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.).

United StatesBar could only figure out how to serve beer or whiskey. no mixed drinks or cocktails. Could have used an oscillating fan in the room, got stuffy with no circulation. No AC.
Restaurant and Bar on property were a convenience since it was a very small town. Everyone was friendly. Lahinch on the coast would be a better choice if you are looking to explore the coastline.

SloveniaNothing in general. It was nice. Maybe to add a WiFi connection, luckily we had enough data and signal to check what’s around, open hours and things to see (you also have a nice info book with suggestions inside the room).
We like the location. There was a possibility to park our car. Sometimes you have to look around the corner. The room was small, but comfortable. It was clean. The staff was nice, but sometimes you have to look around, where they are. But what we really liked was a family run pub inside the house. There was a warm atmosphere and local vibe. Rooms are quiet. You barely hear what is going on. Breakfast was really in British style.

The staff was great! Annya (one of the bar tenders) demonstrated exceptional kindness and others there were just as friendly and helpful. They allowed four adults in a room which saved us a lot of money. For our purposes the location was great. We were able to take a bus to "The Cliffs" for free which also got us free entry.

CanadaThe bathroom fan was noisy and did not work. The fan came on with the light we could not use the light at night, there was no hair dryer and not enough hooks for the number of towels. The mattresses were old and too soft. We could hear our next door neighbour snoring thru the wall. The bedroom curtains did not block out the street light and there was an emergency exit sign that shone green all night long on the bedroom ceiling, illuminating the bedroom.
Parking was good, the breakfast was very good. Lots of options. Location was good for the Doolin ferry. Service at the pub and restaurant was excellent. Friendly attentive staff.

IrelandSadly local businesses have took the government money and 2 big hotels are now closed to the public and have refugees in them who clearly add nothing to local economy, which had obviously had a knock on effect with lots of small local businesses closed in the town.
Lovely hotel , clean and tidy very nice rooms with recently done up bathrooms , top notch shower . Breakfast was lovely , cooked fresh when ordered , also cereal and yogurt and some pastry available.

United StatesThe town was so quiet and, as a result, so was the hotel. There were so few people, most passing through, that we felt out of place.
The beds were comfortable and it was conveniently located near Doolin and the Shannon airport.

United StatesWe knew there was no elevator and this is an older property with only 2 floors, but this is something to maybe consider for those of advancing years and bulky luggage. We were concerned about having to find off-street parking but this turned out to be a non-issue in late August with stormy weather on the horizon but I guess could be more of an issue in nice weather with more tourists
Quaint hotel in striking distance of the cliffs of Moher. Quiet area and parking was easy in the square. Staff very polite and helpful, dinner and breakfast were well received by all. We only stayed one night but enjoyed it and the peaceful surroundings.

SloveniaThe check-in was quick, making our arrival hassle-free. The hotel offers free parking, which is always a plus. Our standard room was well-equipped with everything needed for a one-night stay. Additionally, the Irish breakfast served was delicious and a great start to the day. The hotel’s proximity to a small shop for any last-minute purchases was also very convenient. Overall, our stay was pleasant and met all our basic needs.
