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):
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.).

United StatesThis was a great find! The location was excellent, especially if you're visiting the Cliffs of Moher and the Burren Way. It's also only a couple of miles to a small town with a couple of great pubs for dinner. The host is super friendly and very helpful with suggestions for things to do nearby or on the way to wherever you're headed next. She also makes a very nice breakfast. The room we had was spacious, comfortable and very clean.

United StatesThis comment should not detract from the exceptional welcome we received, nor the wonderful quality of this space, but I did notice it was easy to hear other guests in their rooms. The sound does travel easily, so this may be an awareness point for families traveling with small children. Sometimes, our little people's excitement may wake other guests.
I loved the location of O'Leary's Lodge! This B&B is situated within the beautiful rolling hills near Doolin. The quietness was soul-soothing for the urban traveler!

IrelandEverything was great, tbh. During my stay, I can only say that I needed to iron my shirt, but I couldn't find it in the room we stayed in. I am sure if I had asked the reception, they could have helped me.
The place is peaceful and quiet. It is very close to Doolin. It is surrounded by green and lovely areas. Aoife is an amazing host who is very helpful and positive.

United StatesWe loved our time at O'Leary's. Be prepared to have to drive into Doolin, but it's only a few minutes.
Aoife was a font of knowledge and recommendations for our visit to Doolin and the Burren - this was a huge bonus! We took nearly all of her recommendations and this really made our time well spent. We enjoyed breakfast each morning and the property was lovely. The beds were comfortable and the family room worked well for the four of us.
