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...).

IrelandThere wasn't anyone on the desk in the leisure centre so after waiting for 10mins we just went ahead in. Pool was lovely temperature but the steamroom didn't smell nice there was a fusty smell no oils used. Needs a revamp very old looking. Sauna wasn't very hot either.
The river view room we stayed in was absolutely beautiful. We loved the view from the bar area at the back and the easy access via the new bridge down to shops restaurants and bars.

IrelandThe junior suite was small in comparison to other raddison hotels. Not worth the extra.
Room had nice view, but for a junior suite it was small and no different to any ordinary hotel room.

IrelandBreakfast was average. Even though I was eating relatively early (around 7.30/7.45am), some of the buffet options looked as if they’d been sitting there a long time.
Convenient for the purposes of my stay in Athlone. Room was comfortable and clean.

IrelandPool and area around poor. Very slippery floor no warnings posed. Expected slip resistant tiles. Describing rooms as river view misleading. More accurate would be river glimpse if standing next to window and stretching your neck! First room offered was dark. When I complained I was given an alternative which was good.
Good location nice bar and restaurant. Staff were nice but it was clear some were learning.

IrelandOur room (436) was uncomfortably warm and the temperature control did not work so we had to leave the window open at night and despite a request for a quiet room location we were over looking a delivery/service area which meant we were woken at 6am by delivery/moving of beer kegs & bins which was disappointing ....... if we had been staying longer we would have requested a new room. An unfortunate issue but we would stay again but would ensure we had a different room aspect.
Room was good size & clean. Staff were polite and efficient especially Hilary in the bar. Location was central so easy to walk to selection of bars & restaurants.
