Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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...).

It was very modern and clean. It was a great advantage to be able to use the kitchen facilities for breakfast and tea & coffee. The staff were great very informative about where to go and what to see in the area.

IrelandThe shower door wasn't as user friendly as expected. I found it hard to open from the inside. The kitchen is basic. More for dining than cooking although that isn't misinformed.
Good location in the centre of Sligo. Really friendly staff who gave us great recommendations on where to visit around the area. Good placement of charging points.

IrelandCouldn’t fault the property or facilities.
Plenty of parking at the rear of the property. Location of the property is excellent. Just a very short walk to the many restaurants and pubs in Sligo town. I was on a motorbike tour and found the location excellent. The pressure of the shower was excellent. William, who is the property owner was excellent from the outset. Very informative of the areas when organising trips along the coast with some very good local knowledge that made our trip even better. Don’t forget to ask for a pin to place a pin of the world map in hallway before you leave!

United StatesMy wife and I have traveled for over 30 years. This is only the second time I've graded a facility a "10." The location is superb for exploring the charming town of Sligo. Repurposed from an old prison facility, the Lodge is super clean, modern and welcoming. The onsite parking is safe and secure. The high point for us was undoubtedly the innkeeper, a sharp young fellow named William. Not only did he greet us with a fresh and delicious cup of coffee upon our arrival, he was a fantastic resource of what to see and do....not only in Sligo, but in places further afield. In our world, the Ealu Lodge, and particularly William, earn a perfect score. R. Meredith

GermanyI genuinely liked everything about the stay. William gave me an incredibly warm welcome, and all the important information had already been sent by email beforehand. He even took the time to write down some local highlights and tips for the area, which I really appreciated. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the room was a great size. As a solo traveler, I felt very safe throughout my stay. The doors were secured with individual codes, and I could conveniently park my car right behind the house. I would absolutely book another stay anytime. By the way, the city center was just a short walk away, and there were shops and stores right around the corner.

United StatesBrand new facility; excellent price and great location within walking distance to river, town, sites; clean; pleasant; everything we needed. William is a fabulous host. He responded immediately to all correspondence, met us in the morning, told us about the Lodge and his other adventure tour activities, made us coffee, and gave great recommendations for live music, food shopping, and good hikes. A former school teacher of his happened to drop by while we were in the shared kitchen, and he praised William’s good qualities. It was a sure testament to the genuineness of the hospitality William had shown us. Great craic.
