Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

Nothing really, I would've stayed a couple more days!
The attention, Joan was so welcoming. The room was modest but with all the amenities to make you feel at home. Super quiet and clean. I saw rooms that were bigger than mine, but I was there alone and just for 2 nights so I would definitely stay again.

I wish I had looked more closely at how far it is to the town center and train station on foot. It's a little far with luggage and rainy weather, but it's probably ideal with a car.
Breakfast was quite good, and the bathroom was huge. I really appreciated a nice, deep tub to soak in after much travel and walking.

Some hooks to put the towels on would be good. I took suction hooks on our travels and they have been a great help at many of the places we have stayed so we were ok.
Joan , the owner was so friendly and accomodating . The breakfast each day was wonderful. We spent three nights here and found it very homely. It was in a good area for us to be able to explore nearby and also further away as we had a hire car. I would highly recommend the Harp to any traveller

There was nothing we didn't like about our stay. For some, this property might be slightly too far away from the town centre but we didn't mind the 15-20 min walk into the centre.
Although our booking was room only, our lovely host Joan let us add on breakfast for 10 Euros each and it was delicious! Aside from breakfast, there was also complimentary tea, coffee and biscuits available in the living room throughout our stay which was lovely. The room was clean and we got a good nights sleep because the area was nice and peaceful :)

Lovely people who own the harp. Although I was too early for breakfast I got something for me that was so nice. It's quite although you wouldn't expect that cause it's a road with many cars using it. Everything was grand, thanks for it.
