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.).

IrelandSlight negative, cattle shed below and they roar at milking or feeding time. Not a big deal. Storage heaters expensive if you run them constant.
You get what it says on the tin. All the facilities needed, comfortable and clean. Location is lovely only 3KM outside doonbeg. Local to all the sites. We had a wedding in Spanish point. Only €60 for a taxi for 6 at 3am home. Views are fabulous and I’d say it super in the summer BBQ and beers at the front. Bottle bin was handy and recycling bin also.

IrelandThe cottages could do with a little updating, the bedroom with the two single beds was tiny and not enough room for two people. We just moved people around and it was fine. Would be better as bunk beds as no room to move between beds.
The location was perfect. Close to lots of places - Kilkee, Doolin, etc. The people who run the cottages are very friendly and helpful. Any issues we had were dealt with quickly and with no fuss. The views are spectacular! It felt very safe.

IrelandThe flys caused by farm land out of control of the owner
The location was lovely, we were unlucky with the weather and the neighboring farmers had sprayed the fields which drew flys.

United KingdomThe pressure on the shower wasn't great but that could be because you are in a remote part of Ireland. Also a small amount of crockery in the kitchen/lack of glasses.
It's a great location. The team that run it are lovely. The cottage we stayed in had everything we needed. The view is stunning

United KingdomNot a criticism really , but potential guests might want to ensure they bring everything with them , even soap! I've got used to there being some basic elements to start you off like milk, tea coffee, salt etc, but there was nothing like that. Given its a couple of miles to Doonbeg it's easier to make sure you've brought your own supplies. Never been anywhere else that required guests to pay for towels too.
This was a spacious house with pleasant views.

IrelandThere was nothing I didn’t like about the property.
We went as a family and had 3 cottages and all were fantastic. All fully furnished, you have everything you need (just your shopping is all that you’ll need). Quite spacious and had that original cottage feel and look, which was amazing.
