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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

Verified reviewUnusual little house looking out to cow fields made of corrugated iron.
It rained heavily and because its roof was corrugated iron it kept us awake, it was very small, instructions on using hob would have been helpful and we arrived hungry! A can opener would have been helpful too. Didn’t see any staff which we prefer any communication was via message and good. Couldn’t get heater on so bit cold ! Would be concerned how hot it got in hot weather !

Verified reviewWe had a fantastic stay at Chestnut View. The water tank has been wonderfully converted into a relaxing space that has everything you need to relax in the Irish countryside. The photos don't do it justice - we stayed for 1 night and our only regret was that we didn't book for longer! The shower was great. We loved looking out to the Chestnut tree and cows outside. The space was spotless and the hosts had left kindly homegrown strawbs and milk in the fridge for our arrival. It's located close to many attractions - the hosts had a list of local recommendations which was helpful for us exploring the area! Definitely recommend a stay of at least 2 nights here. Thanks once again for a fantastic stay.

Verified reviewVery quiet remote location overlooking fields. Nice to have our own space after 2 weeks of BnB’s! Looks small from the outside but actually had everything you needed inside and didn’t feel cramped.
Nothing.
Thank you very much for your positive feedback. We appreciate you taking the time to post a review & are glad you enjoyed your stay.

Verified reviewBreakfast?? Was I supposed to get breakfast? I didn’t realise. There was tea and coffee and a pint of milk. Does that count? The place was very clean and nice to arrive at, though.
Thank you for your review. We don’t provide breakfast at Chestnut View but tea & coffee are provided for our guests.

Verified reviewQuirky but smart accommodation with everything one would need to have a restful stay. The only thing we couldn't figure out is how to turn on the hot plate. Tge owner is very responsive and tries to be helpful. The singing of the birds made my morning. Bucolic setting and nice views from the French door. We had a relaxing stay. Thank you

Verified reviewWhat a cool place this turned out to be: we were hesitant at first due to the non-traditional nature of the facility, but we were pleasantly surprised. A fantastic idea, with modern furniture. It is basically a spotlessly clean, fully equipped studio apartment in the middle of Cork green country.
There is nothing not to like. Of course it’s a bit out of the most touristic way but that adds to the charm.
David, thanks for your positive review. We’re delighted you enjoyed your stay at Chestnut View.
