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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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):
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.
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.).

IrelandTea/coffee facilities are hidden on the floor, there’s a kettle and tea/coffee bags, there was no milk in the fridge and the light wasn’t working so used our phone light.
Our host was lovely, she welcomed us and brought us to our room. Location is great, unfortunately the weather wasn’t on our side so be prepared if you’re walking from the train station - bring a rain coat! Looking forward to visiting in the summer months, it’s in a quiet closed off location which is great for a relaxing visit.

United StatesFree wifi was spotty in our 3rd floor bedroom. But nice and strong in the ground floor sitting room so no real issue except for late a night travel planning!
Warm greeting when we arrived. Wonderful, cozy room - a double bed and a single bed but didn't feel too small. The breakfast room is lovely - beautiful china! -and the breakfast selections generous. Yummy! The location is ideal - quick walk to all sorts of spots in the Latin Quarter, Spanish Arch, Waterfront! Only a 5 minute walk to Tourist info spot.

Everything here was lovely and was a perfect location to explore Galway by walking or by car as we had easy parking. The home was beautiful and extremely clean, very fresh. Ciara is a lovely and amazing host, who truly cares about each guest. She went out of her way to ensure my mom and I were comfortable and welcomed. Breakfast was really good and fresh. I highly recommend this stay due to host and hospitality, cleanliness, comfortability, and great location. Lots of family history in the B+B who care about your experience, much better than a hotel. Would have loved to stay longer

IndiaIt's a lovely B&B, great location just a few hundred meters away from all the bustle ensuring all the galway experience but a great spot to sleep as well. The owner Kiara was particularly helpful not only with recommendations but also offering to help us with reservations. Wish this multi generational property all the best. They are real.
