How guest reviews work
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 use a weighted review system which means that 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewNothing....
Everything, the room wasn't a room, it was a wardrobe with bunkbed, we had no where to sit, room itself was only about 2 metres wide.. 2 people couldn't get dressed at the same time.... If you wanted to watch TV, we couldn't use the bottom bunk as there was no head room and could see the TV even if you tried from bottom bunk because of steps up to top bunk. Photos on website did not show this room..
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry to hear that your stay was not what you expected. We would like to clarify that the reservation was made directly through Booking.com, where it is clearly stated that this room includes a bunk bed and that it is a smaller room compared to other categories. The photos provided give an accurate idea of the room’s layout and size. We understand that the room size and the absence of breakfast may not have suited your needs. However, it is also mentioned in the property description that Urban Nest Townhouse is not a B&B, but rather an accommodation offering private rooms only. We always aim to provide a transparent and fair service. Many guests have stayed in this same room without issue, and this is also why the rate is different from larger twin rooms. We regret that the room did not meet your expectations. It seems that perhaps it was not the type of accommodation you were looking for, rather than an issue with the room itself.

Verified reviewVery cute, nicely done, comfortable, staff was very friendly and helpful
Not much, maybe a mini fridge would’ve been nice. In retrospect it was a bit of a walk from downtown but not too bad. I knew that when I booked it. We got our steps in!

Verified reviewParking facilities, clean rooms, bathrooms, spacious enough.
I was kept awake by other people in the hotel a large chunk of the evening/night. It is basically as if you are in the same room as the other guests.

Verified reviewI had my own little private unit with own bathroom. It had a side entrance, and I had my own key so was perfect as I could come and go as i wished. It was very quite but only 10 mins walk to the town center and train/bus station. Was perfect for a solo traveler but would have been comfortable for a couple also. I would recommend this and stay again if in Galway. I was very happy with it especially since I would normally stay in hotels only, I was very impressed by it and very comfortable during my stay.
