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.

5.0 of 5 bubbles
Just book it. Its beautiful. Really great people run this place. Its clean and open. There's nice large windows to fully appreciate the surrounding breath taking views. The nearby beach is stunning. I went for a cold dip and had a blast. Its located near some of the main sites on the island. You can litterally see both sides of the island from your bedroom window. I'm vegan and we were able to work out a simple, but nice breakfast for me to eat. Loved this place so much.

The only thing to note is that its about 3 miles from Kilronan. Which is easy enough to work with if you plan accordingly. There are taxis and bikes available. You can also message the property about transportation as well.

Extremely clean. Host is very accommodating. Delicious breakfast. Fantastic view of Dun Aonghasa. You can walk to the beach. Private bathroom. Comfortable beds. Being on the Aran Island’s, and staying at the Aran Walkers Lodge far exceeded our expectations.

Perfect place to stay on Inishmore! It’s near the beach, Dun Aengus, and the worm hole. Staff were very friendly, coffee/tea available any time and the breakfast gave me a great start to the day. The area is very dark at night so you can experience the remoteness and quiet of the island. Views of Dun Aengus from my room! I saw it at sunset and sunrise. If you plan to visit the wormhole you will not find a closer place to stay. Book here if you want an authentic stay on Inishmore.

Extremely disappointed in this over priced acommodation. It was located a good distance from Kilronan with a €25 return fare for 2 to get back to Kilronan. There was no warm breakfast, which was shocking considering the price. The lodge itself was full and it felt like we were staying in the neighbours house next door. Asked the owners for a lift, and they said no, whereas we met some other locals during our stay who generously offered us lifts. The water to shower was ice cold. Appalling service and shockingly overpriced.

Yosef Sean and Irene are exceptional hosts. Walkers lodge is spotless clean, delicious Irish breakfast from Irina. Yousef, is an excellent host, he gave me directions to cycle to the worm hole, dun Angus, and to get to the beach, all 3 where beautiful. The scenery is breathtaking and great storytelling. Sean was very kind and brought me up to a film set where they are making a film, it's a big budget film🙂 I would highly recommend the walkers lodge, thank you Josef, Sean & Irina, exceptional stay, Emily

This Lodge is amazing. Very homely and spacious. The rooms and bathrooms were absolutely spotless. The view out our window was fabulous and it's so close to everything.
I would like to mention one lady in particular.. Brenda, Brenda, Brenda what can I say. You are an amazing hostess. So much fun and kindness. Brenda went the extra mile for us. Unfortunately we had to leave a day early because our dog was upset without us. The breakfast was lovely and a great atmosphere. I will definetly have a good 50th Brenda 😉 😉. I will definetly visit again as its a beautiful island with lovely people.

Stayed one night with my family. Spotless, comfortable beds, good breakfast and friendly staff. Lovely beach nearby. We found the location good for attractions as we hired bicycles. It was a very quiet location with lovely scenery. I would stay there again.

Lovely place to stay. Great location for walking. Sean looks out for you with walking tips, local history and lifts. Really adds to the experience. Fabulous fish and chips from a food truck nearby. The wormhole is not far. A beautiful small beach down the road.

I booked a room for myself and my parter (with email confirmation) and arrived to a sold out Inis Mor in August. The last email from the Aran Walkers Lodge noted "we are looking forward to your arrival". Just as we got off the boat I called the lodge and was told that our room had been given away and that they tried to call me. I received no calls from the lodge. The woman in the lodge told me she would try and help me find somewhere else to stay for the night but never called back and ignored my calls. After calling around for a while we finally found a place to sleep. Aran Walkers Lodge is an absolute joke and no one should stay there. We were lucky to find a place to sleep, what if there was nowhere? This review has been removed 2 times now for reasons unknown. This reviews abides by all of the TripAdvisor rules.

This place is now the Aran Walkers Lodge. We stayed here for two nights and enjoyed every minute...didn’t want to leave!

Sean and Jules were lovely hosts who gave us loads of tips for the island and sights, and made us feel very welcome.

The lodge is a fair way from the pier, but if staying overnight, it’s probably one of the best choices. It’s near the Kilmurvy beach which is amazingly clean and empty of people once the day trippers leave. It’s also near the worm hole and Dun Aengus. They have bikes for rental too, so everything you need is here! Dinner can be found in the nearby Kilmurvy village till 5.

Our room had an amazing view of the Dun Aengus and sunrise and sunset. Who could ask for anything more?
