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.).

Nothing - great little spot to stay, with friendly people, good food and clean, comfy rooms.
If you are looking for the Ritz, then this is not it - it is rooms above a pub in a small village with some amazingly friendly locals. However if you want somewhere that is welcoming, friendly, cosy and easy to get to and from, then this is a great place to stay. The room was clean, tidy and had everything we needed for our stay. We stayed here whilst my daughter took part in a 3 day horse show in Cavan Equestrian - it took about 30 minutes to get to/from the equestrian centre to the pub/rooms. The breakfast was served in a restaurant / cafe downstairs just next to the pub, and was cooked by an incredibly friendly lady, who was more than happy to adjust breakfast times or orders to suit what we wanted. It was quick, hot and tasty. We stayed on a Thursday, Friday and Saturday night so the pub was, understandably busy and the room we had was just over the pub entrance, so with the window open we could hear peoples conversations as they stood outside....nothing earth shattering! The noise was done relatively early into the evening and then it was a peaceful nights sleep. The food in the pub was good, with lots of options and came relatively quickly - local patrons of the pub were really friendly ! My husband and I, due to work and other commitments swapped over during the 3 night stay so we both experienced the place, and both agreed that next time we are up for another show we will stay here again !

One night stay Was greeted by a lovely friendly young woman, who helped me up with our bags Just two flights of stairs. The accommodation is separate from the bar you could hear the music but it stopped about 10.30/11 wasn't bad. The accommodation is basic but good the beds were comfortable . We had food in the bar that night and it was lovely the bar was very busy good wee buzz about it. Breakfast the nxt morning was lovely and the girl that prepared it and served it was so nice . We enjoyed our stay.

The bar can get quite busy at times as it is a popular place locally for food & drink.
Bedroom was clean & spacious with comfortable bed. Nice powerful shower. Staff were friendly & helpful. Location was perfect for nearby activities. Food in the bar was good with enjoyable atmosphere. Breakfast was good quality the next morning. Only negative was that the extractor fan wasn’t working & the window handles need attention but these things did not hinder our stay in any way. We would happily stay again.
