How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewAnna was a wonderful host. Breakfast was delicious, homemade, and thoughtfully served. The place smelled like fresh baked bread, it was awesome. This location is perfect for beach going, or if you're going to take a day trip into Connemara. There's a restaurant area along the beach you could walk to in about 20 minutes, but if you want to go to the Latin Quarter you would want to take a bus or cab. Staying here is totally worth the travel distance to get to downtown. The host is personable and pleasant while at the same time giving you plenty of privacy.

Verified reviewFrom the moment we arrived at Claremount House, we felt genuinely welcomed. Anna greeted us with a warm smile and , and that set the tone for the whole stay. Our room was spotless, bright, and incredibly comfortable — the bed was like sleeping on a cloud, and the view over Galway Bay was simply stunning. Breakfast was a highlight. The cooking is outstanding, with perfectly cooked eggs, fresh bread, and delicious homemade touches that make you feel truly cared for. We also appreciated the personal recommendations for local restaurants and scenic walks, which turned out to be some of our favourite experiences in Galway. The location is fantastic — right on the Salthill promenade for lovely seaside strolls, and only a short walk or bus ride into the city centre. Free parking and excellent Wi-Fi were a bonus. Claremount House isn’t just a place to stay; it’s the kind of warm, welcoming home-away-from-home that makes you wish you could extend your holiday.

Verified reviewLocation is perfect. Place is very clean. Comfortable enough. Quite area. Others mentioned old style showers but it works perfect and that what matters.
Host could be nicer, particularly on check in. I was late for the check in I admit, still you can mention this in a nice way. This turned me off during my stay so I didn't even want to have coffee and tea and went somewhere else to have these.
Hi Anonymous Thank you for your review, Check in time is from 4pm to 7pm You were 4 hours late, you arrived at 10 45pm , and still you were offered coffee. Anna

Verified reviewLovely B&B with wonderful hosts, Anna and Steven. Spotlessly clean, welcoming atmosphere, great location. We thoroughly enjoyed our conversations with Anna and Steven. The awesome breakfast Anna prepared to order was served in the sitting room with a view of the ocean. This stay was the highlight of our Ireland adventure! We enjoyed going to Kylemore Abbey and Cong from this location. We hated to leave…
