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...).

United StatesNothing. The roads are a bit scary to drive on at night if you’re not from here, but worth it in our opinion.
This B&B is a rare gem. The owners were so welcoming, kind and informative. The room was adorable with everything we could have needed plus anything else we might not have thought of. There are so many amazing and adorable touches throughout the home and it was so enjoyable. The breakfast was delicious and came with great company and conversation. We lost power because of a crazy rain/wind storm and within minutes Michaela was at our door with some candles. It was so cozy we didn’t even miss the electricity. Don’t hesitate to book here.

IndiaNothing as such.
The owner of the B&B, Michaela, is an extremely warm, engaging and lively person. We enjoyed our conversations with her during breakfast the next day. She prepares and serves breakfast for her guests herself, thereby adding a personal touch. Even though our stay was short, we felt the warmth that she radiated in such a short time of acquaintance. The house is located in a beautiful setting that gives a view of the mesmerising sunrise on the Atlantic Ocean. Michaela also gave us recommendations on nice places to visit, like the picturesque Downpatrick Head, which is located close by.

United StatesCan't think of anything...
Michaela was a wonderful host. From the time that we walked into her home, the welcome was warm and welcoming. She provided many suggestions for us to consider for our visit. The amenities that were made available for personal use were thoughtful and generous because in other bed and breakfast experiences that we've had, coffee, tea and a cookie are in the room but Michaela provided so many different options for the traveler's comfort. There was even a tiny refrigerator to keep a few small items from our journey. Breakfast was AMAZING with options for a full Irish Breakfast to a simple cereal, fruit and yogurt option. Travelers beware.... Michaela provided specific directions for how to arrive at Sunrise View. Do NOT follow the google route which is a bumpy, pot-holed road. We wished that we would have followed Michaela's instructions. I highly recommend Sunrise View for a journey's rest. Thank you, Micheala, for a wonderful stay.

United KingdomNo complaints.
Michaela and her hubby were the best B&B hosts we have ever met by a country mile! Friendly, welcoming and extremely accommodating with our special requests. Her breakfast was simply fabulous. The location was fairly remote but close to Downpatrick Head. The room had somewhat quirky decorations but was comfortable and clean. Bathroom was gigantic with a powerful flashing shower head! We had a wonderful stay and ended up chatting over breakfast with our hosts way past our departure time!

I would like to say a few words about this B&B. It is the best B&B I have ever stayed in. Michaela is a very nice smiling host, her house is very beautiful, tidy and smells clean, the Irish breakfast was made from their farm's chickens and duck eggs, plentiful, tasty and perfectly presented, the house is located in a great, quiet place near downpatrick head, in one word, you will find everything you need in this house, I recommend it to everyone 100%, we will definitely come back im.Thanks Michaela 10/10
