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...).

CanadaRoom had an echo and felt like we were noisy. Had a few tiny issues that my husband brought up to the host, and she was gracious about accepting them.
Waking up to the horses was wonderful, and the view and Bernadette were amazing.

United KingdomWe need to plan dinner and the next morning's breakfast before checking in.
The bathroom and bedroom are bigger compared to other B + B. The bed and duvet are very elegant and clean. We four people ( two rooms) had a very good sleep because it is located on a very quiet and charming farm. Although there is no breakfast provided, guests can store the food in the host's fridge. The host is very friendly and we will go back again to enjoy the quietness before heading to the ring of Dingle.

United KingdomThe only thing I didn't like was handing the key back to board the plane back to the UK.
As always, Murrays mountain was warm and welcoming, spotlessly clean, very very comfortable, it feels like my second home. The views from each room are spectacular, the room itself is huge with ensuite, wardrobe, comfy chairs tv hairdryer, toiletries, kettle tea coffee, biscuits, beautiful matching furniture and soft furnishings, absolutely stunning house. Quite central to so many beautiful places and Bernadette the owner is so knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the area.

GermanyWe stayed for just one night but enjoyed our stay nevertheless. Our room was huge, as well as the bathroom. So it should be a good place to stay for a longer period of time. The surroundings were nice and we took the opportunity for an evening walk. Bernadette is a great host and a very nice person. We had a great chat and she gave us some recommendations for our journey.

An exceptional property Bernadette and Jimmy were just fantastic. The friendliest warmest home we have stated on our trip and that is saying a lot because we’ve had some fantastic hosts.

Wow, what a stay! We have spent the night in many places, but this is the first one where we felt 'at home'. Super friendly and helpful hosts. A very nice, spacious and clean room. Ample parking, nice surroundings and a beautiful house. We would have stayed longer but, with great regret, had to leave due to lack of availability which was not surprising. Thank you Jim and Bernadette.
