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 reviewNot a lot to like to be honest. Rooms were clean.
We had 2 rooms - one had air conditioning, the other hadn't. The rooms were dated and lacked such basics for a 4 star hotel as bottles of water in the room. The breakfast was poor. Staff did not advise how the buffet worked or of any opportunity to order freshly prepared options.

Verified reviewThe bistro and breakfast staff were lovely and helpful and honestly saved the experience for us.
This is not a 4* hotel. On arrival were several small yappy dogs fighting and they didn't stop for the evening. The front desk staff were cold and unhelpful. The hotel is grotty and tired and no way a luxury experience. I've had better breakfast buffets in student accomodation. The final straw, we weren't in the main hotel but an annex. Not a problem until you find out you have to walk outside to get there (Galway being famous for the rain). There was a covered pathway but it was being used to store excess furniture. The area we had to navigate was a staff break out room where they ate and smoked.Navigating all this with my elderly mother wasn't easy. The bathrooms were really old and the soap/lotion dispenser had ro be squeezed to be used and were difficult, again not ideal when travelling with someone elderly. I stayed in a 4*in Killarney the next night for less money and felt the luxury emanating from every corner. Not a great place, and absolutely not worth the money.

Verified reviewOur stay was for 2 nights as part of vacation. The room was clean and spacious with a comfy bed. We had a wonderful breakfast in the restaurant as an add on to our stay. The bar/lounge area is great (although can be quite crowded at times) but overall a very pleasant atmosphere. We took a car to town as it is a bit out of the way; but the trade off is for the quiet ambiance!
The windows in our room overlooked the dumpster; as in looked directly into the dumpster; not sure how you can fix that unless it had a roof :) Could use more seating in the lounge area for nights when it is crowded

Verified reviewBeds super comfortable, modern decor and clean. Restaurant on site very handy because hotel not close enough to shops. Reasonably priced re food, and delicious high quality. Venue has a big turnover due to wedding bookings, hence fresh food and top quality services.
Nothing, location would be inconvenient if you don’t have a car but there is a bus service very nearby - which is a good idea due to limited parking spaces in town

Verified reviewThe staff and food was brilliant.
Had to get transport to go to salthill and galway itself, room had a really bad smell in it every time we went into it, we did mention it and they did come and clean it but the smell was still there, there was white powder under the chest of drawer and under the bed. They did come clean it up. Also thought our phone was broke as both chargers wouldn't work, but wen we got home the same charger is working so the plugs wasn't working either
