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 reviewLovely house in a convenient location, about 10 minutes drive from the centre of Galway. It was easy to get to from the N6 without needing to pass through the city. We were in Room 1 and it was really lovely. Nice big comfortable bed with lots of individual covers so you could use as many or as few as you wished overnight which is so much nicer than the one enormous duvet provided by so many hotels and guest houses these days! There was even an electric blanket on the bed which must be lovely on Winter nights! The room was well equipped with tea/coffee, snack bars and both flat and sparkling water. Even a mini fridge provided which could be used to chill your own soft drinks or wine if you wished. Two comfy armchairs in the room too and a glass door leading out into a patio which I assume is shared by other guests in the next room. The staff serving breakfast the next morning were friendly and helpful and there was an excellent choice offered, including different varieties of Eggs Benedict. We had a reduced rate on Booking.com (“Genius Discount” - a term that always makes me smile!) but even without this it was still quite reasonably priced compared to other guest houses and hotels nearby. Lots of space to park and after 9pm there is a secure gate which guests can open with an electronic fob.
There was some kind of device (? air filter) wired above our bedroom door, and every half hour or so it would make a noise that sounded like an electronic garage door opening. It woke both of us each time it went off which would put me off staying in that room again. That said, I would most certainly stay in another room if returning to Galway as it was a very nice property with a lovely breakfast and free secure parking.

Verified reviewVery nice place to stay, with a very warm host. The breakfast is excellent and staff are very nice and accommodating. My room was clean and comfortable. What made the stay was the host who is a gentleman and very helpful.
The only drawback for me was the location being just a little far from town. It’s about 3.2k or a 40 minute walk.

Verified reviewWe loved our overnight stay here! It was clean & comfortable. The location was beautiful & it was nice & quiet. The staff and owner were welcoming & helpful. We also had the breakfast and it was amazing!
It was quite far out from everything, which made it difficult without a car. But we did know this upon booking.

Verified reviewSmall b and b that was away from the noise and hustle of downtown. Rooms were very clean and breakfast was amazing! Greatly appreciated the USB outlets! We were so glad we had a room with a balcony as we left our door open for the night to pull in cool air as the room was very warm.
Rooms- and especially bathrooms- need a little updating. Chairs were very uncomfortable and water pressure was so low it was hard to wash our hair.

Verified reviewBreakfast was the best on our 10 day trip.
Not much could be improved. But hot in the room, tried to prop the balcony door open for some fresh air but the wind kept catching it. Maybe add a hook on it?

Verified reviewIt was in a great location to go for a walk down to the lake. Very close to Coffey Pub for a beer and pizza Was amazing that bed had sheets and a blanket instead of a big doona where you are either too hit or too cold.
Only thing maybe missing was not having a TV in the room.
