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 KingdomI thought the bar areas could have been improved. The one large bar area didn't seem to have a permanent member of staff on duty.
The room was fine. I had one evening meal. The food was good. I didn't make use of the breakfast facilities - I thought it was expensive.

IrelandBreakfast cost about 17.50 euro and wasn't great. I had a full breakfast. The poached eggs were undercooked and I couldn't eat them. The next time I stay at this hotel, I'll have breakfast somewhere else. Poor value for money
The room was quite small ad the toilet facilities very small. But I paid a very low rate for 1 night.

IrelandThe shower was clogged with limescale so the water sprayed in odd directions and unevenly.
The food in the restaurant is incredible, morning or evening. The staff there were lovely and friendly, especially the chap in the band called 'Fíor'; he was so kind to our kids. The pool is clean, warm and child friendly. The hotel itself is huge so never felt too busy. The cocktails are lovely too!!

IrelandHotel is a bit dated. I think it’s more 3 stars than 4

United KingdomThis is where 4 star can be very meaningless. It has the 4* facilities but the quality and standards seemed lacking in the rooms, corridors and around the building. The corridors are very scruffy and lots of repairs needed in many places. Room carpets were grim and the room felt very, very tired. Lumpy, hard pillows. Had to be careful that the screen didn’t fall out of the shower cubicle door and rearrange the seal before using. Tiles coming off the lower wall. Tea/coffee tray needed cleaning. The gym was dark, had ceiling tiles missing and gaffa tape securing the carpet. Lots of the machines were rusty but worked but definitely needed cleaning.
The social spaces are great. Nice atmosphere in reception once the bar is open and music is playing. Food in the Bistro is really good. The pool and sauna were good. Staff pleasant. Mattresses were comfortable. Lots of tea and coffee in the room and extra available near reception. Lovely gestures for the children -squash and sweets available.

IrelandI mistakenly didn’t included breakfast. I thought I had so when we went for it we were told we had to go t other restaurant. The menu was limited as expensive with no children’s options whatsoever! My daughter and I got porridge which was very watery so left behind and a slice of toast each - my husband got a fry and coffee. The total of €40. We were hungry an hour later. Very disappointed with the lack of choice, no kids options and the expense of what actually was available. We love to stay and it never disappoints but I feel this restaurant option is letting your fabulous family hotel down hugely
Love the friendliness of every single member of staff. My family love staying here
