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...).

CanadaCleanliness was good but some areas would’ve benefitted from a more thorough clean -the front entrance way was cobwebby, smudgy tv screen, etc. One of the showers didn’t work during our stay.
Large, spacious, home, convenient location and access to Kilronan Castle. Communicative host.

IrelandWould have loved more USB points or charger in the house. Little touch like carton of milk in fridge or other essentials would have been great although the host did provide other items such as dishwasher tablets, cookware etc.
Good location. Perfect for travelling with kids or large group.Only a couple of minutes walk to the castle.

A lovely house to stay in with very comfortable beds. Food in the adjacent Kilronan Castle hotel is excellent. A great area for walks and hill climbing. Great scenery. Lots of places of megalithic interest to see.

IrelandThere was a bit of clarification required on how it was charged (e.g. per person/per bedroom/per house??) which needed to be clarified - not clear upon booking. Also, no heat was on at time of arrival (which had been requested and confirmed) - had to find out how to set and wait for unit to heat up.
Booked house for my wife and a couple of her friends to celebrate an occasion. Great location, close to castle, and unit was very clean and tidy.

IrelandFabulous house on the grounds of Kilronan Castle. All the comforts of home and lots of space along with having the convenience of the facilities of the hotel on hand. We had breakfast and dinner in the hotel. I highly recommend this house. The host went above normally expected helpfulness with us, and was most accommodating. Her son also helped us, and he was a lovely polite young man.

United KingdomI hope to be honest in my review, and I am saddened by the hosts attitude towards us as guests. Overpriced for the lack of attention to detail at the property. It could be easily resolved by the host. So hopefully, it will be in the future, but do check first. We found issues with the property. I approached the host privately after we had left with pictures we took on arrival. I did not contact the host during the stay as we had a full schedule, and the issues were not quick fixes. I was also put off by the initial interaction with the host that I will mention below and did not want any altercations during our stay. The host may live nearby, but we were unaware of this at the time of our stay. The host must have been aware that repairs were needed to the property in advance of our stay but did not inform us of any issues with the accommodation. I can't fault the location of the property, which is lovely. However, when I raised the issues we experienced with the host privately, she was rude and certainly not interested in taking any responsibility for maintenance needed at her property to make it safe for guests. The host made a threat that she would 'ensure other hosts knew about me...' When I raised a complaint about my stay with booking.com. I had tried to raise it privately with her first to avoid a negative review. I know these reviews are not helpful for hosts, but I do not appreciate threats. I will list some of the issues we found below. This is not an inclusive list but will give you a general idea. The host said we left at 11.30. We left just before 10.30, which was our check-out time. The host was not there when we left, so she is not sure why she thinks we left later than we did. The shower in the main bathroom was not safe. It is not safe to have a shower turned on and off via an extractor fan pull cord.
The location is amazing. The house has the potential to be fantastic. The castle grounds are lovely and it is a beautiful part of the country The beds were comfortable and well made, plenty of towels provided. WI-FI.

IrelandWe had a very relaxing stay in one of Kilronan's self-catering houses. The house was very clean and it was well stocked with everything we needed. The house is a very short walk to the castle itself, which was lovely for going to the pool with the children and for having meals out.
