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):
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.
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.).

Superb location. Lovely house, very clean, with a fully equipped kitchen, central heating and a great fireplace. A bathtub is always a big plus in my book, too.

United StatesHad difficulty getting information on how to get into cottage (where/how to get key). Once I was able to speak to owner directly all was fine. As American guests, it would have been helpful to have written directions on heat, appliances, etc. the location is absolutely wonderful! The cottage was cozy, and the views were breathtaking! We would definitely return!

United KingdomYou could feel all the springs in the mattress in the en suite - very uncomfortable. One of the beds in the twin was hard and uncomfortable. The oven was not clean. Some utensils greasy. Glasses not clean. No frying pan. Microwave difficult to use and ancient. Paint peeling inside and out. Whole place very dated. En suite bathroom tiny. Yard uncared for. Sea views blocked by oil store and washing line. Agreed instructions for getting into cottage not followed by owner and did not answer when called. Radiators didn't work in bedrooms. The really sad thing was that comments online and in the visitor book have been highlighting these issues for years but clearly owner and agent have done nothing to remedy the situation.

United StatesThe septic tank of the house was full, and the owner couldn't get it emptied during our stay. So there was a lingering smell throughout the house of sewage. The house boasts three bedrooms, but only one had a functioning radiator. Only when we raised the issue with the owner did a neighbor come to turn them on, with difficulty. As the knobs were gripped shut, having not been opened in a long time. Even one of the radiators had to be bled, to release the built up air! Items in the kitchen were not clean (i.e., hot water kettle), and the fridge freezer was packed with ice. The microwave did not work, and the dishwasher was full of washed dishes. Even the frying pan was placed back with the other pots and pans, yet still covered in grease. So certainly not cleaned! This property turned out to be a big disappointment and certainly not worth the money paid.
The location was convenient for the excursions we planned to do during the tik.eof out stay.

IrelandBack door left open on arrival. Where the key was left was a bit odd. Main toilet would not flush well, toilet paper just floating around even after three / four flushes. Two bedrooms with no heating. Main light in sitting room had only one bulb working. Smell in the kitchen like grease when I entered first. Crumbs on counter and kitchen table almost like someone was there and made food and just left as we arrived) Unusable kettle - really filthy. Also had a build up of limescale on most pots and pans so we couldn’t even boil water. Dirty glasses, looks like someone used and never washed they just put back. Rust on locks on back door and front door. A lot of rubbish - bits off old cars and decorations and plastic bottles strewn all over the ground on the way in and at the back of house. Could use a lick of paint on outside. Gate would not open at front. Did not meet host at all, just a couple texts. Perhaps she did not want to disturb us and made it clear she was on WhatsApp if we needed her at all, which was lovely but not being greeted was a bit off putting when you’re renting out someone’s home. ( like what to do with full bins or where everything is and how it’s used ).

SwitzerlandIt could do with a good clean and upgrade of furniture and appliances. Everything is old. Beds are to short for a tall man but quite comfortable. For 250€ a night I would expect it a bit cleaner.
Location is grand. Close to the beach and burren. No restaurant or pub in walking distance tho. The view is fantastic
