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.).

It’s an old hotel. Rooms not kept great. No cleaning during your stay. Bathroom wasn’t very clean when arrived. Check in at 3 we couldn’t check in until 4.30.

Verified reviewGreat location with a very good room and very friendly staff - good breakfast but dinner wasn’t great.
One of the main courses (mussels) was very poor and no comment from the waitress who collected the uneaten dish (or can asked how it was). Other dish was fine.

Verified reviewThe hotel is overlooking the huge bay and you are looking directly at Donegal. If you pre book a room on the huge balcony, the views are exceptional. The dining room view is beyond belief. the food is great and the service too. we have stayed there many times and intend going back soon.

Verified reviewIncredible location, staff were great, very polite and accommodating and good humoured. The room is very basic so for a night or two it's ideal.
The mattress needs replacing and the breakfast was fairly poor with limited selection- full Irish is on the menu though.

Verified reviewMullaghmore is a really cute little village. The hotel was convenient, with friendly staff. Bed was comfortable and bathroom clean and well appointed.
We ate in the restaurant. We didn’t particularly enjoy our meals. Both the salmon and the pork belly were overcooked and dry, although the breakfast was great.our room was very small.

Verified reviewLocation was fantastic and beautiful sea views
Very noisy at night, lots of doors slamming and kids running around shouting even at 2am. The room was very disappointing and not clean. Very dusty, walls badly need painted lots of scuff marks. Carpet wasn’t hoovered. Lampshade very dirty with water stains. Stains on bathroom walls - black water run marks on 2 of the walls. Pillow on bed had a black stain on it. Stains on the walls in dining room where we were sat.

Bedroom had patio doors rather than windows so it was very warm in room during the night. However that is personal preference and would not put me off staying again
