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 KingdomWould be good to have a TV in each bedroom if you want to relax in your room away from the other guests.
A lovely quiet place with local shops nearby and beautiful beaches within a short drive. The owner was really nice and onsite if you need anything. Dog friendly which is why we booked it, we had our dog with us but not a good idea because he was a bit unsettled at night hearing the other guests moving around the house (sorry again 🤦♀️). This is a great place if you are planning on spending alot of time out and about very clean and comfortable and beautiful scenery

United KingdomAll was great
Great communication with the host, very friendly. Lovely setting. Comfortable room with private bathroom. Lots of common areas, TV room with netflix, etc. Amazing kitchen with lots of supplies, made late breakfast and weren't rushed away from the dining space on the day of departure. Lots of nice quirky decor bits, nice atmosphere. Local restaurant is 15min walk and had amazing steak there. Really friendly people too, took us in with our dog as it was a bit cold outside. The property is pet friendly too - big bonus!

IrelandThe room was not sound proofed. Didn't really bother as that much as we were dead tired everytime we get back to the place so we slept like a log.
Loved the place and it's affordability at the same. Would stay here again in the future. The owner was very nice, room was decent size, loved the skylight in the room, loved the shower too.

United KingdomOnly real issue we had were the doors being quite creaky. Not necessarily a problem but when the house was full at night, it occasionally woke us up.
Hosts were lovely, couldnt have been more welcoming. knowledgable about the surrounding area. Location is good for exploring Donegal, but you'll need a car to get anywhere. Room was bright and well decorated

United KingdomI had some problems locating the lodge on my satnav and I kept being directed up small country roads/lanes adjacent to the lodge. Obviously this was not an issue created by the lodge. Also, there was some inconsistency between prior information from Booking.com and the reality on the ground.
The lodge was spacious with lots of common areas for sharing between ourselves and other guests. The owner, John, had also provided a starter kit of food items which was a pleasant surprise for us.

IrelandLoch Connell Lodge was so lovely very accommodating, this was our first weekend away with our wee dog as always found it hard to get places were pets are allowed. Chappy loved it, he enjoyed the space and freedom. Staff was exceptional to our needs.. View was so lovely and we're allowed to use the facilities in the house to cook when wanted to and watch TV, it felt like home. Thanks again John for everything
