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 KingdomThere were a lot of stairs to negotiate in order to get to our room which was a bit of a pain with several suitcases. We didn't hear a lot of noise from outside but the walls between the rooms are quite thin to the extent that we could hear our "neighbour" snoring !
Excellent location right in the centre of Ballina with plenty of secure parking with CCTV. The room is well equipped and the bathroom was modern and spotlessly clean. Communication with the host was very good.

United States of AmericaThere was no communication prior to the stay other than a phone call an hour prior to our arrival to tell us that no staff was going to be there when we arrive and that a text message was sent with the door code. We received no such message. I had to message the property via booking.com to get the code. Upon arrival, we found that someone had used the toilet and there was fresh urine on the floor. When I wipe it up, it was wet and yellow. Additionally, in the message we received through booking.com we were informed that there was special parking rate for guests at the Pawn Lane parking lot, but when we checked out of the parking lot, the attendant had no clue about a special parking rate for The Loft guests. In the morning, when I went on to let the staff know that we were checking out, the two ladies did not even responded to my good morning greeting. All they wanted to know was that the bill was paid for the room which I assured them it was. They didn't even care that we did not eat the provided breakfast.
The location at the center of Ballina near restaurants and bars was excellent.

IrelandThe bathroom was extremely small. A larger person might have difficulty manoeuvring.. Breakfast starts at 9:30, which was too late for me as I needed to be elsewhere.
Had a friendly call from the loft explaining the bar and restaurant wouldn't be open that evening and offering details of other places to eat. The room was clean and basic, and the bed was extremely comfortable. I didn't hear any noise from outside or other guests, so I slept well. 2 bottles of water in the room was a bonus as so many places in Ireland don't supply any. I've stayed in most of the hotels in Ballina over the past 10 years but would be happy to return to Loft. The carpark was very conveniently located and extremely cheap.
