The ratings published by Connemara Holiday Lettings are general ratings of the properties they manage, as they are intermediaries between the owner and Airbnb. In fact, upon arrival, a review was posted about this accommodation in which they said that some beds were very uncomfortable and the price was very high for the quality and condition of the accommodation. A price that the owner was unaware of. I did not like that they could charge me a non-refundable deposit of €105 in case the apartment was damaged, or a deposit of €500 on my credit card, because they say things happen. I've been on this platform for many years and I've never left a property in worse condition than I found it. You have to explain well in the listings and be honest if you are an intermediary, saying so clearly. I don't think it's acceptable that if they receive a complaint, their response is that they don't manage the accommodation directly, since they take a significant commission.

This was one of the best rentals we’ve ever had. Great location in a very beautiful, quaint Irish town – easy walk to pubs and restaurants. The accommodation was so nice-squeaky clean, plenty of space for everyone – five nice size bedrooms, each with their own bathroom and a full kitchen and dining area and TV area where we could relax after a day of exploring the Irish coast. The host was very kind and made us feel welcome when we arrived with homemade scones and strawberry jam, answered all our questions and gave us some great recommendations on places to eat. I give it my highest possible recommendation!
