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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

Convenient location, clean and tidy. We had our evening meal at the bistro attached and were very pleased. Will stay again.

AustraliaThere is nothing that we don't like about the Shamrock. The staff are great and the facility has everything that we need. So when we stay there after a long drive we know that we don't have to go anywhere else because the Shamrock has it all.
We only stay at the Shamrock when we go north because its great value for money. The rooms are very clean, tidy, the breakfast in room we don't use but its nice that its there for people that do.

AustraliaWe couldn't use balcony as smoking is still allowed on balconies and the people in next door room chain-smoked. Just bad luck for us I suppose but we were out and about most of the time. There was a problem trying to find a taxi or uber most of our stay. Waited for an hour for taxi at airport and waits for Ubers were 20 mins or more. Not sure if this is always like this but will book a car rental next time.
Breakfast included cereals, lovely juices, yogurt and bread to toast in room. We had to be out early each day and this was so convenient and enjoyable. Room was large and comfortable with fridge and small dining setting. Beds were very comfortable and servicing of rooms each day was excellent . Only shampoo and soaps supplied but I always bring my own travel size shampoo, conditioner and shower gel. Restaurant is at front of accomodation and meals were always good. A little on the pricy side but worth it. Staff there were friendly and helpful especially when they were booked out and we hadn't booked and they managed to fit us in somehow. There is a bus stop outside but you will need cash. The accomodation cost was very reasonable and the Shamrock will not disappoint.
