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):
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.).

United KingdomIt was all fine for us. Maybe the accommodation is ready for a simple freshen up in time for the summer season, is all I'd suggest.
We had a lovely four nights at the Long Barn. We were given a very warm welcome and were given the freedom to enjoy the property at our own leisure. Even though it was the middle of winter, it was possible to get the barn warm in a short space of time thanks to the excellent log burner. The kitchen was well equipped and the living space was spacious and easy to use. Nice bathroom with powerful hot water too.

IrelandWe have no complaints whatsoever, only praise.
The beautiful remote, tranquil location of the house and its expansive organic grounds, amazing scenery in all directions incorporating rugged countryside, harbours, lakes, hills and winding roads with wonderful views. Richard and Joan were exceptional and went to great trouble to welcome us and make our stay so comfortable and relaxing and we enjoyed so much also the free range organic eggs from the hens roaming freely around the grounds. It was a memorable and most enjoyable stay. We are definitely going back.

IrelandThe hot water situation is not great. Followed instructions to turn on immersion and left it on for a couple of hours to have a bath, which I was really looking forward to, but when I let it run it had run cold before it was full and then I could not have that hot bath. The shower also ran cold for the second person on the first morning. If it was summertime, I probably wouldn't have minded so much.
A beautiful rustic hideaway in a beautiful area very close to the sea. Loved the interior and the wood burning stove.

IrelandHowever, we did encounter a few issues. There was a slight musty smell, but it wasn't too bothersome. We also noticed that the floorboards leading to the kitchen and dining area were a bit uneven which is a potential hazard . On the last night of our stay, we heard some movement a noises coming from the kitchen, as it turned there was rodent droppings under the kitchen sink,understanably mice are commonly found in an old building but not a nice thought for guests on there stay. It was a bit unsettling for us, and we had to throw away our food left on the counter. Despite these issues, we appreciated our stay at The Long Barn and hope that the owners will address these concerns for future guests.
During our recent stay at The Long Barn, we found the location to be easily accessible with clear instructions provided by the owners. The barn had all the necessities and felt just like a home.

United KingdomI appreciate the rustic charm of the property but I still would expect it to feel clean which is didn’t in my opinion. The bedroom radiators didn’t work causing it to feel and smell very damp through the barn and no response from the owner to resolve the issue when asked meaning my stay was uncomfortable. I’m not usually one to moan as long as I have somewhere comfortable to sleep but the two nights I had to go it of my way to overcome the issues best I could, which as a paying guest I don’t feel is acceptable. Overall with a little tlc it really could be a really lovely place. Maybe better to visit in the summer so the damp/mould not so apparent but sadly I won’t be doing that given my recent experience
Lovely and rural area with plenty to explore

IrelandFirstly it was impossible to find with absolutely no signage whatsoever on the road for it When we eventually found it the property was tucked away behind the owners house barely could make the entrance out, upon entering the property your immediately hit with a musty smell, the place was damp, cold & with mould around the windows, doors & bath. The washing machine, fridge & tumble dryer had rust on them the whole place lacked care & attention utterly disappointing we didn’t stay a night there
