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):
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.
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.).

United StatesWe ate in the casual restaurant when we arrived. We were sat next to another couple when there was plenty of room in the restaurant. That couple had an issue with their food having garlic in it when they had asked for no garlic. I believe it flustered our waitress and she did not put our order in. It took 45+ minutes to get a salad and a pizza and our waitress did not come over again - the manager brought our food. They did take off 30% but the whole thing was not what we had expected. The other couple also had friends stop by with lengthy loud conversations right next to our table. It just seemed odd that they chose to seat us there when the restaurant was relatively empty.
Beautiful castle, room, gardens, total experience. Wish we had more time to enjoy all it had to offer. We did a 7 day trip through Ireland so we were quick to move to our next destination. My husband did get 9 holes of golf in and we used the fitness center and walked the grounds. It was all so beautiful! The breakfast was amazing. The full Irish breakfast and the French toast were delicious. The continental offerings were unique such as power kale smoothies, breakfast smoothies, yogurt parfaits, pastries, etc. Service was top shelf. I would highly recommend.

The Castle is fabulous!! We were very impressed with the nice and helpful staff and well appointed room. We loved the fancy bar and quite enjoyed the live music after dinner. The grounds are spectacular and the walled garden was lovely. The staff arranged clay shooting for us and it was A highlight! Very fun for our group who were inexperienced. Wish we could have stayed longer! Especially nice as We We’re flying out of Shannon and it was just am15 min drive to the airport

United Stateswe had a lovely room but it was a long way from the main rooms. As we age, an elevator might provide easier access.
breakfast was excellent and in a beautiful setting. The garden was splendid. I've seen it over 24 years and this time I was impressed with the improvements. It was wonderful to sit there in the spring air. please keep on restoring it to compliment the architecture. your staff made the stay memorable by welcoming us and helping us with our stay.
