Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

Loved everything. Beautiful, rural cottage with everything we needed. The separate toilet isn't a major thing. The cottage is perfect.

IrelandI wasn't aware there would be sheep in the field next to the cottage. My dog could easily have jumped the wall between the 2. I had to have him with me on the lead if we weren't both inside the cottage. That was a bit of a pain as a solo traveller.
The charming cottage, in a perfect setting - close to lots of hikes. The peace and quiet. The hot tub🥰

United KingdomThe cottage is perfect. It's a very old cottage and it was beautiful. The views are stunning. Did a 7.5 hour hike and drank prosseco in the hottub after. The cottage a relaxing trek back in time but also has all the modern amenities one could require Gas stove, tv, wifi Hot Tub takes a bit of figuring out but again was wonderful using it on the second night after our hike. Heated it up to hot on the first night. Very difficult to get the temperature down so be patient with it don't overfill. The cottage gets a bit damp in the room. Again this is normal with old cottages so its not a problem for us but if you are staying here I would advise putting on the radiator in the room a bit before bed. There is also a heater for the bed that we put on. We went during summer so it was warm however if you are travelling during autum or spring pack warm clothes.

Quaint authentic Irish cottage that oozes charm! Set in the beautiful Mourne Mountains with phenomenal views! Hot tub was superb! Cottage contains everything you need. Be prepared for the outside bathroom, if that could be an issue for you (wasn't for us) then this won't be for you. Absolutely fabulous for a relaxing break away.

United KingdomTook around 3 hrs to heat the jacuzzi but that probably couldn't be helped given the cold weather. That said it was worth the wait.
The location and jacuzzi were great. House was very comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay. Would definitely recommend. We loved how quiet and peaceful the place was. The owner was also very helpful when we needed to call her. There was plenty of logs provided for the indoor fire and jacuzzi.

United KingdomWe got interrupted a few times as people walking thought it was still a cottage and just opened the front door when we were sitting watching tv. This happened twice. (Maybe put a sign up for people to know the cottage cafe is closed to avoid further visits.)
Beautiful Cottage. The views are amazing! Hot tub was great once set up. The man that delivered the logs was very friendly and good at explaining how the hot tub worked. ( took around 4 hours to fully heat) I absolutely loved the character of the cottage. Hosts were helpful and only a phone call away. Plenty of logs supplied. The Netflix on the tv was a great bonus as passed the time when waiting for the hot tub to heat. Chippy 8 mins away which was very handy and food was lovely!
