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 room had everything youd need ...clean spacious with cooking facilities and a lounge area with great views out to the countryside. 5 minutes from the nearest towns both ways. Great for a getaway if that's what you want. Paula couldn't have been more helpful. I'd rate this a find for sure 👌

Verified reviewBeautiful location and house. Very peaceful and quiet but close to two villages with pubs, restaurants, supermarkets and takeaways/delivery services. We stayed a couple of nights before travelling west; we would have been happy to stay for longer.

Verified reviewThe place was exceptionally clean. It had a lovely view. Great facilities - little kitchenette with everything you could need to cater fully for yourself - fridge, freezer, hob, crockery, cutlery, pot, pan, cooking utensils. Lovely main room with very comfortable bed, as well as sofa on which you could watch TV, kitchen table and chairs and other pieces of nice furniture. Good parking space. Lovely, private place. I asked if I could check in earlier than the official 4.00pm check-in time, and was welcomed as soon as I had sent the request to arrive whenever I wanted. Very reasonable price.
Just the distance from the nearest town.

Verified reviewThis was a last minute booking to accommodate a late flight into Dublin. The price was excellent compared to hotels around the Dublin area, particularly for 2 rooms. The host reached out very quickly to confirm late checkin and details etc. The property is really easy to get to. It's around a half hour easy drive north of the airport on the M1, then a short drive once you come off the motorway. It is in a beautiful country setting. The rooms were so lovely, decorated to a very high standard and had lots of amenities. One was a family room with a huge bed and bunk beds. The beds were extremely comfortable and the room had lots of space. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and were appreciative of a late checkout. We didn't want to leave as we enjoyed the space so much! Would highly recommend and we will definitely be back in the future when we need accommodation in the area. Thank you Paula! :-)
Couldn'r fault the proprty at all!

Verified reviewSuper friendly and helpful host. HUGE room, much bigger than we needed but fun for our toddler to run around. Toddler also loved the animals out the front and tractors in view from the fields, so free entertainment basically! Room was well equipped with kitchenette, complete with all the essentials.

Verified reviewSuch peace and quiet. I slept like a log. Lovely to be able to sleep and all you can hear is nature - so refreshing. The room was fantastic - hotel style luxury and more like a hotel suite than a room. Everything was to a very high professional standard - bedding clean, and fresh, the room and bathroom also felt like five star hotel standards. It is located in such a peaceful place you would not believe you are that close relatively to a motorway.
That I did not have time to stay longer. Paula was a very professional host. A very well run and maintained establishment.

Verified reviewSo calm and peaceful - proper luxury! Bed was so comfortable and the place was spotless. Paula was such a charming host - very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble - you are made to feel more like family than a guest. If you want a tranquil place to stay but within a short distance of excellent transport links this is the place to stay. It's hard to believe you're less than 5 minutes from the M1 as it's so quiet. There's the beautiful lake in the woods at the bottom of the field too so there's things to do in the evening whatever the weather. Such a relaxing place to stay - it felt more like a week's holiday than a one night stay
Nothing. Genuinely. Spotlessly clean, comfortable beds, professional, welcoming host, beautiful location and excellent located exactly half way between Belfast and Dublin, easy to find, relaxing setting, great facilities, well worth the price, I definitely hope to be back again soon.
