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.).

IrelandThe location was excellent and well served by Martin's taxis who were able to accommodate a group of 6. We enjoyed the peaceful setting of the house, 5 km from Carlingford itself. We walked to the local pub Lily Finnegan's too. Martina, the host was lovely and we were given advance directions and helpful information. There was a welcome pack of goodies too on arrival. Martina was very accommodating re check in and check out times. We loved the spacious house with 3 dbl rooms with bathrooms. Ideal for a family group or large group of friends. Lovely quiet location too.

United KingdomWe had a fantastic one-night stay in Granda's House during the Easter holidays; I was disappointed we didn't stay longer. The house was very clean, warm and comfortable with two sitting rooms and a large kitchen that also has a sofa in it. The house has everything you need for a short or long stay and there is wifi throughout the house. This was our first time away with our small dog and by closing the gate we had a fully enclosed outside area and garden the dog could safely run around in. As previous reviews have said, Carlingford is 5 minutes away and there are two beaches close to the house; the closest beach is a 15 minute walk along a relatively quiet road, the other is less than 10 minutes drive. There is also a pub, Lily Finnegans, about 10 minutes walk. There is ample parking space for several cars and outside the house. Martina is lovely and a superb host, she met us on arrival and departure and had left food, milk (and Easter eggs!) which was a nice touch given how short a time we were staying. She also provided a great information pack listing local places to eat and visit. I would thoroughly recommend Granda's House and hope to return for a longer stay soon.

IrelandLocation was great. Just a 5 min drive from Carlingford. Martina emailed shortly after booking with tips and things to do in Carlingford. She also contacted us during our stay to ensure everything was going well. Simple touches like shampoo and shower gel in case you forgot to bring some. And condiments in the kitchen of things that you wouldn't even think to bring. A welcome hamper on arrival and games and puzzles to keep the kids entertained in case it rained. We were lucky with the weather and managed to sit outside in the sunshine on garden chairs provided. Plenty of parking and ample space for kids to run around and play football / basketball outside. You could light a fire if u wanted. We didn't need to as we were lucky with the weather.

IrelandAfter booking the house, I got an email from Martina giving us lots of information about the area, things to do, places to visit and places to eat & drink, this was brilliant so we used this to plan what we were going to do while in the area. Martina, met us at the house with keys and showed us around and explained how heating worked etc.. She left a fabulous welcome hamper for us. House is really like a home away from home, so big in space and spotless clean. The 4 bedrooms are comfortable and warm. We were a group of 6 friends looking for a night away and the house was ideal for us, would definitely recommend this house whether you are a group of friends or family looking to get away as this house is in a perfect location and definitely a home from home as they house has everything you need.
