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 location was amazing. The value was great. The layout was exactly as described. Staff was helpful
The main room with the larger bed had such a strong musty/mildew/moldy smell that only one of us slept in the room facing the door we left open. The other one of us had to sleep on the couch in the living room.

Verified reviewExcellent location, close to centre of city and close to University.
The apartment was basic, with cheap fittings and fixtures, far from luxurious. The double bed was very small. the bedrooms were down a long cold corridor from the living room and bathroom

Verified reviewHome from Home! The apartment was really nice and private. We didn't realise there was even all the essentials in the kitchen which came in handy. I Would recommend it for any group or family looking to stay in the city.
I can't say anything negative as we were in walking distance of everything!

In the heart of the gay district which might be a draw for many but not necessarily a family

Verified reviewLocation was across from the Crane Bar - a "go to" spot to hear live, traditional Irish music. While directly off of a street, the apt was quiet. Free parking on site was available and easy to access. Lots of good eating establishments within walking distance.
There were two back doors and one was prone to getting jammed. The owner was diligent in helping provide a temporary fix. We used the other door for remainder of stay. Also, written instruction re: WiFi code was not quite right, but we figured it out.

The toaster and a few other kitchen items could use to be replaced.

Verified reviewHost was local, easy to contact, and responsive. The location of the property is really very good - in amongst some good pubs/restaurants/cafes in the West End of Galway and with very easy reach of the historic city centre by foot. Parking is convenient and easy to get into/out of.
The accommodation is quite plain and basic - not a problem though (although a bathplug would be useful!).

Verified reviewLocation was great, not in the heart of Galway so it was peaceful, but just a quick walk (through the park and over a picturesque bridge) to the main pedestrian center. The Host was great, very accommodating without being intrusive. Highly recommend.
Nothing in particular comes to mind.

Verified reviewIt is very centrally located, the apartment was fine but could be updated. It was clean but the floor was sticky and we are not sure why. For the price that we paid, we expected a nicer apartment but it seems that rental properties are very expensive for the summer.
We ran out of hot water during one of the showers even though we all limited our showers to 5-6 minutes with 2 people taking showers in the morning and the rest in the evening.
