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...).

United KingdomWe actually stayed in the Foyleview cabin rather than the rustic log cabin but I cannot review it because my original booking was for the rustic cabin. We had such a wonderful stay. The cabin is so cosy, we had all the cooking utensils you could want, the bed is very comfortable, WiFi was great, The view is amazing. The hot tub is fantastic, you just walk around the back of the house to access it, really not an issue. I’ve seen some ridiculous complaints on here about how far away it is! The BBQ and the outdoor kitchen facilities are also amazing. Sheelagh and Michael are perfect hosts. Always smiling always available and nothing is a bother to them, genuinely lovely people. We were there 3 nights and thoroughly enjoyed our stay there.

United KingdomIt’s a nice, self-catering cabin, with all the required amenities and with an incredible view! Before arriving, I came across some of the really negative, recent reviews, and they are completely unfair. So don’t let them put you off, as the place looks exactly as it does in the photos. Although, it should be clearly stated in the description that the living room/kitchen and bedroom areas are accessed separately by outside doors. Overall, the hut is as described, ‘rustic.’ It was nice, it was clean, had the required amenities, and the view was spectacular! But to me it needs some TLC, a bit more effort. For example, the outside of the hut could be cleaned up a bit in my opinion because it was covered in cobwebs. All that being said, it is described as rustic, and we had a lovely stay, and adored the terrace and outdoor seating area!

United KingdomNothing. I did my research and I knew what to expect. If a power shower is important to you then don’t book but I can’t fault this log cabin. It has everything you need for a self catering holiday
The view is breathtaking and the location is very peaceful. You can sit and watch the boats cross the stretch of water all day, weather permitting. The cabin has everything you need to make meals. Oven, kettle and toaster. Loads of room in front of the property for children to play games and for the dog to run around. Is a rustic log cabin so I didn’t expect much from the shower as other reviews have mentioned but it’s enough to have a wash which is all you need. It’s a lovely little place to explore Donegal and great value for money. I do prefer a self catering holiday as you eat out if you want but also have the option to make a meal in. Well done to the owners, I really enjoyed my stay and I would definitely come back

CanadaI missed the note that we needed our own towels but we made due and Michael and Sheilgh were gracious enough to help us out.
The view and tranquility make it a good place to rest when trying to fit in many attractions of Northern Ireland. The ferry from Magilligan Point is efficient and quick to get to from cabin. The deck is a lovey place for morning coffee in the sun.
