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 KingdomNothing to dislike.
Ruth and the staff were very friendly and chatty. The whole place is packed with fascinating rock/pop memorabilia collected by Stuart. The property is right on the Sky Loop road outside Clifden in a peaceful location, albeit a little far to walk to town. Good choices for breakfast.

AustraliaThe Lodge is Fabulous, beautiful bedroom comfortable bed , bathroom fantastic. Dining room is spectacular with a beautiful view Delicious breakfast . Parking on sight, short walk across the road then down a path to a castle A very short drive on Sky Loop road to see the best sunset. Ruth is a lovely, kind and caring host Clifden town centre is walkable or a short drive. A pleasure to see a history of music decorated through the Lodge. Its very hard for one to checkout once checked in.

IrelandAmazing! You can see the attitude towards the guests in every detail. Everything in the room is well thought out. Breakfast exceeded my expectations. Firstly, you can choose from a list in advance. Secondly, there were vegan/vegan and gluten free options, which is rare in Ireland. Another plus is the castle, which you can walk to in about 10 minutes. The city is also wonderful. So bright and cheerful.

United StatesThis was our favorite place to stay in Ireland! Amazing location & views, so quiet, comfy beds, great breakfast, and the best part was Ruth, Stuart and sweet Treacle. (How fun to be welcomed by such a friendly puppy!) Ruth and Stuart are incredible people who truly care for their guests and make them feel like family, not tourists. We hated leaving, but we'll be back!!

United StatesWe didn't realize that we would be quite so far from town, our mistake. For some reason we thought we would have an ocean view, which we did not.
The owners, Ruth and Stewart, were very nice and welcoming. The breakfast was made to order and just lovely. Our room although not large was completely adequate and comfortable. Stewart was helpful with our bags which we appreciated.
