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 KingdomDidn’t realise water in the fridge so used the tap water for the kettle. Made the tea taste horrid. Maybe let guests know to use the water cartons for the kettle.
Very convenient. Lovely receptionist.

AustraliaThe bathroom fittings need improving There was nowhere to put toiletries in the shower, no towel rails or hooks, ledges or anywhere to put things except on the floor. This could easily be improved and make a big difference. Otherwise it is was very functional and convenient and we liked our stay.
Great lication and parking fee was reasonable and well organised. Room was small but very clean and comfortable.

AustraliaThe room was very tight. It was OK for us as we were only stopping for one night, but if you were going to stay for a few more nights and you´re not travelling solo, I would recommend booking a larger room.
This lovely boutique residence is in a very central location - walking distance to all that we wanted to see in Galway. The room was clean and quite comfortable. The staff were very friendly and attentive.

New ZealandThe car park was narrow enough (shared with another hotel) but the designated parking spaces were easily visible and the staff advised me where to go beforehand. No breakfast but many great options on the doorstep!
The location was so central, and yet so quiet, no street noise was heard at all. Close to both the bus station and train station. The staff were a pleasure to deal with and so welcoming. The rooms were spotless and looked newly painted (or just very well maintained) and the beds were super comfy. Really good value too. The Lane is now my go-to when i stay in Galway!

IrelandThe only down side of the great location is that it can be a bit noisy. If you're a light sleeper, bring earplugs and you'll be grand.
The location is second to none, literally a stones throw from the bus/train station and Eyre Square. Easy access to some great restaurants and bars, and a great start point for trips to Connemara, the Aran Islands and lots of other visitor attractions.
