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 reviewRooms were a good size and very comfortable. Staff were delightful and the breakfast was delicious 😋 It was nice to be able to read in the sitting room.
Shower pressure was a joke. Barely a dribble of water. Thank goodness I didn't need to wash my hair.

Verified reviewBeautiful location right next to the sea, absolutely quiet, sheep and cattle pastures right next to the house…. Very nice people working there and a good choice of breakfast options, served in a cosy room witj sea view.
It is quite a drive from Galway or anywhere else, but if you want to tour Connemara it’s perfect. Everything is getting a bit old and slightly run down, but it’s spotlessly clean.

Verified reviewFirst of all, the location of this lodge is just breathtaking. The moment you arrive, you feel so peaceful. It's an old family house, with beautiful surroundings. The room was confortable, and the breakfast all you can ask for.
The shower option was to sit in the bath, so not really easy when you're tall, but that was not such a big deal. Maybe the only concern was the hot shower didn't last very long.

Verified reviewGood breakfast. Stunning view overlooking the sea from the dining room. Beautiful location.
Room was tiny, with two twin beds instead of a double/queen bed, despite our booking as a couple. Bathroom is also quite small, and the shower had low water pressure. Overall, the house has a great soul, but most of the rooms need refurbishment.

Verified reviewLoved everything about this B&B! The staff was super friendly, the view was beautiful, the breakfast was delicious, and the room was very comfortable. There was access to a small fridge for guests as well. I hope I get to come stay here again some day!
The closest place to eat dinner was about an 8 minute drive, but worth the trade for the quiet and the view!

Verified reviewAmazing location! Felt very welcome and well looked after. Was sad to leave. We travelled all around the west of Ireland staying at different locations and the older castle B&B was by far our favourite stay.
WiFi was a little slow but didn’t need it!
