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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these countries, 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.).

IrelandOnly one mirror which is fixed to bathroom wall. No access to put heating on when we wanted. It’s all set to timer. Same with hot water. Could do with some outdoor furniture to sit on, to enjoy the stunning surroundings on a warm summers evening 😉
Beds are comfy, shower is fab. The cottage is very compact but has everything you need. Perfect for a family of four.

IrelandThe house wifi as well as our mobile network did not work properly and had disruptions or full stop for hours. We were/are unsure whether it was the problem of connection in that specific neighborhood or the accomodation.
We really enjoyed during our stay in this warm and modern house. Everything we needed was found in the house and Andy was a helpful host. I highly recommend the accomodation.

IrelandThe house was good The only thing we had was that one of the rooms was very cold I don't know if that's cause we arrived quite late and they said their room was very cold throughout the night. But otherwise all good.
It's very easy to find the place. It was handy for what we needed for the short visit. Beds were comfy and facilities were easy to use. I would definitely recommend that there's plenty of parking space available. Also the owner very good communication and answered us when we rang late on our visit and solved our issue.

Irelanduse of heating and shower could be explained better , had to call host to turn on the heating . and even after being on most of the night I couldn't get hot water from the shower . only realised there was a seperate switch located beside the fridge when preparing to leave am thinking it was the imersion could be wrong . But still a nice place .
Location is a bit off the beaten track , if you are looking for peace and quiet it is in a nice area . would make for a nice peaceful rest point for visiting surrounding attractions . would definitley stay again .

United StatesWe could not figure out how to turn on the heating, so the property got quite cold at night and the water was cold for the duration of our stay. Typically I would message the host to sort out how to get the heat going, but it was after midnight by the time we checked in and noticed the issue, and we left the next day.
Wonderful property. Very secluded and private. Easy to find and check into, and easy to find everything we needed around the house.

IrelandIf I had to be one bit critical, the rooms could be fitted with proper wardrobe space.
There aren't many places now adays that supply you with as much turf and firelighters as you need for their lovely old fashioned range, which was so cosy at night. Not to mention there was no additional charge for the electricity. Also, I couldn't get over the fact that there was tea, coffee, sugar, toilet paper, dishwasher tablets along with shampoo & conditioner left in the house. There was a huge TV with free Netflix & WiFi, so the kids were delighted. It certainly was like a home away from home. Would definitely recommend this lovely cottage & would certainly return.

United StatesThe house had a little bit of a smell of mustiness or smoke that could be cleared. It could also be the offgassing of the new vinyl floors.

CanadaNot sure if we caught the proprietor by surprise because we came a couple hours early but the place was not very clean. Tidy for sure, but not clean. Even the floors were muddy when we came in and our 11 m/o kept picking dirt and dust bunnys up from the floor and trying to put them in his mouth. It is also very far from anything, even groceries and hard to find the entrance especially after dark. The wifi was sketchy at best and the heat was a challenge. One room never did heat up the whole time we stayed.
Good amount of space for our little group. It was as described…”very peaceful” The proprietor was responsive when we contacted him about how cold the cottage was and he offered suggestions to fix the situation.
