How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

overall good but no wow factor. There were a few niggles that might be more relevant to a big family group using it as a home from home rather than bunch of friends just sleeping there…….bigger fridge freezer needed….extra crockery/cutlery/ serving dishes needed…..elements of kitchen and sofa a bit grubby, decor a bit tired, garden furniture not cleaned.
open plan space great for large groups. easy flat walk into village. comfy beds, plenty of towels and hot water, quiet location with easy parking. nice quiet garden space.

Location is A++++++ 5 minute walk to village where there is a lovely beach, playground and pubs and shops Galore. There is a gorgeous antique shop you could literally spend all day in and sweet Sundays is worth a visit! There is skypark which is at minute drive and also a lovely beach called Templeton beach about 15 minutes drive. The house itself is lovely. Big fluffy towels and all the kitchen utensils you need. Staff were also very accommodating providing us with 3 travel cots!

The location was excellent, just a five minute walk to Carlingford town centre, Carlingford lough, the Fokelore park and a children's playground. It was less than a 20 minute drive to Newry. On the way to Newry there is a spectacular walk - the Greenway, stop at Victoria Lock and enjoy the views and walk. The house had everything we needed, and was very comfortable. We were a group of 5 adults and 7 children. There was 5 bedrooms with 4 single and 5 double beds. one bedroom ensuite plus a full bathroom and a separate toilet downstairs. The back garden is large and safe for small children with outdoor seating. The cooking facilities, TV, internet and comfortable space made our family break a lovely experience

I would not recommend this place. The cleanliness was extremely poor. There was a very bad damp smell in the kitchen when we arrived. The floor was sticky as if it had just been cleaned with a dirty mop and there was no clean or appropriate sweeping brush or mop for us to use during our stay. The dishwasher was broken and was left filthy dirty inside with a build up of food debris and a pungent smell. The oven was also not working. The host knew of these issues but failed to inform us and continued to charge full price for the stay. They also demand a €400 cash deposit on arrival to stay in this terrible place. Major improvements are necessary and I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone.

The property needed a coat of paint and some new furniture and furnishings. Not sure what is happening in the development, but there are a lot of empty properties and the access to the shore is blocked.
The facilities were good with everything we needed. The location was convenient to walk into the village. The village is excellent.
