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 reviewWe loved our stay at the Den! Brían was super welcoming and helped us plan our 2 days/ nights around the peninsula. We already miss the 2 cheeky cats too! The location was amazing with brilliant viewpoints, easy walks, sandy beaches and scenic drives. We really felt like the location allowed us to properly explore the area really well. The Den itself was very cute and cosy, perfect for the two of us, and had all the amenities we needed. Brían, Orla, thanks again for having us!
A few flies got in (we really can't think of anything else!)

Verified reviewWe have probably never had a friendlier, more helpful, more welcoming or more committed host than Brian. He's a great guy who impressed us even in the communication before our stay. After our arrival he gave us a very helpful map of the peninsula and recommended great sights, walks and places to eat. The accommodation is exceptionally lovingly furnished and overall excellently equipped - with a lot of character. There is free milk for tea and coffee (even from the machine) and also orange juice in the fridge. Other non-alcoholic and alcoholic drinks can be taken from the fridge at reasonable prices. There was also a fruit basket. You can also order baked goods. We enjoyed wonderfully tasty scones (5€). Thanks to Orla, Brian's wife! The location of the accommodation is wonderfully secluded and quiet, and it is perfect for exploring the peninsula. The view from the front window is priceless. Maybe important to know for some people: There is quite a steep staircase to the bed. There is a fully equipped kitchen but no dining table. We had a very nice stay and would love to come back any time.
We had only booked two nights. Should have stayed longer.

Verified reviewThe place was absolutely lovely—a beautiful cottage with all the amenities you could ask for. The views from the cottage were stunning, and exploring the area made it even better, with charming lighthouses along the way. But the real highlight was the hosts—a wonderful family who made us feel right at home. They were always there to help and shared great tips on hidden spots to explore around town. You can even enjoy some homemade baked treats—absolutely delicious! Highly recommended!
Really delighted you enjoyed your stay with us. And glad you enjoyed the Muffins and breakfast scones.
