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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

IndiaThe house is located in a spectacular location. The view from my room couldn't have been better. Waking up the the blue wild Atlantic and the roar of waves amplifies your rejoice. Breda is such an amazing woman, sweet and amiable. Don't forget to taste the amazing cheese omelette that Breda makes. I would recommend everyone to spend some time at Sandycove.

The scenery was spectacular!! I loved everything about the place. It was beautiful inside and out. The owner was very courteous and helpful. She made me feel right at home. I wish that I could have stayed longer but I wanted to see as much of Ireland as I could. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone. When I come back to Ireland, this will definitely be the place that I want to stay.

NetherlandsThe B&B is slightly isolated, with shops & restaurants only at driving distance... which is either a good or a bad thing depending on your whishes.
The views are amazing, nice & cosy room with a view. A joy to return to at the end of the day. Nice staff.

IrelandWe had the most wonderful stay at Sandycove Bed & Breakfast. The view was absolutely incredible, overlooking the sea and cliffs. A small beach was located directly across from the B&B. Breda, the host, was incredibly accommodating and hospitable. The breakfast was delicious. We will definitely be returning!

IrelandAs we usually have a superking size bed, I was rather unused to the double bed. The ensuite while fab is rather on the small side but great to have it.
The house is lovely and the location is fantastic with great views and we went swimming in the sea just across the road down to a small cover. Was really lovely.

IrelandIts a family owned property like 'Chesapeake Shores' (we love the series) We enjoyed the views from our room. Sitting by the bed gazing through the sunset was an experience on its own. Property had access to sandycove. Room was clean, fresh linen was provided, beautifully designed bathroom. Special mention-Breakfast and Coffee were delicious. Both Anita and Jamie were accommodative of our requirements. Beautiful Dining hall with the most amazing views to the Atlantic. We even spotted seals now and then 😊 100% recommendation to this property if you're planning on visiting West Cork.
