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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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):
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.
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.).

United StatesThe shower was very tiny and not really helpful for a normal adult size (let alone a larger person). But the shower would be better if it had a place to put shower toiletries inside the shower as well as a removable shower head to fully shower all areas of the body. That's my only advice to owner.
Place was charming and had all the amenities we needed. Wish we stayed longer than one night to fully enjoy the home and Galway. Would recommend staying a longer stay in this area. Can take the bus or taxi easily into downtown Galway.

United StatesThe weather - which was not the responsibility of the Proprietors! We arrived at the tail end of a recent hurricane and underestimated how strong the wind and rain would be. We walked to a nearby hotel and the wind was so strong it bent our umbrellas. We tried to be frugal by walking but we were fools for not using our vehicle! Live and learn!
Proprietors were very friendly and helpful. Occupied a 2nd floor room. Two single beds each against a wall enable space in the room. Compact bathroom. Shower worked adequately. Good storage space for belongings. Very good Irish breakfast. Parking available near the B&B.

United StatesThe 3-Bedroom apartment we've rented was just ok. Nothing wrong with it but definitely not as advertised and very small. Bathroom and Shower was not 100% clean and there was now hot water for the ones who had a shower before 6am.
Good location (if you have a car) in a safe neighborhood. Hosts were friendly.

United StatesTwin room was small, tiny bed, tiny shower, low pressure. Tricky carrying even a small bag up the little staircase.
Friendly host, charming and cosy, quiet location, good breeze during summer keeps room cool. This is the classic Irish bed and breakfast that would not be out of place in the 1950s
