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 and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). 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.).

IrelandWhen someone turns on a tap, the pipes make a bit of a racket, so at night when trying to sleep, it can get a bit annoying. Not the fault of the house but do not forget insect repellent as being slightly up the hill/mountain you are prone to having midges and mosquitoes, their bites can be very itchy (Once again, not the fault of the house)
House was fabulous, very clean and so spacious for all of us to enjoy. It is kept to a high standard and was well equipped with everything we needed and more. Lovely chalk board message and gifts to welcome us as we arrived. Host was very friendly and went out of her way to help us in any way possible. Loads of toys, board games and books to keep the young and old occupied. We were lucky with the weather and with such a lovely outdoor area to utilise, it was just blissful.

IrelandThe house was perfect for us and the host was so welcoming. Three of my friends and I along with our kids rented this house for a few days. There was plenty of room for all of us , the house was so spacious, cosy and filled with light from the lovely big windows. It was close to Wildlands, which is where we went on one of the days . It was also close to Bearna and right beside Spiddal , which is beautiful especially the pier walk. We were so lucky with the weather while we were there so we got to enjoy it all the more.We didn't want to leave!! Planning our return trip to this beautiful place already.

United KingdomThe house is stunning and a gorgeous place to stay for a couple of days. Very spacious, with enough room for the 13 of us that stayed there. The kitchen is well equipped for cooking together and enough room to sit. Beds were comfy and everyone enjoyed their stay and kept saying they would hope to come back! The host is really responsive, and very helpful with suggestions about things to do in the local area and even left a delicious cake and a bottle of bubbles for us to enjoy on arrival. Couldn't recommend more.

This is a great house to stay in with a few friends. 7 of us went down and loved it. The house is warm, spotless, very well fitted out and comfortable. We cooked our meals there and the kitchen had all the equipment and gadgets you need. Our host Deirdre could not have been better, kept in contact to make sure we were OK...... Even left us a Welcome Gift to get us started! We will definitely come back here again.

IrelandThe was nothing that we did not like about this property. Everything was just perfect
The property is exceptionally spacious inside and out. It is lovely and bright and beautifully furnished to a very high standard. It is equipped with everything you could possibly need and more. The property is located in a quiet residential area, a perfect retreat from busy city life. The garden surrounding the property is absolutely immaculate. Gorgeous touch from the host, Deirdre, who left a bottle of prosecco and fruit cake, the sentiment was very welcome and much appreciated. Once we were settled she came to welcome us personally and recommended some local attractions. We loved it so much we did not want to leave ! We would not hesitate to book this property again, we've already recommended it to family members.

United StatesNothing... there is absolutely nothing that we didn't like!
We absolutely loved this home and we didn't want to leave! Deirdre was great at communicating before and during our stay. We were here in March, and the weather was very rainy,but this is a great home to cozy up indoors! We were a group of 6 women, and we watched movies and sipped wine and enjoyed a little spa treatment with Deirdras' wonderful product, seaweed face mask. Our skin felt so amazing afterward! The bedrooms were all and more than we had hoped for. They had very comfortable beds and a lot of space. We needed to do laundry, and the washer and dryer worked great. There is plenty of space and a rack to hang dry clothes as well. Seriously, we absolutely loved this home, and we will always cherish the memories here!

Teach na Mara was the perfect retreat for an extended family of 13 to explore the delights of An Spidéal. Six bedrooms (and more bathrooms than you could share a stick at) ensured peace and tranquility. The welcome board was a gorgeous personal touch, and the gorgeous treats. There were great facilities, the kitchen had everything we needed to cook for the family, beautiful decor, plenty of parking, room to run around for the little ones all contributed to a wonderful family weekend in an Gaeltacht. Go raibh math agat, Deirdre.
