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 KingdomLocation was the only small issue for us, we struggled with food and supermarkets but there was a few shops for any necessities.
Had an amazing stay at Earls View. The weather didn’t play ball but we made the most of it. The pod was so cosy and comfy. Susie recommended some amazing walks which really helped us out for things to do in the area. Would love to go back.

IrelandThe only thing was that the stay wasn't long enough .
The plus sides were the absolute peace and quiet of the location . The pod had everything that you could need for your stay it was immaculately clean the bed was so comfortable and you were far enough from the other pod that you felt completely alone ..

What a glorious find. Susie and Tom have created space of heaven here: the views (just wow), the proximity to the beach, the pod which is equipped to perfection, the perfect outdoor area… I could go on. Highly recommend taking a trip to Gurteen bay if you’re visiting for longer than a day - about an hour from the pod but worth it for the views on the drive.

IrelandThat we didn't book for a 4th night!
Everything! From the moment we arrived Susie was an excellent host, giving us a guided tour of the Pod, providing us with a Barbeque on request and offering us a detailed itenary of locations to visit and many local walks and beaches we could pick and choose at our own pace. The pod was very comfortable for the 2 of us and really well stocked of all the utensils we might need. This accommodation is in a stunning location, with a calmness and serenity full of nature and ideal for anyone looking to escape a fast paced world. Anyone who is talented enough to paint or sketch would be spoilt for choice in landscapes, flora and fauna. We had both wet and good weather throughout our stay and either didn't hinder our stay as we had a very well covered and private seating area beside our pod. We will definitely return again.

IrelandI fully understand why there is only microwave for 'cooking' . Having a small hob would be a fire hazard in the timber pod, but I missed a normal way to cook something. There is a BBQ outside if you wish. I still think it's 10 out of 10, even when I missed some normal way to cook the breakfast.
The place and pod was lovely, Tom was also nice. Definitely recommending to stay there, totally different experience, the place was spotless. We had fire in the chimnea, so nice in the evening.

Beautiful pod in a magnificent part of Connemara. Quiet and remote a shirt walk from the beach. The pod was spotless and had everything we needed. The views were gorgeous and Susie and Tim were a pleasure to meet. The addition of the little outdoor space beside the pod meant that we could sit outside regardless of the weather which was great. Will defo be back it's a beautiful way to switch off and enjoy the surroundings, silence and beauty of the place
