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):
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.
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.).

United StatesI originally got a unit that was very poor condition (read others for reference). After speaking with management, they moved us to another unit, but much better condition.
The facilities including the landscaping and pools were very nice. Second unit we got moved into met our expectations for conditions and quality. Second unit was same standard unit, just better in every way (newer furnishings, cleaner, stronger WiFi, newer AC, better lighting and lamps, and a washing machine).

IrelandI did not like the way the sprinklers would turn on at random times during the night leaving u soaked if u are walking past or if u have towels/clothes drying outside they also got soaked. The staff at bistro sud were extremely unfriendly and that had impacted our stay as it was unfortunate to see them be so horrible not only to us but other guests also.
I loved the area, the numerous pools and 3 bars and restaurants was a great touch. It was easy to navigate and find our villa straight away it had great amenities such as a golf course and tennis court too and just outside the property was a pharmacy and a spar so had a great location.

United KingdomThe reception staff were dissmisive, rude and disinterested. The restaurant staff seemed overwhelmed by the amount of people and it wasnt event peak time when we were there. The length of time from ordering food and drink to them arriving was far too long. E.g it took 1.5hrs for a pizza to arrive and the restaurant was not busy. The choice of good restaurants around the area is poor, your best to get in an taxi and go elsewhere. We went before the whole of the UK and Ireland was on holidays and it was great as it was quiet and not over croweded. On our last 2 days the massess desended from the UK and all I can say is I was glad that we were leaving - so go out of school holdiay time and you will have a great time.
The pools were excellent as were the changing and toilet facilites beside them. The apartment was very spacious, with all the items you need for a holiday with a famliy of 5. The Spar convenience store on site was great for morning coffee. The food on site was good. The golf course was a good 9 holes and the dirving range was fun for golfers. The green fees were reasonable in comparison to other courses in the area. The grounds were well maintained.

Lots of sun loungers, lots of pools. Pools not crowded or really busy. Apt so quiet at night. Very peaceful. A 2 bed apt can easily sleep up to 6 people. Food in bistro and pizza bar was excellent. Our third visit. Great value for money. Spar at end of road sells everything you need and uber for 6 costs about €10-€12 to old town.

IrelandThe staff in the pool restaurant are the rudest I've ever met with the exception of a young girl. They rolled their eyes when asked for something from the menu . We waited an hr for a toasted sandwich, they walked around behind the bar pretending not to see the customers . Their attitude was the talk of the pool area
It was quite in a nice location with plenty of facilities in the resort and around.

IrelandThe apartments are a bit dated, but they are comfortable and homely. Our wardrobe door was broken but didn't bother us.
The grounds are beautiful, and the staff were very helpful & accommodating. Pools are fab too. The size of the apartments are huge. Cleaners came every 2 days to change towels & sheets. Easy to get taxi, uber & bolt. Spar right outside. We would go back.

United KingdomThe apartments felt very tired and needed a complete revamp. We visited 3 different ones in our group and there was no consistent standard in them- completely different furniture and it was quite hitch potch. They could do with modernization. We liked our 2 bed apartment in terms of space and amenities.
The gardens were beautiful and very well kept. Good choice of pools.

United KingdomRenovation works going on from 8am to 5pm across from the villa, not so relaxing to sunbathe listening to a blow torch! Also, villa wasn’t available until about 7pm on day one, when this was questioned the response was ‘we sag FROM 5pm, that doesn’t mean it will be ready for you at 5pm!! Staff are very friendly but there’s not enough of them and they are over-worked
The villa was comfortable for 4 adults, good shower and kitchen.
