Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

I have to say there is nothing I disliked about it.
Absolutely beautiful lodge done to a very high spec. Lisa was so delightful and all the little extras was not expected but so welcomed. Even the little gift in the fairy house delighted my granddaughter. I have no hesitation in recommending waterdale lodge. Well done.

it was perfect
This was a mid trip stop and was family time the property was better than home from home. My son works in Ireland and it was lovely to relax together. We were warmly welcomed and introduced to the property and we knew we had any assistance required should we need it. However we had complete privacy and felt very comfortable here. We did much needed washing and had all and more we could have wanted. It was great having two TV screens as we could watch together but in different areas good if you are liable to fall asleep while watching TV. The welcome hamper was a lovely idea and meant even if we hadnt had time to shop we had something for a snack and breakfast. We'll be back to visit as there's lots to do in the area we visited Cliffs of Moher (la hinch beach is near there but we didnt make it) Galways a short ride away and we headed up to Kylemore Abbey and Connemara national park. I later found out about the Claregalway castle and wish we'd had time to visit.

We liked everything about the lodge can't fault it at all.
We loved how the Lodge was so homely. Was absolutely spotless. A basket of goodies on the counter top was a nice touch. Everything u need right at your hand. Shower gel and fresh towels in the bathroom. Very comfortable beds. Short drive to galway city. Would definatly recommend this lodge to people.

Lisa was very welcoming and explained everything in detail. The apartment was very modern, clean, spacious and perfect for our family of 5. There was tea, a coffee machine, milk and water on arrival. The bedrooms were very spacious and comfortable. The 2 smart tvs were a wonderful addition to our stay. I would have no hesitation recommending the property.
