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.).

Isle of ManI’m not sure I’d want to sleep in the caravan again.
It was quirky. Not at all what I expected but a very earthy and back to nature kind of camping experience. Brendan is a great host and I like what he is trying to do with his sustainable camping

SpainAbsolutely perfect! We stayed in the bus and really enjoyed our night there and the day in Valentia. We rented bikes on site (better if you let them know in advance to make sure they have enough) and discovered the island by bike. The hosts were amazing and super friendly. The breakfast absolutely fantastic! 100% recommended

IrelandIt's a quirky caravan site tucked away in lovely grounds very near knightstown and portmagee on Valentia Island in the heart of the stunning Skellig Ring. Kids or groups would love this site but it's also private for couples and people travelling solo. There's a cosy renovated cottage for gathering outside of the caravan day or night. Plenty of toilets and showers so there's never any queues. Heaters and electric blankets ensure even the wettest nights are cosy under the fabulous tin roofed canopies. Fabulous breakfast spread with a range of fresh fruit, juices, cereals, scrambled eggs and even pancakes! Brendan and his kids are great hosts.

AustriaWe had an incredibly nice stay at Island Escape. We were there for two nights but honestly, we could have easily stayed longer. The vibe among the campers was super relaxed, and even as someone over 2 meters tall, I had plenty of space in the bed and slept really well. Breakfast, served in the large stone house starting around 8:00 (or earlier if arranged with the host), was absolutely fantastic – great coffee, a variety of cheeses, and the fresh scrambled eggs and pancakes prepared daily by the host were top-notch. The showers and sanitary facilities were clean, and the whole little camper village is just incredibly charming and cozy. A special shoutout to the host and his family – they were super welcoming, always had great recommendations for things to do in the area, and we really enjoyed the nice chats we had with them. Highly recommended – we’d come back anytime!

IrelandVery quirky spot.. Very well laid out. Brendan was an excellent host. Very accommodating as we were a family of 8 adults our original accommodation was tight so he kindly upgraded us to an extra space. We stayed in the bus, boathouse and gypsy caravan. Toilets and shower blocks were spotless. Brendan cooked us delicious pancakes and eggs for breakfast and also had a lovley spread of fresh fruit Yougurt and bread. Fantastic value overall

IrelandBreakfast was generous and delicious. Loved the pancakes. The room was more than adquate, cozy and the bathrooms were clean and convenient. Perfect location for everything in Valentia Island and going to Skellig Islands. Loved how quiet the place was and enjoyed the company of Brendan and staff. Great deal on electric bikes which we loved touring around Valentia Island. Wouldn't look to stay anywhere else than here when we come back to Valentia Island.

IrelandI didn't like leaving the place!
This is the coolest place on the island! If you're looking for something different, affordable and comfortable, this is for you! It's the perfect location to reach all points of the island easily. The accommodation is so quirky yet very comfortable and very clean. The breakfast is so fresh and tasty. The communal toilets and showers were spotless. There was so much privacy in how each quirky accommodation was laid out together. Be sure to visit the only beach on the island, Glanleam (10mins away) and Goerkan Mountains (8 mins away) for the most stunning views of the island and Kerry.

United KingdomOnly the weather was bad during our stay, we had booked a landing tour of the Skellig islands, which couldn't go ahead. We stayed here 2 nights, and spent one day in bed in the caravan because the weather was too miserable to go exploring. It would be good if they had a constant stock of non dairy/plant milk. I learned on our trip exploring Southern Ireland that the country isn't very vegan friendly if eating out. Maybe not enough people ask for plant milk to warrant a constant supply?
Amazing unique place, grounds are very well kept and all the plants among the caravans give privacy and look great. Big communal kitchen area which is also very nice! And a good variety of very healthy things for breakfast. I'm vegan, and the owner didn't have any plant milk on the first morning, but bought some for me for the next morning which was very kind. We went to Driftwood Surf Cafe for dinner one night and I strongly recommend a visit here, the best view I've seen from a restaurant, and food is very good!
