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 reviewFrom the moment you step onto the property, it has a quiet ambience, tranquil, setting, and the cottage is beautiful. It had everything we needed for a spectacular visit. Kevin and Deb are great hosts and were very helpful. I got to feed the horse on the property and play with Tucker the dog. The bed was very comfortable and the facilities very clean. We enjoyed our stay very much

Verified reviewWe had an unforgettable stay at Kevin and Debora's forest cabin. The cabin was a real gem: very clean, cozy, and the warm fireplace heated up quickly and kept us comfortable for hours — the perfect place for a relaxing evening. Kevin and Debora went above and beyond, giving us an incredible experience with a soak in the warm jacuzzi, and from there, we even fed their horses! It was such a unique and amazing moment that we’ll cherish for a long time. The surroundings were like something out of a fairy tale — wild nature, fresh air, and a true sense of being in the heart of the wilderness. Everything was thought out down to the smallest details, and we didn’t need a thing. We are a couple from Ukraine currently living in Ireland, and we came to this cabin to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. The place was absolutely perfect for the occasion. Huge thanks to the lovely hosts; we were so happy with our stay and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful and rejuvenating retreat!
there is no oven, oven, or dishes in the house for cooking
Thank you both for staying with us. We are so glad you enjoyed your 20th wedding anniversary. Many Thanks again, Kevin & Deborah.

Verified reviewWillow lodge is such a beautiful setting! It was so nice to be able to experience Dublin itself whilst having a relaxing, tranquil place to come back to. The hot tub up on the hill was fantastic! Kevin was a great help in making sure we had everything we needed and Tucker the dog is just adorable ❤️ I wanted to take him home! We will definitely book again when we return to Dublin in the future.
Leaving to go home 🥺
