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 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):
- 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.).

We enjoyed the visit to Castlebar. We were on a trip around the north coast of Ireland meeting friends in Castlebar who recommended the hotel. The hotel was well located and suited our needs. Very friendly owners who provided excellent facilities and services.

Bathroom was a little basic; functional but nothing special.
Carragh House did all it promised - clean, well run and close to all amenities. Where Carragh House really excelled was the staff; they were exceptional, nothing was too much bother and ever interaction was warm and friendly. They do Ireland proud.

Absolutely nothing bad can be said about this place!! Honestly a great place to stay, great location and even nicer people. You will not be disappointed or let down if you choose to stay here. Outstanding value.
Excellent place to stay. I cant recommend this place highly enough. Owners/staff all extremely friendly and helpful. Clean and tidy rooms and facilities. We were staying over in the area to play golf for a couple of days, and if we are ever in this general area again we will definitely not be staying anywhere else.

Just a bit too hot at night. Couldn't open window as on main road. Very minor niggle I know. Didn't spoil our stay at all.
Great location, we could walk into town for dinner easily. Hosts really friendly and knowledgeable. Very helpful in setting us on the right route for the next stage in our journey. Nothing was too much trouble, shower and breakfast more than adequate! Thank you.

- • Solo traveller
- • Double Room
- • Stayed 3 nights
I would advise printing a short info leaflet about places to go/eat etc in Castlebar as upon check in I couldn't possibly retain ALL the names and directions I was given orally! (I should have requested an external/open view room when I was booking as unfortunately I just had a wall outside the window - this is totally on me, of course...I usually book hotels and always request this, but just didn't think of this when I was booking the B&B!)...
The hosts are extremely hospitable, welcoming, helpful, and friendly; the breakfast - cereal, fruit, yoghurt, juice, and cooked Irish - was excellent with copious coffee; the (ensuite) room was spacious and clean with a kettle and generous tea and coffee sachets and milk and sugar; good TV and wifi; the location is just on the edge of Castlebar (on the road to Ballina), just minutes from the centre on foot (the train station is on the edge of the other side of the town)...

Des and Oonagh were fantastic hosts. We were told all the things we needed in a very calm and casual chat and they were on hand when we needed some other things too. They catered for our gluten allergy also which we really appreciated. Top hosts and a great breakfast.

Stayed for few nights, i have absolutely zero complaints about my stay. Carragh House was warm, it was a clean and comfy bedroom, pleasent staff and owners and the location was only minutes from town centre with a shop directly opposite. Some pubs and takeaways all within walking distance and I took in a movie at the cinema one night,its only about 10min walk. Would be happy to stay again or recommend to others.

The staff were delightful and helpful from the start. The room was clean and with all the amenities we needed, in addition to free Netflix being available to watch at night. The hotel was also walking distance from a number of great venues to eat dinner and listen to live music. Breakfast was delicious and the staff gave us helpful directions on where we should go for our next day.
