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...).

I have to say I said to Daniel before we felt that I think that it's got to be the cleanest room we've ever stayed in! The room was lovely, the bed soft and comfy, huge walk in shower. Yummy breakfast and the location was spot on also.

IrelandThe Red Gate House was perfect! The location was ideal, it is a great starting point to discover the scenery of Malin Head and any sights around the area. The room was spotless and spacious with comfy beds. The owners were incredibly friendly and helpful, making our stay even more enjoyable. The breakfast & service was amazing! The booking process was smooth and straightforward. We would definitely stay here again!

IrelandThe continental breakfast was a bit disappointing compared to the Irish one. It lacked variety and cooked food, only a few slices of ham and cheese. The blanket was a too small for a double bed.
The room was spacious and comfortable, and the warm welcome made us feel right at home. The Irish breakfast was good and satisfying. The location is lovely - quiet, spacious,

HungaryThis is very subjective but it was slightly disconcerting that we were the only guests in such a large house together with the hosts. But I guess tourist season did not yet kick in.
A great hideout in the Malin Peninsula, only a 15-20 minute drive from Malin Head. It is located in lovely green scenery. The house is spectacular, larger than expected. The room was huge, clean and comfortable. Tina and Daniel are kind and enthusiastic hosts, Tina made us amazing, rich breakfast (one can choose from many options), and Daniel was kind enough to share local insights.

BelgiumWe could only stay for one night.
The owners are the nicest people in the North-West. They did everything to create a comfortable stay. Our man speaks at least 4 different languages, which makes people feel at home instantly. Nice interior, very clean 👌 We could choose 3 different types of breakfast, absolutely delicious. They also gave us good tips for other further travel through Donegal, leading us to the nicest sceneries, so we have seen so much more than when we would have taken the main roads. We definitely recommend this place.
