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.).

It was a perfect and cozy place and we could visit all goals in bantry, killarney and Cork with ease. It was our 6 trip to Ireland and absolutely the best cottage we had since.

United KingdomHaving to leave the Cottage. For us there wasn't anything not to like.
Communications with Frances, The Host were great from the start. Engaging & Friendly. You got a good vibe before you arrived. Directions to the Cottage VIA Eircode which brings you to the door. Entry instructions clear & precise, simple. Location is rural however close to the nearest village which was exactly what we were after. Perfect spot to tour & discover West Cork. The Welcome pack Frances laid on went way over & above our expectations. Other reviews had complimented Frances however she had thought of everything & so much more. Frances takes enormous pride in her cottage & how it is presented. Lots of work has gone in to making sure the stayers have the best possible experience. Attention to detail would be a good Moto for Tilly's Cottage. The litmus test is would I recommend Tilly's Cottage to Friends / Family & would I return for another visit. The answer is 100% yes.. The Cottage did not get a 9.9 rating by accident. Lots of effort, hard work & thought has gone into this property by the owner. Thank you Frances for the opportunity to stay in your wonderful house which I know you are extremely proud of. Hope to see you some time soon.

Frances is a wonderful host. Thank you very much for the big welcome basket! Very clean and comfortable, spacious, beautiful and quiet location. You can take many nice trips from there (Mizen Peninsula, Sheeps Head, Garinish Island, Clonakilty, Ring of Beara, ...).

IrelandHighly recommend! Frances is a wonderful host. Thank you very much for everything. The local produce samples were delicious. The house was spotless. Love the wooden features. Very relaxing. Kitchen fully functional. It was important to us, as we love cooking. Lots of pots, oven, blender... Lots of cups and plates. We were able to use fireplace, which made the living room even cosier. The view from the window is priceless. Location is perfect. Very close to Durrus and Bantry. We really enjoyed our stay.

IrelandThe only thing I didn't like was getting rid of your own rubbish. First House I stayed in with that rule. But the recycling facility is close and inexpensive so its no big deal.
The house is in a fabulous location.Just open the front door to a breathtaking view. It is spotlessly clean and has everything you could possibly need. Plus the host has thought of everything that you could possibly need. I couldn't recommend it anymore. Ideal location for a quiet break. You can visit beaches woods shops whatever you like .

United KingdomWe had a fantastic week in a beautiful Tilly's Cottage. The house was perfect for us: warm, homely, comfortable and peaceful. Very well organised and had everything we needed. It made our holiday in West Cork all the more enjoyable. We loved the fabulous scenery and view of Dunmanus Bay. We would definitely recommend it for a quiet rural stay. We hope to back in the future.

IrelandThis property is really lovely, It has everything you need for a nice break away. There is lots of space and it is very comfortable. The house was spotless. The WiFi was really good so a rainy day you could chill and watch netflix. It is a 15 minute drive away from Bantry where there are lots of good restaurants. Frances our host left us a lovely hamper upon arrival and provided a really good guide book for the area. We had a lovely week away. This property is ideal for families and couples.

IrelandThe house is extremely well maintained everything was fresh and spotless The kitchen/dinning area was spacious including space for a comfortable couch..For those cooking enthusiastics ,the crockery is beautiful ,the cooking utensils were fab great for exchanging cooking tips The bedrooms were also spacious.very comfortable beds ,the master bedroom had a king sized bed and cot. All 3 bedrooms were beautifully decorated.The front sitting room was very comfortable with good view of the bay a bit of a distance away. A separate building at the side of house provided good laundry facilities each bedroom had hair dryers .I would highly recommend this property. Our host Frances was very friendly and helpful and provided an amazing welcome pack of local produce to set you up without going near a shop for your arrival.
There was nothing about the house that we did not like.The location was suitable for our needs in every way It is however a bit of a drive away from Durrus village 5 mins not for those whom like to walk to a pub or restaurant 😀
