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...).

IrelandRoom was very cold until we found heating had not been turned on prior to our arrival - took a while to find hidden radiator valve! Having sorted that, the room was very comfortable. We were not aware the restaurant would be closed on our second day - as a result we had dinner in the bar. Very cramped, different table/chair/bench heights made it very uncomfortable. We asked if we could take our meal to the lounge (which as empty but advised this was not possible. Water available throughout the hotel but not in the room?
Location was perfect. Staff could not have been more cheerful and helpful. Breakfasts were exceptional. Dinner in the dining room was excellent, made more so by ability to mix and match between bar menu and a la carte menu.

AustriaUnfortunately the dinner at the bar was below mediocre. Even though they really focus on having "Michelin" quality food, what I got at the bar for that price was definitely nowhere near higher quality. Maybe because it was off season, but unfortunately that was my impression.
Beautiful hotel, perfect location (astonishing view on the Atlantic), super friendly staff (even got a free upgrade), plenty of parking available.

IrelandI was on a return visit and love going back. The contribution of the staff to the excellent standard of customer service in Dunmore is the benchmark for other hotels. The hotel is beautifully furnished and is so comfortable. We had a room overlooking the sea - comfy bed and excellent shower. The food is locally sourced, of excellent quality and nicely cooked. I really cant say a bad word about this hotel. I look forward to my next visit to Clonakilty and Dunmore House.

A gracious welcome to guests throughout the stay. A stunning outlook over the ocean. Beautiful food, carefully grown, cooked and served with pride. Lovely rooms. An outstanding culture of service and hospitality. Such respect among staff, guests and hotel leadership is a rarity.
