Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomThe decor wasn't really to my taste but it's only a personal preference. I would have liked a stronger light in the bedroom - though that may not work as well with the decor.
Breakfast was excellent : lots of choice & great quality of ingredients. The service was superb. The room we stayed in was very spacious, it's an old fashioned style in keeping with the property. It felt warm and comfortable despite the poor weather.

IrelandI honestly can't fault Lough Inagh Lodge, my fiancé and I thoroughly enjoyed our night away here. The setting and the scenery were gorgeous and exactly what we needed.
The welcome we received to the hotel went above and beyond our expectations, Dominic welcomed us with open arms and couldn't do enough for us. The bar and waiters we so friendly and professional all the time and strived to provide the best possible experience. The food at dinner was absolutely delicious (highly recommend the venison) and suited the hotel's style wonderfully. Breakfast was gorgeous too. I loved sitting in the bar by the stove and the charming sitting rooms were an excellent hideaway to enjoy a pint of Guinness and read a book.

United KingdomNothing to dislike, I can see it could be a little awkward getting to the 2 easy chairs next to the fireplace but luckily was nice and quiet when we stayed.
Location, view, the charming building and open fires were all lovely. The views around the whole area will take some beating, with sheep everywhere. Perfect

What a last-minute find as we had to hastily rearrange part of our trip to Ireland. Only stayed one night but could have happily stayed much longer. Beautiful, quaint lodge in the most beautiful surroundings. Lovely large room and bathroom - very spacious. Staff were absolutely superb, genuine and very sincere, and professional.
