How guest reviews work
Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We use a weighted review system which means that the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. 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, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done 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 of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

Verified reviewGérard was an amazing host, he had us in stitches with his stories. The first day he brought us homemade scones and apple jelly which was amazing! He told us where the best places to eat are and sent me links to the places we wanted to go. A truly amazing gentleman and we will definitely be back again.
That we didn't book it for longer!
thanks for your kind words.... it was my pleasure and like I said our cottage is your home whilst you stay.

Verified reviewA fantastic thatched cottage in the heart of the Inishowen Peninsula. Genuinely authentic with all the modern amenities you need. Ger was a fantastic host who related the history of the cottage and supplied homemade scones and jam along with honey from his own bees. The fire was lit on arrival and Ger returned the following day to light it again and empty the ashes. He also regaled us with amusing stories and assured us he was only a phone call away if we had any issues. We didn't but nice to know. We have stayed in many cottages in this area and this one is definitely a real taste of times past. We would highly recommend and will definitely return.

Provided with a welcome hamper which was a lovely gesture. Homemade scones and Jam. Delicious. Fire was lit when we arrived which was much appreciated and added to the cosy atmosphere. Situated just a short walk from Carndonagh and close to all amenities. Would highly recommend this place to anyone.
Very little.

Verified reviewA wonderful reminder of Ireland long ago. Beautiful cosy little cottage and Ger had the fire lit when we arrived. He also supplied homemade scones and jam which was so wonderful. He arrived on the second evening to ensure all was right with the fire - very attentive. Would recommend a stay. Walking distance from the town and a short drive from some beautiful locations.
it was lovely to meet you both. glad you had a nice visit.

Verified reviewGer was a great host who made us homemade scones and jam, which were delicious. He even had the fire lit for our arrival. Beds were very comfortable. The cottage is only a short distance from the town. Beautiful Culdaff beach about a 10-15 minutes drive away. We also enjoyed meeting the little goats nextdoor- the farmer was nice enough to show my 4 year old the new baby kid goat getting her bottle. Lovely memories overall.
thank you so much for your kind review. glad the kids enjoyed their stay.

Verified reviewOur host, Ger, was very welcoming and helpful. We found the stove on and a basket full of homemade goodies waiting for us. Tigín Tuí is a small traditional cottage and a great location to explore the Inishowen peninsula. Our dog enjoyed the Donegal break and the traditional atmosphere that radiates from these stone walls. Ger went above and beyond to advise us of the best places to visit. We would definitely go back!
The bed with the wrought iron frame could be updated. Some signage or mention of the wall with red capping, might help find the property.
thank you for your kind words and I will indeed change the bed and put up a sign. I will send you confirmation of doing both.

Verified reviewEVERYTHING This is my second time to stay in this cosy cottage. Gerard rang me to say the cottage was ready and the fire was lit which was very welcome as it was raining. The location is perfect and not far from Carndonagh town. Gerard even left us a jar of honey and nothing seemed to be too much trouble. We are looking at dates to book again during the summer.
Nothing of significance but maybe think about changing the pillows.
thank you for your feedback and new pillows will be purchased tomorrow. It's super to share our love of this place with our visitors and show this is the place where we live and is a haven of tranquility!
