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 reviewStaff was exceptional. We had a problem with our rental car and they assisted us in resolving the issue. My husband left his suit bag in the room and didn't realize it until we were 3 hours away from the hotel. The staff had it couriered to our final destination where he would need the suits and it couldn't have worked out more perfectly! Liked that it was away from the touristy area of the city.
The room was too warm and we could only open the windows if we raised the blinds-didn't want to have the windows open all night with the noise from the restaurant and parking lot. Room is VERY quiet when the windows are closed--that's a good thing!

Verified reviewYou cant find anywhere that the property is right on top of a pub. It’s more of a pub with rooms to stay, so it was noisy all the time, from the early morning until late at night you could hear the music from the pub in your room. Reception stuff was none existent so you could not complain to anyone. Finally, all the rooms overlook the pub/hotel parking and given you were on the first flood you practically had two choices, no natural light, or flashing everyone in the parking lot.

View of the parking lot from the room. Bit of a walk to get into the charming part of town.

Verified reviewThe room was big .Nice decoration.Bed very comfy. We had dinner in the pub and it is really worth it.Good cooking and exceptional friendly service.
The staff at reception was not welcoming, not even acknowledging us when we arrived. In spite of secondary glazing the room vas noisy due to the traffic passing by ( especially buses and trucks).A bit of soundproofing is needed there.

Verified reviewGreat location; only a leisurely walk to main downtown of Galway action. Rental car was safe in the parking lot. Free parking. Also it was very convenient that a gas station was just across the street to refuel before we continued our journey. Comfy bed & tons of wardrobe & drawer space. Iron & ironing board handy in wardrobe.
Although very clean, the room smelled of stale smoke. As we were there for only one night we didn't bother asking for a new room.
