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.).

AustriaWe were just sorry that we had to leave after 2 nights..
Gill and Allen are the best hosts one can imagine. They really cared about our stay and explained in detail all the oppportunities in the area. The room is very spacious and offers a great view of the ocean. Breakfast was just wonderful with fresh fruits and very tasty pastry (just to name some examples). The place is also perfectly clean.

United StatesI truly don't think I've ever stayed in nicer accommodations, either in Ireland or anywhere else. Our Atlantic suite was luxurious and comfortable, with incredible views of the countryside and ocean. Gill gave us lots of tips for navigating Milton Malbay. And she brought us breakfast in a little basket every morning! It was really a wonderful stay. We'd love to go again when we come back to Clare.

HungaryIt was the last stop of my trip, I spent two nights at Gill and Alan's home. It was like I was visiting. :) Gill made a delicious breakfast and provided lots of advices. Both the room and the bathroom are huge, the view of the ocean is fantastic. Gill's refined taste is evident throughout the house. The most comfortable bed I've slept in during my travels! I will definitely return to them. :)

United StatesEverything was wonderful!
The room was clean and set up for my arrival. I arrived outside of check in hours unfortunately and still had a very warm welcome from Jill, one of the owners. I had an amazing view of the ocean from my room and had an easy drive to anywhere I wanted to explore. Also, Jill was very thoughtful and provided a wonderful breakfast. She also accommodated the fact that I'm vegetarian and switched up the breakfast for me. Very appreciated! Would definitely return in the future. :)

United KingdomNothing.
Home from home. It was like staying with a friend/relative. The 'room' was more like an apartment upstairs in this lovely house. The views were amazing. Gill was so friendly and accommodating. The walk into the centre of Miltown Malbay was down a bit of a country road but Gill offered to take us in her car and she booked a restaurant for us for dinner and gave us the number of THE most friendliest taxi driver Luke who took a handful of us from a night out in the centre back to our accommodation for only €7 each. It had a great community feel to it.. Gill had plenty of ideas and advice on where to go. She absolutely went the extra mile to make sure everything was perfect for us.We stayed here as part of a road trip. Visiting some amazing places in this area with the most beautiful scenery. Spanish point is very close by. Cliffs of Moher and Aran Islands. Kilkee and the coast road to Loophead Lighthouse was so good too. I think some of the scenery was far better than the Cliffs of Moher!

ItalyGill has been the greatest!!! Very welcoming and very helpful, she gave us the best tips to make the best of our stay in the area. She took the time to sit with us and show us where to go on the map, and she also booked the restaurant on our first night. She made us the best breakfast ever with a superb french toast! The room is spacious, beautifully decorated and perfectly clean. One can tell Gill and Alan put a lot of care and passion in their hospitality. We would have liked to stay longer and will definitely come back again! 🙂

United StatesThere wasn’t nothing I didn’t like.
Of our two week trip, this was our favorite place. Gil and Alan were wonderful and so helpful! They also gave us great advise and directions. The breakfasts were fabulous! The location is quiet, yet very close to many sights we wanted to see. Our room had a sitting area separated from the bedroom, the bathroom was spacious, and the skylights provided a nice flow of air and a wonderful view of the ocean. I would definitely go back and spend more time there!
