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 StatesStaff were amazingly friendly. Location can't be beat, right in city center, 5 minutes from train and bus. The hotel is very classical and charming. Beds were comfortable and shower was great. Many restaurants, pubs, coffee shops nearby.

IrelandWe had to pay an extra €40 for 2 nights parking at the hotel as we booked through booking.com and not directly with the hotel, we were told that if we had booked through the hotel parking would have been free that to me was a disgraceful charge

IrelandThe room was too warm so we had to open the window or turn on aircon (both were above cot for infant so we could only do when out of room). Food wasn’t good in the restaurant (side of veg was strange stir fry veg and the garlic potatoes weren’t nice).
Location was excellent and the staff were lovely and accommodating.

The breakfast was excellent. The room at first wasn't quite up to the mark, there being no heat in the bathroom. Also, the TV didn't seem to be able to get past RTE 1, But we got over such matters and found the room quite comfortable. I will add that we invited two friends to lunch on our second day and it was very good. We liked the friendliness and ethos of the hotel very much, and would be pleased to stay there again.

IrelandThe only thing was that the room, while a good size and comfortable was a little cold as it didn't seem possible to change the temperature easily and the lighting was confusing to operate. Toothpaste in the rooms would be good! Body Lotion isn't necessary.
Breakfast was very nice, although there was a queue to get seated ... the location is perfect for Galway, as it's right in the centre. The staff were very professional and helpful too!
