Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

United StatesThere's nothing to not like, it doesn't take much understanding to find peace here. Some have mentioned the dampness, Ireland can be that way, and this is a wonderful old farm house that's been in the same family for over 100 years. Patricia is a wonderful and considerate host who has lived here her entire long life. Some have mentioned the condition of some things -- it's an old farmhouse, with it's quirks and history -- the furniture are antiques! You'll find the same conditions at most out-of-the-city B&Bs. If I had to pick one thing to improve I'd say the WiFi/internet. I'm an impulsive traveler, I follow "no where to be and all day to get there" which is how you discover what's worth seeing when you get there. Cell connectivity is as expected in the farmland. Patricia does know what to see, even so discover it for yourself, so a faster wifi would have helped if-only on the planning side (and with the right perspective it can be a bonus -- but wifi has become important). You can move from city to city if that appeals to you, or you can return to the same convenient place with easy parking every night, and simply relax.
Breakfasts were wonderful! Proper Irish: 2 or 3 strips of bacon, sausage, perfect eggs, cereal, with several kinds of home made bread, and several kinds of home made jams to enjoy, AND at your convenience -- simply call 20m before. The location is perfect, 30 min to Kilkenny, and 30 minutes to Waterford. Even Midleton @90min is somewhat convenient as it's just an hour past Waterford which begs for proper breakfast here, then lunch in Midleton, and dinner in Waterford -- eat at Jack Meades, and take the ferry across and continue to Wexford)! See the Cairn, climb Brandon Hill and take in the distant views of most of mid-south Ireland!

IrelandGiven that breakfast is served late, it would be nice to have a kettle in the room.
Pets are welcome at this authentic country home, there are some very nicely converted outbuildings, and the house is decorated with the owner's original artworks!

AustraliaRoom - we were placed in an attic room for 2 nights. Very small room. Double bed against one wall so I had to climb in and out of bed over my partner. Very small window that was closed. Room felt musty, dark due to minimal natural light. Upholstery on chairs old and grubby looking. I didn't want to sit on them. Separate building behind house was meant to be a common area with a small kitchette for guest to use if wanted to cook their own meal. This was a great concept however atrium end plants over grown and dirty. Kitchnette too small to be functional, basically the size of a pantry and unclean. We washed everything before we used when trying just to cook a few eggs and make a cup of tea. Breakfast - this is a part of what you pay for however only served at 10 am. When asked could we have earlier the owner considered 9.30 but really was not keen. 10 am is too late for people travelling. Every other place we have stayed at over a four week holiday offers breakfast at 8 am and some will do earlier when they know you have some distance to travel. The owner offered to leave some cereal and scones/bread out for us. Scones and bread were very stale, unedible. We sorted our own fruit and cereal the second day. We felt the owner really did not understand that we were a paying customers and a reasonable service was required.
Nice setting. Has the potential to be great but is looking run down ie garden becoming overgrown, furnishings in our room old requiring attention, common area a separate room at the back unclean and unkept. Walk to hill at back nice. Owner has an eye for colour so house is interesting

Beautiful house in a wonderful location. Patricia the owner could not be more helpful and friendly. Huge garden to sit in and plenty of walks on Patricia's land to enjoy. And dogs allowed (hard to find in Ireland).

United StatesThe smell of mold and mildew was overwhelming, spiders, webs and the pictures on your site show a nice place but today the house is totally covered in vines, other plant life and trees. We paid for 2 nights but only stayed 1 night and had to wear mask while sleeping so we could breathe, was told we should have left door open all night. Furniture was broken with exposed nails, fruit bowl had molded fruit, we left 1st thing in morning without breakfast and having paid in advance, was told no refund. Felt like we were scammed by pictures from many years ago

United KingdomThe driveway as I was leaving 😢
Where do I start? To me, this accommodation was my own version of Nirvana. And to make it even better Patricia was a fantastic host and chef! My hubby and I stayed in the barn. I’m not great with stairs but when I walked in I was gobsmacked! Patricia’s paintings everywhere (and available to purchase) the furniture, wood burner - just everything was beautiful. There was also a bathroom on this floor with shower. Then a spiral staircase to the mezzanine with double bed. We had dinner one night and was served a beautiful 3-course meal. You are a superb chef!!! Patricia suggested several walks on her land and I would recommend the walks - they are lovely. We also loved wandering round Patricia’s gardens which have some lovely trees and shrubs. Loads of insect life 🐞🐝🦋
