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 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):
- 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.).

Nothing not to like.
Everything about this stay was great. The location is perfect, walkable to all the shops and pubs but we could park our car on the premises. Our room was clean, and the beds were comfortable. The shower was great, and it was nice to be able to open windows for fresh air. Breakfast was ordered the night before and was a good size. I would recommend this accommodation to anyone visiting Doolin.

Very clean with a great location. Easy to walk to all restaurants and bars. The breakfast was superb. An excellent idea to choose food the previous evening, then all ready when we got up and no food wastage. Everything was presented so nicely. Will definitely stay here again. Thank you

Absolutely loved our stay here. So close to local bars and restaurants as well as Doolin Village. Facilities in the room were amazing- fresh towels, en-suite , tea, coffee, hairdryer etc. Breakfast was excellent with lots of variety. Claire who greeted us on arrival was so lovely and welcoming- she gave us fantastic recommendations. Couldn’t fault anything about our stay- we will definitely be back again!☺️

Nothing. Perfect for our needs. Nothing to do with the hotel, but McDermott's pub was great but unfortunately extremely crowded during high season. Go early if you want to get a table. 200 people is a lot for a modest pub.
Located in a rural area but within walking distance of two popular pubs and just a few miles from the Cliffs of Moher. Breakfast was good. Parking easy. Very friendly owner. Proximity to the cliffs allows for visiting early or late to avoid the crowds.

Really a place for a rest from hiking and walking ! We got an e-mail in advance with lots of useful information including hiking routes closed at the Cliffs of Moher which we did not know and therefore were grateful about. Apart, nice and calm room, very good breakfast and a good pub around the corner (also a hint)
