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 room was a bit small but for our one night, it was certainly adequate.
The Hyde is a very nice hotel in a good location for experiencing Galway (we only had an afternoon). There was a nice bar/restaurant attached and the front desk people were very helpful and friendly. It is very close to the train station which was great for us in returning to Dublin. Breakfast was Ala carte (not a buffet) so that was a nice change for us.

United StatesThe room was larger then expected, plenty of storage, bathroom was very nice. The reception area was nice and understated. The room was very clean which is important to us, and it made us feel comfortable. The beds were comfortable. We had breakfast included, and it was very good and plentiful. The location was fantastic - walking distance/close to everything. My couple of comments would be that it would be nice to have some add'l shelving in the bathroom for everyone's toiletries and having a little softer pillows would be great.

ItalyA bit overpriced, but it seems all hotels in Ireland are overpriced these days.
Very nice, clean rooms. Great location being situated so close to the train station and Eyre Square. Staff were accommodating. Breakfast was exceptional, and the restaurant is supremely decorated (however they might reconsider their choice of music).

United StatesVery disappointed at the restaurant. Asked our sever for food and drink recommendations and she responded that she didn’t know what was good and never tried the drinks. She was not helpful. Service was very slow, even though the restaurant was not busy. She did not check in after our food came. The food was yummy but the service was terrible. Sad.
The hotel was lovely. Clean, posh and comfy. The staff were helpful and called taxi to arrange travel and offered suggestions on buses. Water pressure could be better
