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 breakfast and food were lovely
Unfortunately although we have a very large room, there was barely any ventilation and the room was uncomfortably warm, when i asked after our first night i was old there was a fan available in the room but no air conditioning. When we used the fan the second night it was either very noisy with the fan or suffocating heat without it. I had higher expectations given the price of our room.
Thank you Yvonne for sharing your feedback. We are sorry to hear that your room felt uncomfortably warm during your stay. While our lakeside location usually brings fresh breezes, we understand this wasn’t the case for you, and we regret that the fan did not provide the comfort you expected. We appreciate your comments, as they help us to continually improve the guest experience, and we will certainly take your observations into consideration. We hope you will allow us the opportunity to welcome you back in the future for a more enjoyable and relaxing stay.

Verified reviewGorgeous spacious suite. Didn’t want to leave! Late check in time at 4pm means you’d want to spend two nights ideally
Late check in time didn’t seem like good value considering the price. But still really worth the splurge

Verified reviewThe rooms are exceptionally large and equipped with numerous conveniences. The staff are universally friendly, charming, and accommodating. The view is phenomenal, and the good noise proofing in the rooms combined with the quiet atmosphere of the lake makes for a serene stay.
There didn't appear to be any in-room cooling, and while the temperature at Lough Eske seldom gets unbearably hot, I sleep best in a very cool room and it would have been nice to have the option to drop the temperature by a couple degrees.
Thank you Anthony for your kind words and for taking the time to share your experience. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the spacious rooms, the peaceful lakeside setting, and the warm hospitality from our team — it truly means a lot to us. We also appreciate your feedback regarding in-room cooling. While Lough Eske is usually pleasantly mild, we understand that everyone has their own comfort preferences, and we are always looking at ways to improve our facilities. Your comments will be shared with our management team as we continue to make enhancements for our guests. We hope to welcome you back to Harvey’s Point again soon for another relaxing and memorable stay.

Verified reviewThe staff were exceptional, so welcoming, friendly and helpful. And compliments to the chefs and all catering staff as the food was the best we’ve ever had anywhere.
The only one criticism would be the lack or air conditioning in our lakeside view room . In a beautiful large room there were only two tiny windows with even smaller openings for ventilation which made the room very hot and stuffy . Even though there was a fan provided , it’s noisy and only effective in one area .
Thank you for sharing your feedback and for choosing to stay with us. We are delighted you enjoyed our lakeview suites, however we do apologise that the lack of air conditioning affected your comfort. We understand how important a restful and relaxing stay is, and we regret that the ventilation options didn’t meet your expectations. While fans are provided in our rooms, we appreciate they are not always the perfect solution, and we are in the process of upgrading our facilities to enhance guest comfort in the future. Thank you for acknowledging our team members and chefs, I will be delighted to pass on your lovely comments to them! We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back again soon to Harvey's Point!

Verified reviewFood and staff were excellent. Lovely setting although signage to the hotel could be better.
The room was far too warm, at the price we paid for Room & Breakfast we would expect a hotel of this level / standard to have Air Condition in the bedroom. A fan is not acceptable for €500 per night. Mentioned to the staff and we were asked if we knew there was a fan in the wardrobe and that there would be air con the next time we stayed. Didn't really sleep either night due to the heat. Disappointed with the response from the staff after we complained about the heat. Filled out the comment card and handed to the reception staff. But heard nothing more.
Thank you Gerard for taking the time to share your feedback. I’m truly sorry to hear that the comfort of your room was affected by the temperature. We fully understand how important a good night’s sleep is, especially when enjoying a break away. While air conditioning is not currently available in all of our bedrooms, we are in the process of upgrading our facilities to ensure greater comfort for our guests, and I regret that this was not in place during your visit. I’m also sorry that our response at the time did not make you feel heard or valued — this is not the standard of care we wish to provide. Your comments have been shared with our management team so that we can improve both our facilities and the way we handle guest concerns. We would love the opportunity to welcome you back and restore your faith in Harvey’s Point with the warm hospitality we are known for.

Verified reviewNice Gardens - Nice bed
My favourite Drink - Bulmers - not available waited 25 minutes for my tean and coffee at breakfast paid over 1200 euro for three rooms and you still wanted me to pay for the milk for my tea in the room -
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your suite and the gardens during your stay. To clarify, Bulmers is indeed available in both pint and half-pint bottles in Harvey’s Bar as well as in our banqueting bars, so it sounds like there may have been a little misunderstanding on that front. Also, we would like to assure you that we don’t charge for milk in the bedrooms — complimentary milk and cookies are provided for all our guests to enjoy. We appreciate your comments and hope to welcome you back to Harvey’s Point again soon.
