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 use a weighted review system which means that 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 wasn’t anything we didn’t like!
The location was excellent and central to places to see not on the coast. The charm and character were warm and welcoming! The staff and their customer service was so personable!

United StatesWe had an incredible time here. The house and property are impressive and you could tell there's been a lot of thought and time and effort put into it. The house and rooms are in exceptional condition. Clean, modern, and comfortable. I didn't know about, or notice, the hot tub when booking, but experiencing a soak under the stars was not only recuperative but an wonderful memory. If things couldn't get better, we only had to sleep. Ciara prepared an Irish breakfast that was truly special. All local ingredients, including some very local eggs. Look, this is a phenomenal place to stay. If you need a central homebase to see Rock of Cashel and Cork, this is it. Stop, you found it.

Exceptional accommodation with a real attention to detail from the interior design to food ( breakfast) and one of the best honesty bars i’ve come across. Ciara has clearly put a lot of love into this renovation. Plenty of outdoor space - we were lucky to have stayed in a hot evening - so sat with a bottle of wine in the sunshine .

IrelandThe walk into Mitchelstown by old historic work house was lovely. However, the last bend on the road into town was extremely dangerous, crossing for pedestrians onto the road into the town. A foot bridge inside this road would be welcomed for tourist safety.
The owner, Ciara, was amazing. She connected in via WhatsApp message the day before to confirm arrival time. We were delayed as we needed to charge our car at Cashel, but Ciara said she had car charging facilities, which was fantastic. We were welcomed with a lovely friendly smile and given a tour of the renovated cottage and facilities which are amazing, we enjoyed the lovely out buildings and hot tub

IrelandHonestly, nothing!
We loved everything about our stay at Barnahown, Mitchelstown. The accommodation is beautiful, every detail has been chosen with care by the owner Ciara so that it looks lovely, feels comfortable and everything is sourced locally, from the lemonade in the fridge to the artwork on the walls and the keys to the bedroom doors. We had two great nights of sleep and fabulous breakfasts. Ciara was very helpful in meeting my special dietary requirements. The food was delicious! The hot tub is a delight with great views of the mountains and fragrances from the garden which has been lovingly planted and promises to be even more special as it grows. We also really appreciated Ciara taking the time to create an itinerary for us, and we had a fantastic day enjoying both a walk and visiting some local sights. It really was the most enjoyable stay and we hope to be back again in the future!

United StatesWish we had stayed more than one night, but we do plan to be back!
Ciara is an absolutely delightful host -- welcoming, friendly and passionate about her B&B and about building the local community. She has a keen eye for design and has done an amazing job renovating the place. The overall ambience is just great. We are breakfast people, and her offering was top notch, with delicious locally sourced ingredients and thoughtful attention to detail. We also enjoyed meeting the local calves just behind the jacuzzi area. We will definitely return and look forward to seeing the results of her phase two expansion!

SwitzerlandWe had a truly wonderful experience at this charming B&B. The place is new and beautifully maintained, with every detail thoughtfully taken care of. The décor is tasteful, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Our room was spotless and the beds were incredibly comfortable – we slept like babies! We enjoyed a generous and delicious breakfast featuring fresh, local products. It was the perfect way to start the day. A special mention goes to Ciara, whose kindness and hospitality made us feel completely at home from the moment we arrived. She truly goes above and beyond to make her guests feel comfortable. We can’t recommend this place enough!!!
