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.).

IrelandI did find my meals very tasty, but also a bit rich for my palate a lot of salt. I had turkey and ham Sunday. My mash under the turkey and ham was very very soft I didn't like that it was very off putting. I eat at 5 thought the veg was far too overdone nothing seemed that it was cooked fresh. Except for the chips. I though one thin slice of ham and one slice of turkey was very minimulilistic. We eat dinner next day also too much salt on fries. Food could be fresher and less over done veg.
I didn't have the breakfast. I loved the views from my window and my room had everything I needed. Staff were very helpful and accomadating.

United KingdomStaff; Breakfast and dining room staff could not "wait" to clear the table of plates, even if partner (in this case) had not finished the breakfast or meal. While I understand the team is under pressure to clear tables for the next "guest/s", it left us with an impression "please move on, we are busy". We had to ask for your team not to remove plates until our meals were completed. The above approach was experienced each day we stayed/dined at your hotel. Food was excellent, tasty and well presented.
Reception and GYM facilities are great, professional.

IrelandMy room overlooked a really loud set of extractor fans and, unfortunately, it was hot, so I had to sleep with the windows open 🤣 I know that’s partially my own fault, as I could have paid extra for a waterfront view instead.
Really clean, comfortable rooms Great location - right in the town Staff were so lovely and helpful! The pool was nice (albeit a bit different to the photos online)

United KingdomWe had our car and where one could park for the hotel was not entirely clear. This may have been my fault, I may have missed directions in my booking, but when we got there the signs suggested that the hotel's own car park was closed and that parking in the APCOA car park adjoining it carried the risk of being fined or clamped. I asked at reception but found the receptionist who checked us in unclear, and not particularly interested, in which areas of the wider car park had been assigned to the hotel. I was left a little anxious that I would come out in the morning and find my car clamped. It wasn't, happily!
This is a good hotel for an overnight stay in Athlone. It is conveniently located close to the centre of town. It has everything one would need for a comfortable stay.

United KingdomMostly it was fine, but just a small gripe. At dinner we asked about the special deal for meals before 7pm but were told by the waiter that the price had increased from the one shown on the card. This could have been a mistake but a niggle nonetheless. We had the normal menu instead.
Room was large and comfortable. It was in the attic area with varilux window so they only gave a limited view. The hotel had a lovely setting alongside the river and with very easy access to the town. The breakfast was excellent. Overall, though, it was very good and we will stay there again
