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 reviewRoom very small but clean & proper, daily cleaned. Kitchen to share with all you need for prepare breakfast yourself. Bus stop "ATU Galway" 5 min away to get to the city center within 15 minutes. It's regularly served.
Room and bathroom very small. Carpet in room. House is situated in industrial/commercial zone and a lot of construction work outside in this area. No supermarket nearby.

Verified reviewNo interaction needed on entering house. Clean, comfortable but basic room with private bathroom (toiletries provided) Communal living room and kitchen containing all the essentials. While gone for day room was thoroughly cleaned. Very good value for money.
Locks slightly Janky at times and blinds weren't blackout but this is me nitpicking.

Verified reviewThe Silver Sea is ideal for one or several nights around Galway. Easily accessible by road or bus. The bed was comfy, and the house has everything you need for a stay. no breakfast is offered but guests are welcome to help themselves with the provided food, cereals, pastries, coffee... Staff was super friendly :)
The bathroom could be a bit bigger but it did its job pretty well :)
Dear Garvan, Thank you for your feedback! We are glad you enjoyed your stay and felt welcome, and we appreciate your note about the bathroom size. Kindest regards, Silver Sea team

Verified reviewClean place to stay in a good location you can drive or bus to city center. Nothing charming about the small room and bathroom, but they had coffee tea in the kitchen and closet and cubby space to put your things in the room. Property owner/manager was really responsive and helpful!
Linens were rough and seemed like a generic room.
Dear Anonymous, Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you appreciated the location and our responsiveness. We will take note of your comments about the linens and room feel to improve further. Regards, Silver Sea team

Verified reviewThe house was sold no one was there when I got there I found it hard to find as there was no bed and breakfast Sign. I couldn't access and had to stay somewhere else that night
No one there at the house. There were black bin liners left in the hall as is people were packing up to move and when I spoke to the neighbours they advised thay it was a HSE house and not safe for a woman staying on her own
Dear Jessica, It seems you went to a different house and not our guesthouse. You were supposed to contact us on the phone number provided if you had any difficulties finding the property. The house you went to has been sold and no one is living there. That is why there was no Bed & Breakfast sign, and it was not possible to access it. Please make sure to use the contact details provided in your booking confirmation if you need assistance in the future, so we can help you directly and avoid such confusion. Best regards, Silver Sea team
