How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

I’d wish hotels that advertise a double bed would use a double bed ,eg , king size or queen size and not two single beds pushed together , otherwise it’s a lovely hotel

Verified reviewThe Vaughan Lodge Hotel was an absolute gem. The outside of the Lodge certainly did not define the warmth that you found inside. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. They gave us recommendations on attractions in the area and provided a map with markings. The room we had was spacious with a lovely view. The entire facility was clean and welcoming. It is a family run business, and you can feel the thought that they put into it to make your stay comfortable. We really enjoyed the laid back, relaxing atmosphere. There is no pretense here, which is exactly what we were looking for. Highly recommend staying here.
I think everything was very good.

Verified reviewThe property was very convenient & near the town of lahinch. It was well maintained & our bedroom was spacious & well fitted out with everything you need. It was a pleasant quiet location.
The bar area lacked atmosphere, it would be nice if it had some entertainment- like Irish music - maybe for an hour or two to attract guests to stay at the hotel I. The eve.

Verified reviewThe location was ideal just a 5 minute stroll down to the promenade. The hotel was clean comfortable and had a cosy welcoming atmosphere. We would definitely like to return.
We felt the Breakfast/Dining room was a little bit dated and the breakfast itself was only ok but other than that I couldn’t fault this hotel.

Verified reviewThe overall ambiance and service were first class, and the breakfast was exceptional. Also, the bar is open till late. The staff were so kind in providing us with a lift to the bus stop - nothing was too much for them. We are now booked to return in September.
Absolutely nothing. Everything was fantastic!
