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.).

AustraliaAlthough the hotel advertised parking, it's not on site, there is a fee (reduced by the hotel through a voucher), and the parking is a couple of blocks away from the hotel. We arrived fairly late and it was raining (classic Ireland), so needing to navigate that distance to the parking garage was not convenient. However, it's a compromise we made to be in a great location. So just be aware, this hotel is for walkers not drivers.
Fantastic central location, a large and comfortable room and big beds. All the usual amenities - kettle, tea, coffee. The restaurant on site was nice and the staff at the front desk were very helpful.

IrelandThe shower head above the bath looked very old and crusty & only released water from the small centre of it, no matter how much I tried to adjust this. That made washing long hair more difficult & the shower less refreshing. Luckily the bath had a modern hand held hose which helped. When I was checking out I was met with an unfriendly attitude from one particular male staff member, which puzzled me as I had not created any issues that I was aware of. I suspected they considered me a trouble maker for expecting my room to have air conditioning on a hot day. Luckily when I came back later to collect my luggage I was met by a friendly staff member.
When I realised the room I'd booked didn't have air conditioning the hotel offered me another room which did. That room was spacious & had good storage space too. I was also offered a free breakfast the next morning as an apology. The chef prepared mushrooms separately for me due to the others being cooked with meat, so request this if it's your preference. The room had a bath with a shower overhead. The TV included streaming apps such as Netflix & Prime. When I checked out, the hotel stored my larger luggage for me behind reception until I was travelling again later that day. While the lift was being fixed the rooms were accessed by stairs only, but there were only 36 stairs to the 2nd floor with a lounge room half way. Staff offered to help with luggage if needed.

Hotel is very conveniently located in the city centre, a bit noisy at night but the windows shut out most of that.. The bed was very comfortable, the shower was great, good water pressure and temperature. Amazing value for money considering the location

The hotel is in a perfect spot to enjoy the Latin Quarter’s shopping and nightlife. It was nice know security at the door at night, just in case…

IrelandThe room I stayed in was chilly even with the heating on. The window needs to be checked as I felt a strong breeze coming off it.
It is located right in the heart of Galway city, so I had quick access to all the nearby shops, which was the main purpose of the visit.
