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...).

GermanyThe shower could have a bit more power ;) but we expected that and planned the washing of our long hair for another day.
All is as described - we slept so deep! Susie cleans it all herself and you „feel“ that! It’s perfect. Due to the remote location you could easily miss it - we imported the words 3 words location in Google map and found it without problems

ItalyThe roads are narrow and so the Pod isn't really easy to reach.
The pod is comfortable for visiting the Connemara, a relaxing experience in the nature.

United KingdomLocation was the only small issue for us, we struggled with food and supermarkets but there was a few shops for any necessities.
Had an amazing stay at Earls View. The weather didn’t play ball but we made the most of it. The pod was so cosy and comfy. Susie recommended some amazing walks which really helped us out for things to do in the area. Would love to go back.

IrelandThe only thing was that the stay wasn't long enough .
The plus sides were the absolute peace and quiet of the location . The pod had everything that you could need for your stay it was immaculately clean the bed was so comfortable and you were far enough from the other pod that you felt completely alone ..

What a glorious find. Susie and Tom have created space of heaven here: the views (just wow), the proximity to the beach, the pod which is equipped to perfection, the perfect outdoor area… I could go on. Highly recommend taking a trip to Gurteen bay if you’re visiting for longer than a day - about an hour from the pod but worth it for the views on the drive.

IrelandThat we didn't book for a 4th night!
Everything! From the moment we arrived Susie was an excellent host, giving us a guided tour of the Pod, providing us with a Barbeque on request and offering us a detailed itenary of locations to visit and many local walks and beaches we could pick and choose at our own pace. The pod was very comfortable for the 2 of us and really well stocked of all the utensils we might need. This accommodation is in a stunning location, with a calmness and serenity full of nature and ideal for anyone looking to escape a fast paced world. Anyone who is talented enough to paint or sketch would be spoilt for choice in landscapes, flora and fauna. We had both wet and good weather throughout our stay and either didn't hinder our stay as we had a very well covered and private seating area beside our pod. We will definitely return again.

IrelandI fully understand why there is only microwave for 'cooking' . Having a small hob would be a fire hazard in the timber pod, but I missed a normal way to cook something. There is a BBQ outside if you wish. I still think it's 10 out of 10, even when I missed some normal way to cook the breakfast.
The place and pod was lovely, Tom was also nice. Definitely recommending to stay there, totally different experience, the place was spotless. We had fire in the chimnea, so nice in the evening.
