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 reviewThe Lighthouse is a lovely B & B & Dermot the host is a very nice gentleman & very helpful in advising of places to go. The bed, pillows & linen was very comfortable & the room spacious.
Dingle has some of the most beautiful views but sadly we were given a rear room with a velux rooflight & the only view we had after climbing 2 steps to see out was that of a building site! The rain hitting on the velux was very loud & disturbed our sleep, as did the extremely loud international guests next door who proceeded to move between rooms across the landing frequently at night & shouted at each other rather than talking. At 11.30pm on the first night we had to knock the wall to make them aware they were disturbing us. The second night had different guests & they proceeded to watch television until 11.40. Their TV seemed to be against our wall so we heard every sound!! There does not appear to be any sound deadening or insulation between the stud walls & every sound could be heard including those using the toilet, shower & WHB, their televisions & conversations. We had two very disturbed nights sleep. We appreciate the disturbance from other guests is out of Dermots control but he does need to address better sound insulation to ensure his guests have a comfortable night. Sadly due to this we would not stay here again or recommend.

Verified reviewDermot was very friendly and informative. The continental breakfast with fruits and yoghurt was excellent. Good coffee. Good parking. Easy walk into Dingle. Advise that you book popular restaurants one week in advance.
No air conditioning but not really needed in August in Eire.

Carpet needs to be replaced. Overpriced for what it offers. Although not the hotels fault, there was a kitten crying all night. It was very distressing to listen to all night. They knew about it and said they are trying to rescue it.

Verified reviewThe property was immaculate, and comfortable to stay at in every way- really making guests feel at home. But what really made the experience stand out was the host. From the moment we booked, he was warm. responsive and accommodating. We were running late for check in time and the host stayed to greet us and gave several local recommendations that turned out great. The location was perfect-peaceful , yet close to everything we needed. We stayed in several vacation rentals on this trip and this one set the standard. If you're looking for a place that combines comfort, charm, and outstanding hospitality, look no further. We will definitely return.

The walls were very thin and you could hear the people talking next door. There were no window coverings on the window as it was extremely bright in the mornings.

Verified reviewReally clean, friendly staff. Great location!
Requested early check in for 12pm and were told it was no problem. When we arrived the room wasn’t available until 1:30pm. There was a baby crying next door and the walls were so thin it was hard to sleep so maybe something could be done about soundproofing walls as you can hear everything in the room next to you.

Verified reviewThe staff was awesome - friendly, welcoming and helpful. Awesome location for walking into the town of Dingle.
The rooms did not have air conditioning or a fan that we could see and the rooms became uncomfortably hot. Had to carry luggage up the steps.

Verified reviewAhhhh Beautiful Magical Dingle! With THIS Breathtaking view from our lovely, charming B&B! From the moment we stepped in the door of The Lighthouse, we were treated like long lost friends! Family in fact! Dermot & Jack not only welcomed us from a long drive from Doolin, (we are from Cleveland Ohio, in Ireland for 11 days, this was our 3rd stop) but made sure we were comfortable & well cared for, for our entire stay! AND THAT VIEW!! We were in room 6! The B&B is charming, well appointed and immaculately clean! The breakfast is delicious and the choices are pure Irish! Made with love and care! The intentional decor and warmth of each detail, this darling place made me never want to leave! The Lighthouse will now be tradition whenever we are in Dingle! Thank You Dermot & Jack! Looking forward to seeing you again soon!!
Loved everything about it!!
