Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- Satroy85London, UK68 contributionsNice little afternoon drive. The sun came out which made all the difference. The coastline certainly is very pretty and the ruins of Clifden Castle basked in the not so warm afternoon sun. We were based in Clifden and it was a short drive to end off our day.Written 23 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- ronwynpGonubie, South Africa57 contributionsWhen in west Galway this modernist castle is worth the visit.
The parking area outside is rather small , but the walk to the castle is pleasantWritten 26 June 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - KiamomPittsburgh, PA349 contributionsWhile visiting Clifden, my husband and I visited the Marconi Station which is adjacent to the Alcock and Brown landing site. We enjoyed walking through the site and reading the information boards. We learned about the Marconi Station and also about the Alcock and Brown Transatlantic flight. The walk is mostly level on a gravel path. There are sheep wandering which adds to the atmosphere. The landowner is harvesting peat. You can see the various stages of the process in different areas of the site. It was interesting. There are nice views of the mountains in the distance. Overall a very nice place to walk.Written 13 October 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
