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...).

The Wee House was an amazing place to stay. So clean, warm and well equipped. The location is walking distance from Falcarragh shops and pubs. It is a real quiet haven with all required amenities. Eamonn is a professional host who looked after us well. Highly recommended.

United KingdomMyself and my wife had a wonderful 3 night stay at An Teach Beag. The house is perfectly situated to explore the incredible beaches and scenery of the north of Donegal, and most importantly, it's a five minute walk to the local dog friendly bar. The house is equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay and is impeccably clean. We'll definitely be back!

IrelandThat we had to leave it 😂 it was perfect!
We just loved Teach Beag. It is finished to such a high standard and it really is very cosy and tasteful with a feel of luxury. The decor is beautiful, there are some lovely little touches that make it feel very special. We were so impressed as soon as we walked in the door. Eamonn, our host was so welcoming and helpful. He went to great lengths to make sure we knew where everything was and how it worked. He also gave us lots of local information. There were some lovely welcome treats - a fresh wheaten loaf, jams, milk and butter. Just perfect to get us started and for breakfast on day 2. The kitchen is really well equipped. The living room area is so comfortable and the patio doors overlook the outside area which is just delightful - again lots of special, quirky little features out there too. The whole property is spotlessly clean. The location is fantastic. We were able to walk into Falcarragh Village which has plenty of options for groceries, food and drinks and lots of friendly, welcoming locals. We drove to nearby Ballyness Bay which is just stunning! You could also walk, it would probably take about 20 minutes. Our dog was able to join us, which is always a great bonus. We were blessed with lots of sunshine and really enjoyed the coastal drives, amazing scenery, nearby towns and beaches - all without having to drive too far and being able to spend time relaxing in the cottage too. We love everywhere in Donegal but this area really has it all, with the mountains on one side and the rugged coastline and out of this world beaches on the other. You get a very authentic, step back in time feel. Perfect escape! Teach Beag is a beautiful property and a real treat to stay in. We will definitely be booking again!

United KingdomThere was nothing we didn't like. It was perfect for us.
The wee house was cosy, comfortable, and homely. It was immaculately clean. The towels were the fluffiest towels ever!!!! The kitchen was fully equipped with everything you could have needed and more!!!! The complimentary wheaten bread with butter, jam and marmalade was a very thoughtful touch. We were also provided with complimentary condiments, tea, coffee, sugar, and even a coffee machine and pods. A really beautiful, stylish home with a lot of thought and detail of what guests would need to feel relaxed. There was also access to a garden and an outside seating area. Eamon was very welcoming and easy to talk to. Gave us lots of tips of where to eat and drink, as well as near by sites to see.

United KingdomMy partner and I stayed at this property for two nights with our two dogs. Eamonn was the perfect host, and was hospitable and attentive from the moment we arrived. Our stay was extremely enjoyable, and it is clear that Eamonn goes above and beyond for his guests. The property itself can’t be faulted, the hosts have done an amazing job with the interior and making this property homely. The location is ideal, close to many beaches and only a short walk from the local shops, bars and restaurants. To conclude, I would highly recommend this property to anybody visiting Donegal. We will be recommending it to our family and friends, and we would definitely visit again without hesitation! Goodluck for the future Eamonn! 😊

United KingdomWe had an amazing couple of days at An Teach Beag! It was a little home away from home. Eamonn was the perfect host, with every room feeling homely and very tastefully finished. It had everything we needed. Home-made wheaten and jams were the perfect welcome!! We will definitely visit again. Thank you both!!

IrelandThis place is like a fairy-tale cottage, perfected in every detail. The owner warmly welcomes guests with fresh bread, homemade jams, and locally made butter. The fridge is stocked with fresh milk for your tea or coffee, and the coffee machine, complete with a supply of coffee, is ready to use. From the moment you step inside, you feel the positive energy of this space—cozy and beautifully decorated interiors, with a kitchen equipped with everything you could possibly need. There are woolen blankets, fluffy towels, and a detail that truly touched me: even a hot water bottle dressed in a soft, furry cover. I’ve traveled to many places across Ireland and Europe, but I’ve never encountered a place this clean and well-maintained. I wholeheartedly recommend it. The location is fantastic too—close to the town, pubs, shops, and the beach. Thank you, Eamonn, for taking such wonderful care of your guests!

IrelandThis little house is clean, cozy and comfortable with quirky little features throughout. We were greeted by Eamonn the owner who showed us around. We were thrilled with the brownbread homemade jam, marmalade and butter that was left for. Had the weather Bern nicer we would have enjoyed sitting out in the enclosed sunny garden. Again the garden had lovely quirky art work, really very pretty. A home away from home. Peaceful, quiet, warm and cozy. very well located whether you enjoy the mountains or the beach.

Eamonn was an excellent host. He met us personally and showed us all the facilities. The house is immaculate, pristine and beautifully furnished. Lots of lovely touches such as complimentary wheaten bread, jam, marmalade, butter and milk and coffee pods. The house has been lovingly furnished with comfortable and stylish accessories. On the road to the stunning local beach and a short walk into the town. It really is a hidden gem. Forget about Dunfanaghy. This is the spot!

United KingdomAfter giving considerable thought to this question, we cannot think of any improvement opportunities.
Eamon was very helpful prior to our arrival regarding location, and there to meet when we arrived at The Wee House, proving equally helpful and informative about the immediate area and its restaurants. We would certainly not hesitate to recommend the accommodation to our friends. It is probably the best place that we have ever rented.
