate in a welcome basket, a little touch which was very thoughtful and very much appreciated. The property overall was fantastic with everything you need to make it a home from home. I'll definitely be back in the near future.
