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...).

United KingdomA very comfortable dorma bungalow set in a beautiful location with views from the hosts front garden across to Fintra Beach. Both bedrooms had en-suite facilities but the loft room does have limited head hight in places so best to let taller guests have the downstairs bedroom. We enjoyed a cosy stay here and ate out in Killybegs as it wasn't far to travel and was well worth it.

Brilliant hosts! We really wanted a chilled weekend with our family and they gave the space for this but equally were so available if we needed them. Being able to bring our pup on a holiday was amazing and the hosts were so accommodating of this. Property and view were brilliant!

IrelandJust a few things we weren’t aware the property is beside the main house so views are gorgeous but not as visible from the apartment, the mattress in the attic bedroom wasn’t as comfortable as the mattresses in the downstairs bedroom, a suggestion also may be better to have 2 small doubles in the downstairs room instead of the single and king
Property is beautiful finishes are excellent hosts very friendly and helpful and Marley the dog extra bonas, fintra beach is beautiful and locals very friendly also.

United KingdomWe liked everything about the property and the owners!
The facilities were above expectation. Induction hob, oven, microwave, pots, pans, fridge, freezer, crockery etc... Massive TV with streaming and Netfix/Youtube etc... in the kitchen/living area. Probably more than you have at home. The property is up a small/tight country lane which makes it even better. The view is beautiful. Plenty of parking. Dog friendly. Heating and hot water on tap. The hosts were perfect, great craic. Very welcoming. Nothing was too much trouble,,, even dropping us into Killybegs and picking us up again. When they tell you to treat the place as if you live there, they really mean it. And you only have to knock on their door if you need anything, thank you Mick and Eileen. Marley the dog is the friendliest wee dog ever. We will definitely be booking again.
