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.).

IrelandI asked for rooms close together however my kids were at the very end of the corridor. My 17 year old was grand it was my daughter (10) who was a little anxious as was I. But it was grand in the end.
Breakfast was great however I asked on arrival was it included and the girl said yes however upon our departure we received a bill for 100 Euro for 2 adults 2 kids. Location was great very close to Doolin, Lahinch Ballyvaughan. Plenty to see and do. Live music every night was great.

IrelandN/A
Our stay in the Rathbaun Hotel was nothing short of perfect. From the moment we arrived we received a lovely welcome from Anna who got us checked in and gave us all the information we needed including reccomendations on things to do. Our room was so comfortable and spacious. The bed was AMAZING. It was hard to leave it in the mornings. The duvet and pillows were like being curled up on a cloud! Best sleep we have had in ages. There was bottles water / tea and coffee in the room. The breakfast was so tasty with plenty of options to suit any dietary needs. On the first night we had dinner at the hotel. My partner got the steak which he said was the "best meal" he's had all year (which to be fair has made me feel a bit bad about my home cooking but I don't blame him! It was delicious!!) There is live music every night from 7pm which is so entertaining and adds that extra level of charm to the stay. We will absolutely stay here again. It was fantastic value for money and the service we received from everyone was brilliant. If you are looking for a comfortable and affordable stay in Lisdoonvarna, you really need to look no further. I am so glad we chose this place to stay and it will be our hotel of choice whenever we decide to return. Thank you to Lynn, John, Anna, Tara and all the staff for making our weekend in the west that extra bit special.
