Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. 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. 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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

Nothing really.Maybe a sign near the property would be useful.
Teach Talamh is a lovely haven in the West of Ireland. Lots of space, clean and very good location for trips around Clare and Galway.

It was all good. It's a hideaway and a place for relaxation so if that's what you are looking for, this is the place.
It's a beautiful property and the story of how Liam built it is both inspiring and explains the quirks and interesting aspects to the house. We loved staying there and wish we'd got a chance to say hello properly! Thank you.

Mmmm...probably the surfaces, need for more shelves, and kitchen equipment, squeaky floor boards....but I'm not interested in complaining
I loved it, was right up my street!!!.....in less than 1 minutes from the door, I could be bare footed on the wonderful Kaarstic bedrock of the Burren.This v v cute spot is ON THE BOARDER LINE of Galway and Clare. It is a magnificent green oasis in the grey glory of this magnificent limestone landscape. The owners are harmonious,cooperative and non invasive! I'll go back.Thanks,L&F, Bridget

Unfortunately the glasses and parts of the kitchen were not entirely clean.
The house was easy to find due to the exact instructions provided by the host. It is located in the middle of nature and very quiet. The comfy living room makes you feel welcome. There are three separate bedrooms with individual designs. The hosts are very friendly and helpful. Thank you for the lovely welcome gift!

People staying here need to understand that this place is one of a kind , and not your standard holiday cottage. It is an earth/cob house ( Lehmhaus) in the middle of nowhere with a few creepy crawlies and rooms need to be heated. This is to be expected. There was nothing that we didn't like. We were sad to leave.
This place is unique in a tranquil and beautiful rural location. Perfect for day trips out and lovely walks in the national park. The kids loved it. The host is very helpful. We had a brilliant and relaxing time. The place has everything we needed.

It’s a great place to stay. Really peaceful and lively rooms. The kitchen upstairs is so cosy and well kitted out - we used the board games like scrabble. Liam the host is so friendly and recommended lovely walks. He even left some nice wine for us. It’s handy for the Burren and also not too long to the coast for the cliffs of moher. Kinnvara is only 10 mins drive away which has good restaurants and pubs.

All was ok
In my opinion, this is a very good option for travelers with a car. Especially if you have a large family and animals. A large and clean house with 3 bedrooms, although not new. There is a table and benches near the house. In warm weather, you can make a barbecue and sit outside. The hosts were always in touch and answered our questions. The kitchen has everything you need, including tea, coffee, etc. The hosts also left us a compliment in the form of sweets. The children were delighted. Thank you for a pleasant time.

What was meant to be a lovely break for Xmas turned into an absolute nightmare. The house has no central heating, plug-in radiators and a gas fire upstairs, and in the hall entrance so cold you could see your own breath. Damp and condensation on the windows and walls - had to wipe the condensation off with towels. Bathroom freezing cold no form of heat in there whatsoever. Not suitable for a family in the height of winter due to the above reasons. Would avoid at all costs.

Sounds terrible but the lack of a tv after a busy day sightseeing was a blow. We thought, no problem, we’ll use the wifi and stream Netflix on the iPad - unfortunately there was no wifi. I guess the complimentary bottle of wine helped us deal with that.
Plenty of room. Nice touch with a bottle of wine on arrival
