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 KingdomAlthough The Nook sleeps six, it doesn’t easily accommodate that number together in the sitting room or around the dining table. Worked fine for 5 playing card games around the table (once we’d brought a garden chair in for the fifth person), but watching tv together wouldn’t have worked as comfy chairs only seat 3 in the sitting room, though other sitting areas for one of two exist elsewhere in the house. Kitchen fine for breakfast prep, but equipment more limited had we wanted to cook in the evenings, and for our stay hampered by there only being four forks (though I’m sure this will have been rectified by now). Tennis court was great, but when we where there quite algae covered and slippy with a dull bounce, so fine for family fun but would have been tricky if we’d been serious players. All in all, it worked for us, but could be trickier for groups of six wanting to eat and relax together.
Lovely quiet and tranquil setting behind secure gates in a semi-rural location yet with easy access to the local roads and nearby tram system that made it a great base for exploring Dublin and out into the Wicklow countryside. Three spacious and comfortable bedrooms.

United KingdomEverything was just fine
Great location as a touring base for Dublin and the surrounding areas. The property is in a very safe location, lovely garden with seating to soak up the sun. We did have one problem when we arrived but the speed with which this was addressed and corrected was astonishing and great credit to the hosts for their actions, they couldn’t have been more accommodating and helpful, Overall a great holiday and I would have no hesitation in returning to this property.

NetherlandsAs an accommodation for up to 6 people, kitchen could have had a bit more "gear" such as plates, cooking pans and such. Only that. Because kitchen technical appliances such as kettle, bread-rooster and dish-washer were plentiful. Further kitchen was spotless and functionable.

Loved the closeness to city centre whilst feeling miles away. Privacy was great and the facilities were top class. We had bad weather but will return again as facilities are amazing. Management replied to any query within minutes and were more than accommodating with cots and stair gates. Tennis courts are brilliant and space outside is brilliant

United KingdomIt needs a good deep clean! The bathrooms and bedding were clean but some areas were very grubby, such as the inside of the fridge and we have to scrub the oven pan and grill as it was so sticky. There were also coffee stains splashed up the stairs that we cleaned up ourselves. Lots of cobwebs on the windows too. The downstairs area is very small, there were 4 of us and we felt squashed in. Some of the furniture needs updates as cupboard doors were hanging off and no blinds on some windows.
The location is excellent. Really close to all amenities and locations such as Johnnie foxes, bray and the Wicklow mountains. The cottage is situated in a very peaceful area. Use of the tennis court was a great addition. Communication from the hosts was very good and they were helpful when we had a question.

United KingdomUnfortunately this property did not spark joy for us. We were travelling with a young family (4yr old and a 10 month old). There was a smell of damp in the ground floor living area which made that space quite unpleasant to spend time in. The main bathroom upstairs emanated a sewage smell at night time which we found quite unpleasant.
Beautiful surrounding area. Beds very comfortable.

South AfricaThat we had to ring the intercom to the main house to enter the property. Luckily somebody was home to open for us. We would have been stranded if nobody was home.
We were not given instructions to open the driveway gate, only for the front door. Three bedrooms which could sleep 6, yet only seating for 3 on a couch and one chair in the lounge. Not enough crockery to use the dishwasher. Lovely base to explore the small villages around.
