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...).

United KingdomCheck in machine at hotel was a bit slow and complicated. Although I knew the room would be fairly small it was quite tight to manoeuvre round. No lift for heavier bags.
Central location in street with good pubs and restaurants. Clean & modern rooms. Friendly staff. Great for road trip visiting Wild Atlantic Way.

IrelandIf you need help with luggage, best to check what room you are in as no lift/elevator.
Great location. It was very clean. Our room was fronted to The Square. It was quiet at night generally. Room was really clean and lovely shower. Heating system was reliable and easy to use. Alexandra and the other staff we met were all very friendly. You have to bring ID with you to check in.

IrelandIt was a modern, clean, and very comfortable room, very conveniently located in the middle of Clifden. Street parking is available, but may be a challenge during busier times of day - I arrived in the evening and had no trouble finding a free spot though. There is no staff on site, but the check-in process was very clear, quick, and straight forward on a digital check-in kiosk. Everything was great! I would stay here again or recommend it, especially for solo travellers, or for people who are busy outdoors all day long.

IrelandThe room is incredibly small n the bathroom tiny. Actually, the smallness sink I've ever seen, except for on a plane.. if you hand a number of bags, which we didn't thankfully, good luck with trying to fund space to put them. No TV????? There really should be. Light over the mirror/ desk wasn't working. The bath towels should be bigger.
We loved the location of the hotel. Also, the cleanliness and easiness of checking in and out. The bed and pillows were very comfortable.

United StatesI would like to have had more info on parking prior to arrival. There was no one there to help and we had trouble getting hold of the remote working staff person. I was finally helped by a shop owner nearby. Also, we were there on a night of record heat and there was no way to control the temperature in the room. (No AC which is typical but very hot weather which is not!). The window only opened a very small crack. This was my first experience in a hotel with no staff so it was a little stressful figuring it all out; maybe if I was younger? Staff responded very quickly when I sent her an email asking about parking and the heat. Despite no one there, you get a quick response if your phone plan works in Ireland or via email.
Great location - right downtown and very close to good pubs and excellent restaurants. Once I figured out parking (hard to do with no staff at the hotel) and the check in process, it was fine. The room was very small but very nice with a small, modern, clean bathroom. Now that I've figured the place out, I'd certainly stay here again if I ever come back to Clifden.

This hotel is exactly how it is listed. The hotel is in the centre of the town, with parking outside the door. During the week the parking is free from 6pm to 11.30am. Even in the height of summer we managed to get parking easily. The check in was easy via the machine in the lobby, with the instructions having been provided the day prior. The room was on the first floor, was plenty big enough, very comfortable bed and bedding and very clean bathroom. There was a kettle with tea and coffee provided. Close-by are numerous restaurants and bars for food as well as a centrally located SuperValu.
