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...).

IrelandThe location is fabulous, across the road from the beach and within walking distance of the town. It's a beautiful little spot, really clean and really comfortable. The hosts left some nice touches for us too. Be aware you can make teas and coffees but there are no cooking facilities.

United KingdomThe studio apartment was beautifully decorated and very clean. Breege had provided lovely snacks and even went as far as having plenty of toiletries if we needed them. We arrived a little earlier than expected and Breege was a fabulous hostess. She welcomed us in, recommended places to go, and assured us if we needed anything she was there. When leaving she made sure to check all was ok and so friendly and kind. A lovely place, beautiful scenery, within walking distance to Buncrana and the beach and a fabulous hostess.

United KingdomWe have just visited Buncrana for a wedding and had a wonderful night's sleep in this clean, beautifully furnished cabin. Everything was very well designed for a perfect short stay, including a comfy bed, large sofa and gorgeous bathroom. It was surprisingly spacious too! The host was also extremely courteous and responsive via messages so that we knew how to check in, answering my questions and even letting us arrive slightly earlier so we could get to our wedding party on time. There were also some tasty treats left for us to enjoy. The studio is really well located for a quick 5 minute walk into the centre and for stunning views out over the water. We wish we could have stayed longer!

IrelandVery easily accessible, when we got inside it was warm and the bed was so comfortable. Very spacious and had everything we needed right down to the coffee machine and cold water in the fridge! Less than 10 minute walk to the Harbour Inn, and directly across from the beach. Lovely refreshments on arrival too which was nice.

IrelandThe room was very warm, as it turns out there was a second radiator in the room that we didn't spot immediately, which was on. The only window is the large patio door, therefore to let fresh air in at night we had to leave the patio door open. I have no doubt it's very safe however, the patio door is visible from the main road into Buncrana.
The location was excellent, right accross from the beach and just a short walk to the main street with lots of choice for restaurants and bars. Breege was a supper host, very helpful.

Fab location just across the road from the beach. Stylish & very comfortable furnishings, the bed was great, we slept very well. Lovely array of snacks & cereal, much more than the usual coffee/tea & a biscuit. Altho' not self catering, the fridge, crockery & cutlery meant we could make breakfast & lunch/snack.
