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...).

IrelandThis is a 3-star Hotel so everything was as expected, there is nothing for me to complain about other than the wifi which were a bit spotty.
Booking process were painfree and they communicated with me frequently. I made a reservation for dinner at the Restaurant, went down seamlessly. The dinner was absolutely amazing, food of high standard. It was the night of the All Blacks vs Springbok (South-Africa) final, the pub was packed and it was just nice. Bedrooms are nothing luxury, but it is clean and comfortable (which is what is most important to me) and better than what I expected and the staff is absolutely welcoming and helpful. We will be back.

IrelandA very minor thing, I would say that some areas needed a small bit of updating. But in general, it had a lovely vibe and was a most relaxing stay.
Really enjoyed it, our room was very comfortable and clean. Staff were lovely, and food was great. Breakfast, in particular, was beautiful!

IrelandUnderstaffed for breakfast. One waitress for the whole restaurant at breakfast time. Food cold, ordered coffee got tea. Asked for toast, none arrived. Didn't want to ask again as the waitress was already trying to do the job of 3 people. It wasn't her fault. She was lovely. There just should have been more staff.
Lovely evening meal. Fantastic live band in the bar. Very comfortable.

United KingdomI guess the only thing might have been that you had to say whether you wanted breakfast or not the night before - we kept forgetting but actually there is a place to grab a bite just around the corner.
It was a nice traditional type of country hotel with a bar at the side that had live music each night - traditional music the both nights we were there. We had a bar meal one evening which were excellent. See menu photo. The staff were lovely and we enjoyed our stay. The location was ideal - a 10 minute walk to the excellent Monks seafood restaurant, about 30-40 minutes drive to Cliffs of Moher (down scary narrow roads) but not too far from the main road back to Dublin. We went kayaking in the bay which was excellent and we saw lots of seals. We also drove round to Fanore beach was lovely. If we had had more time we would have done some walking in the area.
