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.).

Very spacious, comfortable room and stellar views over the lake. Easy access to downtown Clifden and Sky Road. Lovely stay, including breakfast the next morning. The pancakes are wonderful!

United KingdomNo issues whatsoever.
I really enjoyed arriving at this peaceful and beautiful location. Then, meeting Lydie and Pierre was a joy. Lydie is excellent at explaining things very clearly and I absolutely loved my room - very French decor. The view of the bay from my bedroom was lovely. Extremely comfortable bed, a fantastic sleep, and the breakfast was excellent. There was a wide choice of cereals, including several healthy options, followed by choices of cooked breakfast. Twelve guests arrived for breakfast at a similar time, and I was really impressed with how smoothly and cheerfully Lydie served us all. I thought the house rules were very appropriate and I liked the request for being quiet from 10pm. I would love to return one day.

IrelandOn our first night, there was a snorer (presumably a man) in the next room who made so much noise it was very difficult to get to sleep. However, I'm not sure what our Landlady could have done about that in the middle of the night!

United StatesThe room was very comfortable, good size, with a great view. The owner greeted us warmly, showed us to our room and explained all the details we had to know (breakfast, locking the front door, etc). The location is wonderful , right off the Sky Loop Road with amazing views of the bay not far from Clifden. We had a great breakfast the next morning before continuing our trip.

United KingdomThin walls so you and other guests could hear each other, moving around, talking...so one did not feel totally relaxed. Breakfast was low par, limited options....not great if you are a vegetarian. However, it is advised that you tell your host upon arrival of any dietary requirements you have so these can be catered for.
Great location, wonderful view, nice clean room, and a our French host Liddy was very warm, welcoming and friendly.
