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 reviewThe size of the bedroom was very adequate.
The bathroom was rather small . At breakfast, the hot buffet was covered so it was difficult to choose food without asking the chef what was available. There was considerable noise on the second floor due to a function being held in the hotel.

Verified reviewI stayed at this hotel with my family (two adults and two children) for two nights. We had a great time because the staff was very kind to us, even though we weren't very good at speaking English. The beds were very comfortable, and the breakfast was delicious, with a wide variety of sweet and savory options, and plenty of it. The building appears new, and the room was clean and bright. The short distance from downtown Galway is more than compensated for by the ample free parking and the quiet location. It was a wonderful experience for the kids (and the adults too). Highly recommended.
Nothing

Verified reviewPlease see below
Our first room was not good. It was one of the older rooms. The bed was terrible, the bathroom door didn’t stay closed and the sink faucet didn’t have a shut off valve. HOWEVER, we reached out to the front desk when she came in and took care of us beautifully! Our next room was amazing and the bed SO much better. She even offered a complementary breakfast for our inconveniences and offered to move our luggage since we had plans all day the first day. She really was able to turn things around
Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. While we’re sorry to hear that your first room did not meet expectations, we’re delighted our front desk team was able to turn things around for you so quickly. It’s wonderful to know you enjoyed your new room, found the bed comfortable, and appreciated the extra touches of service offered. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with the team — recognition like this means a lot. We look forward to welcoming you back for an even smoother stay next time.

Verified reviewSpacious room, easy check in. Plenty of parking.
Outdoor hot tub was cold. Steam room wasn't operating and there was no sign to alert people of same. Price of coffee was scandalous. No lift operating for underground carpark. Minor things but these were an inconvenience when we were looking forward to our stay. Overall, I would definitely stay again.

Verified reviewBar and restaurant staff very pleasant. Room was clean and well serviced.
Not good value for money – like a lot of Galway hotels. Checkin staff seem more interested in up-selling than welcoming you. Only one small Lift for guests. The building wouldn't win any prizes for architecture. 11:30 checkout time in a "4 star" on a Sunday morning?
