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...).

IrelandOur only regret was having stayed for only 1 night. This is a place to stay longer.
Goleen Harbour is a fabulous place. If you are looking for a relaxing atmosphere by the sea, then look no further. Our cabin had everything we needed - cooker, oven, shower, a comfortable bed - not to mention the stunning sea view. The surroundings are very quiet and we got to enjoy some peaceful and happy moments. We met Shawn on arrival and he was super nice, giving us a very warm welcome and telling us about some great things to do in the area.

IrelandNothing really
The location is absolutely beautiful, we stayed in Fastnet cabin and it had great sea view. I was a bit concerned about heating as we visited in December but you can set up the thermostat to your liking and it was really warm and cozy. The cabin had great design and large windows that allow you take in all of the views. It was a fantastic experience

IrelandThe check out time at 10am was quite early. I appreciate they do have to be cleaned but they aren’t cheap and for 1 night when check in is 3pm and checkout is 10am it doesn’t give you a lot of time to explore the next day without rushing back to try and get out. Especially coming into winter when it’s dark at 5pm. You would definitely need more than 1 night there but again it isn’t cheap! But that would be my only qualm.
It was so beautiful, such a nice place and clean

IrelandWe only had a very short time here but the stay was exceptional. The view from the cabin was breathtaking and it was equipped with everything you could need. We booked the hot tub and it is a once in a lifetime experience getting to relax in the fire-heated tub while overlooking the Atlantic. Shawn checked us in and set up the hot tub for us and gave our experience the X-factor by recommending we visit Dunlough Castle. Thank you for making this stay so special and we will definitely be back!!

AustraliaWas disappointed to have to pay 35EU to use the spa that was said to come with the accommodation (although I understand why, as it takes time to light it and uses up wood) No issue for me- but for other travelers- the toilet at the dome is a well designed dry toilet (bag and sawdust) but there is a flushing toilet less than 100m away. Again not an issue for me- but for other travelers- the “beach” is rock entry (climb and jump in) a beautiful area though.
The geodome is superb. Spectacular view from inside. We watched the sky change from sundown to moon up. Comfy bed, choice of wood fire or heater in room. Layout well thought- great to have full kitchen to use. We had a lovely relaxing couple of days to rest after lots of traveling. Sean was friendly and welcoming and Matt allowed us a late checkout. Thanks- we loved this place.

CanadaFirst line of description says, "This tent comes with a hot tub". The hot tub is not by the tent, and is shared. Its not open for use, and you need to book the hot tub for a private session. We didn't bother as we had a child and needed to stay near tent. Disappointed was not a private, personal use, hottub as I interpreted the description.
The location and quiet is beautiful. Right on the water, you have amazing views and stunning sunsets. Bed is super comfy, and large. Beautiful sea views over night. Great decking to watch the sun go down, or dolphins pass by. Didn't use the fire place, but wood was supplied for us.

IrelandThe driveway up to cabins was very rough and car was scraping along however this is possibly due to recent bad weather and perhaps in summer may not be an issue. Although not a deal breaker a microwave would be very convenient in the cabin.
Host was very helpful and friendly and responsive,The Cabin was lovely and warm, with option to increase or decrease temp whenever needed, it's a peaceful area and has nice views of the sea.
