Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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 KingdomOur bedroom was on the 2nd floor and we were kept awake by a performer in the bar on the ground floor who started at 10pm -( billed to end at 2am) we should have been told before arrival and given the opportunity to cancel our rooms and then maybe people who wanted the entertainment could have taken them - the bar was relatively empty
Breakfast excellent, restaurant menu delicious and the staff were lovely

FranceThe toilet and bathroom could have been a little more lit and clean. There were no bottles of drinking water in the room, unlike all other hotels of this type in Ireland. I didn't find a hairdryer either. The room smells food being cooked downstairs in the restaurant and is quite noisy. The door is locked with a very old tricky lock, which is not always easy to deal with.
Cozy hotel with convenient access to the beach. Nice atmosphere, attentive staff. Wonderful restaurant downstairs, excellent cuisine. Family rooms are small but equipped with everything you need.

IrelandI really enjoyed my stay at the Cliff House Hotel. Everyone from management to staff were very welcoming and helpful from the moment I walked in the door. The first room I was allocated was very small but when I mentioned this there was no problem and they moved me to a bigger room for the same rate. It was last minute when I booked so I was grateful to have had the opportunity to move. The room was bright, very clean and even though there was no bath the shower had fantastic pressure and plenty of hot water. There were two single beds and the bed had crisp linen and was very comfortable. The room overlooked the back yard and had a small view of the sea between buildings but the beach was only a short walk from the hotel so that didn't bother me. I still got to see the most beautiful sunset out my window. I had forgotten my hair drier and the rooms don't have any but I was able to borrow one from reception for the duration of my stay. The staff in all areas were very friendly and helpful. I ate in the bar both nights and the food was delicious with plenty of choice. The staff were very attentive and constantly checked if I needed anything and never left me waiting for service. I have to mention the breakfast, there was a huge selection of fresh fruits, juices, yoghurt, cereals, breads, meats, cheeses, etc. if you just wanted a continental breakfast and the hot breakfast menu had a great selection also. The omlette was perfectly cooked and very tasty. I'll definitely be back!
