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 KingdomI did think that the price was a little high given the isolated location and the fact that there was just one bathroom.
The accommodation was very well equipped and clean. And everything worked! A bonus was the generous welcome hamper of groceries . The grounds are extensive and very safe. We especially valued the range of outdoor play equipment. The private bar was also fun. Mike was very responsive at all times.

We had a most wonderful family 2 day vacation in two fabulous kitted out homes from home. Even had Christmas decorations adorning the homes. Our host was so kind and welcoming and left us the makings of 'the full Irish' Can't praise it high enough.

We had a fantastic stay with family at Knockreagh farm cottages. They were well kitted out with everything you could ever need for a family stay. They were warm and cosy with comfy beds. We loved the hot tub and sauna and bar. Mikes communication was without fault. Highly recommend this property and wish Mike the best with his endeavours.

I had read the great reviews beforehand and was pleasantly surprised to see that they were all spot on. The accommodation itself was great and perfect for us (3 adults, 3 kids). Mike had the fridge stocked with essentials for us, including items for a fry. We had brought a few things ourselves but I don't think we needed to use them. Mike mentioned to us about the bar next door to our farmhouse, "could we pull our own pints?" It was great to be able to have a couple of self poured complimentary pints while playing a game of pool! There was a small outdoor play area for the kids which we didn't get a chance to use properly as we were out most of both days we were there. There was also a communal hot tub and sauna, again we would've loved to use but didn't have the time. I definitely recommend this property for a stay, especially for families. Its about 10mins from Kilkenny and a great base to explore that part of the country.

This was the most amazing place to stay. I think it will be our favourite accommodation in Ireland. It was close to many things but not in a town so lovely and quiet. Mike was an amazing host and I would recommend this as a place to stay if you're looking for accommodation near Kilkenny

What a beautiful stay! Quick 12-minute access to Kilkenny, but so nice to be out in a serene/beautiful area. Clean and spacious rooms. We loved the ability to walk around the property and enjoy the beauty. We enjoyed the hot tub and big TV to watch sports. Owners are super friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend this stay, you won't be disappointed. Grocery store is 5 mins away.

All the extra touches! An indoor jacuzzi with mountain views, beautiful grounds, the amenities were perfect from billiards to a bar, well beyond what you’d expect from a stay at farm cottages! We had children ranging from 5-11 and my mother who is 86, we all loved our stay. Just down the road from Kilkenny city, so much to do and see. Thanks Mike, we’ve told all our family and friends !!

United KingdomNothing. Everything was perfect. There was not anything that could be improved upon. Mike clearly knows how to "wow" his guests and has thought of everything.
The accommodation and location were ideal set in quiet and serene, lovely Irish countryside. Our host, Mike was there to greet us and show us around. The wonderful welcome included a supply of food which enabled us to make a snack after our journey. We had a most enjoyable and memorable stay. As I am not familiar with this part of Ireland I am planning to return at some point to explore further and will have no hesitation in staying at Knochreagh again. Thank you Mike for a delightful stay!

United KingdomIt was perfect!
This cottage was sublime. It was the last 3 nights of our Ireland trip before returning to England. Could not have asked for a nicer place. Good sized cottages, excellent amenities, a hot tub, communal area and loads of open space for the dogs to run around. Mikes dogs Toby and Daisy were very adorable too and an added bonus for our dogs to play with! Undoubtedly the best place for us to end a very busy 2 weeks. I have been recommending to everybody and will be back. Close to Kilkenny and an hour away from the Copper Coast which has stunning beaches and coves. Loved every minute. Thanks Mike and family. Hopefully see you soon ❤️
