How guest reviews work
Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

Verified reviewRural setting is gorgeous. The cottage was spacious for 3.
Directions to property should be more specific. We were unfamiliar with EI code as being pivotal and resorted to google map which did not register The Dairy… which was the address stated in the agreement

Verified reviewWe can't recommend the property enough, if you're ever trying to find a place to stay outside of the big cities like Dublin, Cork etc, this is the one you shouldn't miss. A perfectly peaceful, fully equipped cottage surrounded by lush green pastures, yet at the same time not far away from picturesque small villages/towns with beautiful monuments and authentic pubs, on top of that owned by immensely kindhearted family - It's a small paradise for those who want to escape the every day hustle and bustle and discover this magical emerald island, its heartwarmingly kind locals and fascinating history. You will definitely not regret spending a few days in this part of Ireland, we certainly didn't and would more than happily come back anytime.

Verified reviewVery clean and lots of space. Very well laid out. Has all cooking and kitchen facilities needed. Our 2 year old had a fantastic time and Josephine was so kind in letting her use the toys and outdoor space as she wanted. She loved all the beautiful animals too. Such a welcoming and relaxed place, with very friendly hosts. Would love to stay again in the future.

Verified reviewThe Basics were very good: rooms, beds, bathroom, equipment in the kitchen. There is even a deep freeze with ice cubes. The parents of the owners are very friendly.
The eating table is too small, even for the two of us, and high, with high chairs, uncomfortable. We did not use the terrace, because it was too cold and windy, but it looks rather uncomfortable, surrounded by the farming business. The bathroom has obviously been very newly renovated, but why would one place the shower in the middle of it so much of nearly everything gets wet after using ist ?
