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 StatesPerfect central location for anyone looking for a stay in the town of loughrea or the surrounding area, it’s walkable to all of the restaurants and shops in town. The host, Dolores is a trustworthy, wonderful human being who just so happens to host this rental! She made me welcome throughout my stay and offered many ideas for local attractions and places to eat. The facilities are all spotless clean and it’s a much more home like feeling than staying in a hotel. The price of the stay was very reasonable and worth every penny. I’m looking forward to my next stay at the bearstone House when time allows me to get back to Ireland! Thanks a million!

Dolores was so kind and welcoming, we arrived on a motorbike which we were able to park on the drive. Conditions were very wet and Dolores did a great job insisting on drying our kit before the morning departure. Rooms were comfortable and of a good size, very clean with a good shower. Located less than a ten minute walk from shops and pubs was also ideal.

IrelandThis is such a lovely, cosy, warm home. Spotless. The host was the best! So warm and welcoming and has a huge knowledge of the local area and is a keen walker so has lots of tips. My room was so warm and I had a really comfortable night of sleep. The breakfast was fabulous. Such a variety of lovely, healthy, choices 😁. I would highly recommend staying at this lovely place so central in the town and yet tucked away and peaceful and quiet.

There is no breakfast included. The room was comfortable and clean. The host was very friendly and laid back. There is free parking. We enjoyed our stay here.
