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.).

IrelandThey kept calling me asking if I was still coming. The room was paid for, the booking was made. I had every intention of coming and checking in but got delayed and they made it feel as if I was inconveniencing them by not being there at their designated time.
Easy check in - no issues, room as expected, good size, with good heating and okay bathroom. However view was awful. Would recommend paying a little extra for a decent view rather than roofs.

IrelandThe Junior Suite, for the money, is a little small for my expectations. Although on the 4th floor, the noise of an event resonated through to the room.

IrelandThe room was so uncomfortably hot even when the thermostat was on the lowest setting with the window wide open. I phoned reception and it seemed to be the temperature set for the whole hotel which turned off at 9pm. The shower gel and soap in the room was empty and the drain was blocked in the bath so the water filled above my ankles when using the shower.
Very comfortable and big bed. Nice room. Very friendly and helpful staff. Good location and facilities in the hotel and the room

IrelandThe breakfast was not cooked enough especially the pudding. The staff just showed me the table for breakfast , never informed me it was a buffet until I asked them. I was sitting for a minute. The next staff member asked if I wanted tea or coffee, still did not inform me of buffet breakfast. Served me coffee and then went away. I know people are tired and busy. But I was not in this hotel ever before . The price of the accommodation was overly priced for the service that was provided.
Thd location.

MalaysiaCar park is a shared public parking space, which get full by night especially if the hotel have events (which I notice it’s almost everyday during my 6 days of stay). On one of the day I ended up parking on top of a road side kerb. The initial room they gave was at the 1st floor, which were too stuffy and without ventilation. (Unbearably). Upon complaining, immediately they change room to the 4th floor where ventilation can be felt in corridor and room. Heater is scheduled and can’t really be controlled from the room. I ended up getting a table fan from them so that the air is circulated. Thank you.
Location is walking distance to the town centre. Athelone is just beautiful, almost like a resort.

United StatesNot a big problem, but, on our last night the electricity for the room lights went off. The night manager tried three time to restore power, but it was unsuccessful.
1. Early morning breakfast was available (always delicious) and gave us flexibility to leave early on our daily sojourns. 2. Liked the option to not have daily room cleaning. 3. Room security (using room card in the lift) was good. 4. We met Manuela, who works in the bar and restaurant, She's very friendly and really enhanced our visit. 5. Checking in and out was quick and easy. Staff helped us get a taxi, that was super nice!

IrelandThe service in the hotel bar was poor. I felt they were unstaffed and had little training. They didnt have my dinner booking although it was rectified quickly and we got a table. The meal felt overpriced for the experience

IrelandParking was a bit confusing as the elevator door, which leads to upstairs reception, needs a card-key to access otherwise you need to walk around the front to get to reception.
The staff were very pleasant and very hospitable.

IrelandCar parking is tight. If you take a drive it is possible there will be no space when you come back. Parking is poor and expensive in Athlone in general. Irish hotels are very expensive for what you get these days and this one is no exception. It is much cheaper to go abroad than to take a local holiday in Ireland.
The lady at reception who registered us initially but also moved us to a new room when there was a plumbing issue was very polite and efficient. She should be commended. The room was lovely and warm and the central location cannot be beaten. There are plenty of good places to eat within a short distance if one does not want to eat in the hotel. All in all you won't do better in Athlone.
