Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United StatesThe mirrors were too high for shorties like me. A full length mirror in the hallway would be a nice addition.
Heather lodge is roomy and comfortable. The Woodstove was appreciated because even in July it could get chilly. The surroundings are beautiful, full of flowers, mountains and charm. The kitchen was well stocked which was important because I like to cook. Beds and pillows were comfy with high quality bedding. There is a nice tub in the bathroom with plenty of towels. The laundry room was great. Pavlina, Joe and Andrea were very responsive when help was needed.. All in all we appreciated the location and privacy and most everything about Heather Lodge. Would return if I ever get up the nerve to fly again. That is a whole other story.

IrelandNothing!
The property is beautiful, absolutely stunning and peaceful setting. The lodge itself is so comfortable and well equipped with everything you could need, all kitchen equipment provided is really good quality too which makes all the difference when self catering. The lodge is a short walk from local pubs and cafe, but secluded so you feel like you are in the middle of nowhere. The caretakers are very friendly and helpful but give you total privacy. A perfect stay!

GermanyFor small people some furniture is too high e.g. the mirror. Some doors to the garden were not usable.
Very nice stay, near to the sea, calm. Beds are very comfortable. Books and games are available.

United KingdomI can't think of anything we didn't like.
Fantastic location, overlooking the Fjord and mountains. Stunning scenery whichever way you drive. The host went above and beyond to help make our stay special, even having the piano tuned for me! The cabin itself is even better than the photos. We were blown away! Everything is very comfortable and the views from the open plan living area and master bedroom are just wonderful. We were very sad to leave this special place.

United KingdomThe property has a stunning location and it is beautiful with plenty of natural light, away from the road, and therefore very quiet. Everything is new and in perfect condition. The place is very spacious with nice furniture, comfortable beds, very nice cotton bed linen and towels. There are some things in the kitchen like tea, coffee, sugar, spices, oil, pasta. There are plenty of books and very good wifi. The hosts are very friendly and super helpful. There are caretakers living next door, and they were respectful of our privacy. We were allowed to check in earlier and check out late which was super kind and helpful.

IrelandWe had a lovely and relaxed stay at Heather Lodge. The home and the setting were a pleasure to spend time in, and the hosts really had thought of everything. The house was very comfortable, and walking distance to the village, complete with some hens pecking around in the morning. We didn't light the stove but I can imagine getting cosy here during the winter and just spending time.

Wonderful location near the village yet private, peaceful and secluded. Outside, magnificent scenery on show all around. Inside, clean, cosy and comfortable. Perfectly located for excursions to the wonders of Conemara.

The place is spacious, cosy and very clean. It has all the facilities you need and it is completely in nature. The host was very available and flexible and keen on making sure we could enjoy the stay at the max. For instance, since it rained for 2/3 of our booked days She offered late checkout so that we could enjoy the very last day of our stay as the sun was shining. The town is small but it has all you need to rest after a day of exploring and visiting the region. There is a pub very close by, the Hamilton, where food is very good and we went there more than once. Thanks Andrea for hosting us in your special chalet.
