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...).

IrelandWell it took us 3 days to figure out how the induction hob works and the TV wouldn't unmute but it was our fault because we could have asked 😀. My recommendation would be to add pillow protectors. No complaints whatsoever, we would love to come back some day.
We had a lovely relaxing time at The Potter's Lodge. The place is quiet and private, at night you don't hear a sound. Everything is spotlessly clean and very comfortable. In the kitchen we had everything we needed, shower cubicle was spacious. The decor was beautiful. I liked the little cordless hoover which was very easy to use to keep the place spotless during our 4 days stay. The fact that there is no Wi-Fi is no problem because there are boardgames to keep the whole family entertained at the evenings, we had very special time together. Ruth, the owner is very friendly and she left a chocolate and a bottle of wine on our arrival. Thank you!

IrelandNothing we didn't like. Maybe blinds on the 2 windows in the kitchen/living area. A bit of a drive from Carrick on shannon Town, 10-15mins, so I'd imagine would cost a fair bit in a taxi if going for a few drinks.
A beautiful, clean house. Everything that is needed there. Warm and cosy. Quiet location. Ruth, the host had left a bottle of wine and chocolates . Lovely touch.

IrelandNothing to dislike.
I had an idyllic stay at Potter's Lodge. It was so peaceful there-the lodge itself is beautifully designed. I felt very comfortable...reading while also peeking out the picture window at the stone walls and cattle grazing was the mindful experience I had hoped for. I found the location ideal...Carrick is on your doorstep. I plan on returning!
