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.).

IrelandStaff, food brilliant...ventilation system and traffic noise meant we had to close window, which meant room was warm and stuffy..no air conditioning. Have stayed in many hotels in Galway, but will always come come back here.

United KingdomWhen we paid, at checkin. We were asked did we want the transaction to be in euros or pounds Stirling? I mistakenly said pounds and we got ripped off with the exchange rate. Manager clearly knew when we questioned the price we had been quoted against the price we paid. It would have been nice if he had warned us😟😟😟. He just blamed booking.com not sure that’s actually accurate. Future guests from the uk beware.🤨
Nice restaurant, free parking, reasonable location for the town.

IrelandBreakfast items could have been topped up a bit quicker but appreciate it was probably a busy period for breakfast
Stayed as a group booking - fantastic staff from booking to when we got to hotel. Ate dinner in hotel - food was top quality. Always hard to please everyone in a group but this group was absolutely delighted with the hotel stay and the birthday lady celebrating her 60th had the best time. Every single staff member we encountered has excellent customer service. Well done - very hard in a hospitality industry. We are all recommending to all of our friends and family and will definitely be back when we are next in Galway.

IrelandThere was a strange odour upon entering the room, but it quickly vanished once we opened the window. The shower power was not great but enough to wash. The shower hose was worn at the top and obviously needs replacing. The shower although was clean, looked dated because of the staining? on the floor and the missing grout/mould in between tiles. The complementary toiletries were firmly fixed to the walls, no shower cap or basics provided. The bedroom although clean and comfortable, we feel could do with possible deep cleaning of fabrics to rid the odour in room, as it was there again in the morning after shutting the window for the night, but again disappeared once we opened the window, there was slight condensation on the window, so this could possibly be the cause. The room was warm and comfortable, but got cold during the night, but the duvet was very nice and warm and the bed was very comfortable. Unfortunately, we noticed that there was an eyelash stuck to the picture above the bed, which obviously should not have been there. In fairness we wouldn't have noticed it either only for the couple one side of us making such a continuous commotion that we were trying to listen to which side the noise was coming from. Due to this noise from the people next door I was unable to sleep from 2am onwards. This was not the hotels fault and down to the inconsiderate couple next door and their arguing which continues until well after 5am. Also doors slamming. When I brought this to the hotel's attention the receptionist was so understanding and considerate, and asked us if we reported it to the front desk, which we said we didn't, as I didn't see really what they would be able to do with the noisy people. Now the value for this rather worn room was what really irritated me and where I felt it really let it down. We were charged €219 for an executive King room for 1 nights stay, room only rate THROUGH booking.
We liked the location and the proximity to the city. We loved the breakfast and really enjoyed the choice of variety and freshly baked/made breakfast. All the staff were so friendly and very helpful, especially the very understanding receptionist, who handled our room criticism professionally, understandably and efficiently. After our conversation with the lady we actually reflected on our stay and seeing she was so understanding and kind enough to give us our breakfasts with no charge, we decided to increase our score, because while some of the issues were down to the hotel upkeep the lack of sleep was beyond the hotel responsibility. The room bed & linen was spotlessly clean as were the floor and room in general.
