I expected comparable comfort—especially since I’m paying more here—but key amenities like air conditioning and a TV were missing. Dinner was, frankly, disappointing for the price. The food lacked creativity and flavor, and the service fell short. Trainees were serving and couldn’t explain the dishes or answer basic questions about the food. Really? When you’re paying over $100 per person for a meal, you expect servers who are at least knowledgeable. The staff were friendly, but the lack of expertise was noticeable. Outside of the beautiful setting, everything else felt mediocre. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Donald Sep 25, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Ireland’s best boutique hotel Hands down the best experience we could’ve ever imagined.

The house, grounds, and dining were all excellent, but the staff (less the waitresses and bartenders) were the low point of our trip. We had several interactions where, at best, we were made to feel like an inconvenience, and at worst like we were lesser. Basic requests like ordering room service for dinner were met with obvious annoyance from the front desk. So much so that we actually dragged ourselves to dinner after a terrible day of travel because it seemed like such a burden for them. On our final morning we showed up to breakfast as it was opening because we needed to get an early start. The hostess seemed aggravated and treated us like we had showed up an hour early. While none of these interactions were hugely problematic we left feeling like we needed to apologize for showing up in the first place. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Susanne May 21, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Superfint, men 8/10! Underbart läge och natur. Fantastiskt hus och intilliggande rum i hus. Trevlig personal. Dyra rum som ska ha allt för den prisnivån. Saknade i rummet: duschtvål, och små toalettartiklar. Frågade personal om tvålen i allmän toa gick att köpa och blev hänvisad till hotellets butik. Dock såldes den inte där. Middagen i hotellets restaurang ok, 7 av 10. Saknade espressomaskin i frukosten och fruktsallad. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/A4245306892786194EC976F3D15845E129A3FDB81684682970595.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/28089334FF9CD1E2EA8AC8597B847D5DAF31A3691684683062906.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/837744F47097C064C349589AAF0BA16853DD5D7F1684683062284.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/99F7422F572AD62C60A9EE9CA573CB5ABB81067C1684683062756.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Susanne Stayed 1 night in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jamie Mar 17, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Ballymaloe House is a beautiful property and the everyone there was so kind and helpful.
