Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 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...).

IrelandCan’t think of anything.
Location is excelllent. The car park had an electric vehicle charger. The manager greeted us in the foyer. Reception staff went out of their way to help us when we had an issue with something. Dinner was excellent. I don’t want to give too much away but there’s real attention to detail in making you feel welcome. We really enjoyed our stay and will be keeping an eye on booking.com for future stays.

IrelandIt was unique and had kept the original style and qualities of the castle. The room was gorgeous and so spacious as well as having a beautiful bath. The staff were very nice and helpful. Brian and Ronan the owners were so welcoming and friendly and on hand to play their part which emphasises the care that is put into the premises. The breakfast was delicious and was definitely worth getting out of the very comfy bed for…which says a lot

GreeceIf there is one thing I would prefer to be different is that we missed a shower head extension in the bathroom ( only bath or shower option right now ). So please consider this for any future bath renovation / alternation.
The location, the calmness, the relaxing mood, the service. All wonderful !

Breakfast and dinner were amazing. Lobster dinner was the absolute best I've ever had. The sauce was spectacular and lobster cooked perfectly. Castle managers were very welcoming!!

IrelandFood is average at best, dinner is quite overpriced for what you get so would try a local restaurant next time we visit.
Beautiful property in Clifden. Our room was spectacular, really spacious and had a gorgeous view. There was a Prosecco reception in the evening where they take your photograph which is then presented to you at dinner. The owner also gives a local history talk in the evenings which was nice.
