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 StatesEven though we knew it was a bit of a walk into town it felt further when the rain pelted down. Personally I prefer being able to see the cereals, fruit and yogurt and dishing that up myself. The cooked breakfast was delicious.

United KingdomThat we couldn't stay longer :)
Absolutely magnificent house and welcoming family. Superbly preserved history throughout yet we still had high speed strong wifi. The grounds were stunning and it felt very rural with deer at night eating fallen apples. The location and views are second to none. Hannah and Nina were perfect hosts going out of their way to make our stay really lovely. The breakfast was beautiful with a large range of delicious options, excellent irish bread and brack, fresh fruit, smoked salon, scrambled eggs and much more. A perfect stay and we plan to come here again, Thank you!

CanadaNot related to the property - We couldn’t source an uber to head into the pub to the night.
Best place we’ve stayed on our trip yet. Hannah, her daughter, Nina, and her granddaughter are the sweetest hosts - we felt so welcome and when we left, it felt like I was saying goodbye to my own Grandmother. The breakfast was delicious with Hannah’s homemade bread and jam. She doted on us and ensured we were comfortable. Her grandson Luca wrote out the history of the home (see attached photos). The home is decorated with historical timepieces but all the modern amenities were available. A large shower and separate shower- plenty of hot water as I had my first bubble bath on this trip. Big windows and the ability to open were a treat. Well loved furniture in the living room with a large TV if you care to tune into a show. The bed was firm but comfortable, a short walk into town but enough distance to be a quiet relaxing space (leaving your windows open at night without the blaring noise of the roadway). There was another couple staying (clearly in another wing) and we didn’t even know it until we met them at breakfast. There is such a spacious location. A sweet treat was the tiny black kitten that welcomed us outside - perhaps a neighbour’s cat, we didn’t see her again but she was a sweet welcoming party when we arrived.

Hannah and her grand daughter were lovely hosts. Gorgeous old style home with beautiful antique furniture. Beautiful views across the bay. Delicious freshly cooked full Irish breakfast. Good quality sausages fab brown soda bread. Really comfy beds. Drove in late at night to be met by a herd of deer grazing on the lawn !! For a genuine Irish hospitality experience, rather than a boring generic hotel I would recommend this lodge!!
