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...).

Caroline is a wonderful host; she went out of her way to make our stay so comfortable. She was very responsive to every question I asked. We used the washer/ dryer. We appreciated that there was detergent available & sugar, snacks, tea, coffee & paper towels in the kitchen! Truly a honey welcoming place & we will be back! She even helped us out with our luggage!

United StatesThere was a bit of a challenge finding the property since it's between other buildings with a locked gate. We had the code to the gate but couldn't locate the driveway to the property when first arriving.
We picked this spot because of its location to restaurants, the castle, and close to the Shannon Airport. Caroline was very responsive and went over and above by providing champagne and chocolate for my Mom's birthday! The cottage is absolutely beautiful and each bedroom has a bathroom! Such a bonus!

United StatesNothing. We enjoyed all of it.
The location was wonderful-right near Bunratty Castle, and easy to find. So many wonderful places to eat, and easy access to other sites as well. Caroline left a book of information in the cottage and it was very helpful. The area surrounding the apartment was quiet and people were friendly. The home was clean and fresh, bright and comfortable. Everything we needed was provided and there was plenty of space for the 6 adults in our group. Three bathrooms made it easy as well. There were also many lovely touches to make it even more pleasant. The beautiful decor, fresheners in each room, and fresh smelling linens and towels made one feel right at home. There is also a lovely place to gather on in the back with a semi private fence and an electric fireplace for chilly evenings and mornings. We were able to check in without any issue and directions were very clear. We didn’t have to call her, but Caroline checked in on us-even warning us when there was a water main issue in Bunratty. We will be returning here. Soon I hope!

United StatesJust a suggestion, but traveling all day, it would have been nice to have simple snacks, games and/or books available. Accessing the unit should be more clear. We drove around for over 30 min just trying to "get to" it.
It was close to food and Bunratty castle. It was warm and cozy. With just enough room for teenagers to not have to be bothered by their boring parents! We all slept well! Loved the binder for more info.
