Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

The location is overlooking the ocean! Nothing beats that. Fiona’s communication beforehand was excellent. The bed was super comfy and the ingredients to have a quick brekkie was much appreciated

United KingdomThat we wernt able to stay longer
I cannot recommend the venue or its owners highly enough! I will be honest and say we did not have any expectations at all before staying as this was always going to be just a mid point stay over part of our trip around Ireland and we booked it because we wanted something easy and cost effective. Turns out it is going to be the best place, location and experience we could have asked for! We fell in love with Tragumma and most definitely will be coming back! The hosts were lovely and friendly and Paddy the Labrador was just perfect! Thank you Fiona And your family. This is what the true meaning of.a “hidden gem” is!

We loved meeting Fiona, the owner, and her dog Paddy and Paddy's good neighbour friend. We loved the remote cute area above the harbour where the Lookout was located. There was a very friendly pub within a 3 minute walk down a little hill which served food in the evening. The area was very scenic, with cliffs and waves crashing on the rugged shoreline. There were a number of walking trails nearby, which Fiona described in a booklet in the room.

CanadaA few towel rails and a chair, stool or small bench to put your towel or clothes on in the spacious bathroom would be a great addition.
Fiona is a terrific host! She made us feel right at home in her lovely little suite. Although she makes it clear she doesn’t do breakfasts, she is more than generous - we found bread, milk, butter, jams, coffee, tea, cereal and biscuits in the room. We made the suggestion that a small table would be a good addition (the outdoor table and chairs are not always an option in Ireland!) and she ordered one right away! It didn’t come in time for us, but I expect it will be there for her next guests. Now that’s what I call a responsive host! There’s a toaster and kettle, but no microwave. The bathroom sink is where you wash dishes. Tragumna is a little gem of a community and we enjoyed an excellent meal in the pub. There’s a swimming spot just at the foot of the lane. This stretch of coast is not so touristy as Kerry, Dingle or Galway and yet just as lovely. Mizen Head and Barley Cove make an excellent day trip, and even closer is Lough Hyne with warm swimming and a wonderful hike up Knockomagh Hill for great views. Walks or drives in either direction from Tragumna’s lovely beach will bring you to more beautiful coastal scenery. We stayed three nights and could easily have stayed longer and explored more. Lidl at Skibbereen is a short drive for supplies.
