How guest reviews work
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 use a weighted review system which means that 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 Wi-Fi. 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. 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, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done 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 of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

Verified reviewMy wife, and daughters (21 &16), and I, loved absolutely everything about Aran Walkers Lodge. It is perfectly located, and the owner and manager, Sean and Brenda, are simply the most genuine and wonderful hosts. We will be back many times.
We LOVED everything, and would advise all to stay there.

Verified reviewThe personal was really kind to us, the room was very comfortable and the breakfast buffet was marvellous! Also, the location was perfect for tourism, since the main touristic places were nearby. Also we were offered the possibility to rent bikes at a cheaper price than in the pier.

Verified reviewThe beds were comfortable and so was the layout of the room. The staff were nice and Sean is very informative
We stayed in a room with a shared bathroom which is fine, but you could hear everything from the shower and the neighboring rooms. The stairs are extremely creaky so are the doors. The bicycles to rent need a checkup too

Verified reviewAran Walkers lodge's owner and personal are very warm and welcoming. They have much been helpful with the room (I initially had two different ones because I booked an additional night). Also, they were very accomodating with gluten intolerant diet and helpful with local transportation. They have bikes available, which is great for touring this wonderful island. I wish we would have stayed longer. Go raibh míle maith agaibh <3

Verified reviewWe had such a lovely stay at Aran Walkers Lodge on Inis Mór. The location was lovely, but what truly made our visit special was the incredible hospitality. Brenda is an outstanding host. From the moment we arrived, she made us feel completely at home. Nothing was too much trouble she went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed, and her warmth and kindness truly added to the experience. Thank you, Brenda, for making our stay so memorable. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Aran Walkers Lodge to anyone visiting Inis Mór, and we hope to return someday!

Verified reviewLocation - In the middle of the island surrounded by fields and beautiful scenery. The lodge is well set up for visitors to the island - great space for relaxing and resources to look at. We were lucky enough to have fabulous weather so we're always out exploring.
Transport to and from the town for dinner and evening entertainment (necessary) is either taxis or hired bicycles.

Verified reviewAran Walkers Lodge was the perfect place to stay on Inishmore, remote enough that it was quiet but still easy to get to the various villages. The staff (especially Brenda) was incredibly accommodating and helpful, and overall we all agreed it was the best part of our trip!
The only thing we would have done differently is schedule a taxi or ride ahead of time to get there, as many of the buses by the ferry are moreso for day trippers doing a sightseeing tour. But even that ended up being fine!
Hello Sydney, we are delighted that you enjoyed your stay with us at Aran Walkers Lodge and your time on Inishmore. We hope to see you again soon!
