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):
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.
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.).

SpainThe least disabled friendly hotel I’ve ever stayed in. In need of a refit, very old looking in the rooms and needs disabled access.
Great location and very good staff, the restaurant was good for both evening meal and breakfast.

IrelandWe didn't have dinner in the restaurant, as we were in the area for a funeral. we were a bit disappointed that we had to sit in the foyer instead of the bar to have a drink at 10pm, as there was no free tables in the bar.
Breakfast was great.

IrelandThe hotel is not really disabled friendly. A lot of stairs to get to the rooms. I don't know how a wheelchair user would cope. The Internet barely worked. Food two areas to look at, great looking fat chips, but more care needed when cooking, as they were still hard in the middle. Also need to look at a good recipe for mushy peas, they were just mashed processed peas and that doesn't make mushy peas, plus they arrived at the table cold.. The fish was excellent and not greasy. My companion ordered the curry. It was well presented and was nice and palatable. It was not, however, rich in spices. The vegan, chocolate was good and light enough to eat after a meal. The Disabled parking bays are in the right position, but are not wide enough for wheelchair users to get in their wheelchairs. Real problem for solo travellers. The same would apply to other disabled people. Despite a few issues, which I highlight not as complaints, but as suggestions for improvement. I would still rate it as 4 4-star hotel.
Friendly polite staff. From the start, the reception, bar and restaurant staff were very helpful, polite and friendly, including a handyman who helped us unlock our door. Ordered a little-known non- alcohol drink, it was made for me. A nice touch was that the bartender came out to check that he did it right. In the room it would be helpful to have alternative teas in the tea box, eg lemon, green or Peppermint teas. Another nice touch was that there were two bottles of eco water in the room and two small cakes in a small dome. The Spa was lovely, friendly and had a gentle staff member. Treatments and relaxing rooms are great. A thing to look at is that the rooms smelled of drains.

IrelandOn our arrival at the hotel at around 4.30 - 5.00 lady at reception told us no lifts. We have knee problems. Took us to a bedroom that was already occupied. . Then another room 2 single beds. Couldn't sleep the first night and then the assistant manager [Considine] took over. He showed us the lift and how to use it. Very helpful man. He was so nice and very obliging.. After that our stay was beautiful. We had booked a dulux bedroom.
Lovely hotel. Nice assistant manager. Couldn't do enough for us. Lovely girl from Tipperary a teacher. Very helpful. Catriona helped us with the sat nav in our car to help us to go to Limerick. 2 lovely girls. Couldn't praise them enough.
