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...).

IrelandDifficulty getting taxi to take me back to hotel due to ongoing protests outside hotel. Unnerving as a guest having to walk by protest on your own.
Staff were friendly. Room was clean.

IrelandNot much. The hotel is great value for money.
Was our third time staying here, and was once again a fantastic experience. Staff are absolutely amazing and very helpful. Had a lovely meal in the restaurant and the staff were great when dealing with our children. Same with the receptionists who were on duty. Great service in the leisure centre aswell. Highly recommended

United KingdomDecor a bit dark and old fashioned but sturdy and clean. Still serviceable.
Discreetly off the main road away from traffic. Very friendly staff, nice bar food. Plenty of car parking. Family friendly. They had no fans in the bedroom or hotel and when i asked for one, they went one errand to the shops to buy me a state of the art one. Very happy.

IrelandThe hotel and leisure center are a little dated and would be nice with a bit of renovation. Some of the restaurant service staff were a bit curt and gave the impression of being inconvenienced, but nothing terrible. The room walls are quite thin, so if you have noisy neighbors you will hear it. At 5am I could hear the entire conversation in next room as they were packing to leave.
The property location is lovely, with nice gardens. It's located in a nice, quiet, off-main road site an away from any traffic, but right next door to Ballina, which is great. The pool, jacuzzi and sauna on site were basic but nonetheless a really great bonus! Everything in the hotel itself was perfectly okay and no major complaints.

IrelandFor the price it was perfect. The bathroom shower is a tight one, and the doors are thin. Lighting in the room was hit and miss. But overall the experience is good.
Almost vintage style hotel. Room was spacious and comfy. Staff friendly and relaxed atmosphere overall. Bar area very pleasant for an evening drink and the pints were good, cosy. Breakfast was strong, the coffee very nice. Booked on a low cost deal so the price was good value overall. Hotels such as this should lean into the retro styling and avoid going head to head with sleek new hotels. We had a comfortable stay whilst going surfing. 4/5
