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...).

United KingdomThe kitchen area smelt drainy. The shower cubicle folding door in the en-suite is broken and should be repaired or replaced without delay as it cannot be used properly. I would be ashamed to ask guests to use this but it did appear to have been worn out over time and had clearly been broken for a while which is surprising given how well presented and cleaned the rest of the place was.
The apartment is a short walk from the Arch B&B itself. The communications with the owner and with the manager Mohammed were excellent and helpful. The apartment is well located and tea sugar and milk pots were provided which is helpful for shortstayers. The fittings in the apartment are a bit tired but the rooms were spotless and the beds and towels attractively presented and comfortable. Mohamed kindly stored our two bicycles for us.

IrelandIt was expensive for what it was! I think if you are going to call yourself a B & B then breakfast should be a given and not an additional extra! We paid €160 for one night which was expensive and more of a hotel price! The rooms are not sound proof so we could hear the neighbours snoring but thankfully we're heavy sleepers and they weren't too loud.
The room was spotless and the location is in the centre of the town next to the shopping centre. Staff were really nice and there was adequate parking that we were able to keep the car in after check out while we popped into the shopping centre! Great location for shopping in Athlone or if you need to be really central. Towels and toiletries were provided also and were a good standard.

Roomy lounge and well appointed kitchen and appliances. Large double Bed was firm and extremely comfortable. The rooms were very well cleaned daily - free parking was secure and close by. Staff were friendly and helpful. Nice restaurants and pubs in Athlone which is a great base to head out and see sights across Ireland.

We stayed at Arch house for one night this week. We had been travelling for a while and this was one of the best places we stayed. The location is excellent and close to all Athlone has to offer. There is free on site parking. The room was very comfortable and quiet at the back of the house. We had a lovely welcome from Maureen and her team. The breakfast was delicious and cooked fresh and there was plenty of choice. We will definitely stay here again, highly recommended. Thanks to all at Arch House.
