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...).

AustraliaThe chalet was a perfect base to explore Connemara. It was private and comfortable and had all the facilities we needed for our two-night stay. It exceeded our expectations.

CanadaWe could not get the black heater behind the couch to turn on and the master bathroom needs to replace the broken base of the toilet as it is leaking.
Cozy, little 2 bedroom 2 bathroom chalet with very comfortable beds. The kitchen was well stocked. It has a washing machine and dryer in the unit. The unit has lots of windows. The owners left fresh eggs and a bag of crisps and some chocolate. The 3 chicken on the property were cute.

We throughly enjoyed our stay! It is perfect for 3 people, its location perfect for trips to Galway and the countryside. Close to the main road and yet very quiet! The landlord is very friendly and helpful. Thanks, Joslyn, for the fresh eggs from your inquisitive chickens ;). Next time we come to your part of the country, we can hopefully stay with you again. Thanks again!

IrelandI think they can improve the front door to avoid wind to go inside, we got one day really windy, and I could feel the cold breeze coming inside.
Good location to explore Cenemara by car, there were a small village with restaurants, supermarkets, everything you need. Galway City was 30 min by car, which was also handy to visit. The free-range eggs were great, and the apple pie and cookie on the first day were delicious. The chickens were also around, which was also fun for our son to interact.

IrelandJoslyn left us some beautiful fresh pastries and eggs from their chickens! All of which we devoured - they were delicious! It was lovely having the chickens visit in the morning too. We really enjoyed our stay at Sweethaven Chalet. We were in Galway with work but we were able to relax and switch off in this little haven! Thanks so much for facilitating such a comfortable stay.

IrelandArriving late to the property was not a problem. The house was very clean and well aired upon arrival. The hosts left a list of house information and contact numbers to the themselves and local facilities like doctor and taxi. Leaflets and brochures of tourist attractions in the area were available for us to browse in the living room. Fresh, free range eggs were left for us and the chickens were very friendly. The host was very friendly and helpful. We are definitely considering returning for our next holiday.

AustraliaNothing.
I had a few nights' stay in this cottage while exploring Galway and the Connemara area. It was really convenient for both. The cottage is at the back of another property but was quiet, and it was clean, comfortable and well equipped. The supermarket and town (Oughterard) is 1km up the road so easy to get to. Fresh eggs, chocolates and a pastry were nice extras. Thank you!

South KoreaHave nothing but positive things to say about the Sweet haven Chalet! Spotlessly clean, warm, snug, ideally located a few mins from Oughterard a nd the hosts were so accommodating. Fresh eggs left for breakfast, cinnamon rolls, a stocked kitchen with cooking oil and tea, it was ideal. Everything you need for a quiet weekend break. We hope to return ASAP!
