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 and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

IrelandAmazing location, close to all Galway's pubs and restaurants. Apartment was spotlessly clean. We were met on arrival to hand over the keys.

United KingdomThe furniture has a bit of wear and tear but I think it shows it’s student accom The outlook from the apartment directly out isn’t pretty although you can see the harbour in the distance Have to meet up to be let inside which is fine, but not as convenient as a lock box
Close to centre of city Washing machine and kitchen with a few supplies like tea and jam were appreciated Staff were great, good communication and allowed us a later check out

IrelandOverall would highly recommend staying here. Some suggestions for 10 star rating: 1. Provide tea/coffee/sugar/cold water etc. 2. Add some decor to make the house feel more homely.
The location was perfect and Barbara was friendly.

Very good location exceptionally clean. It was like a student halls feel. Everything we needed. On the first night we had a noise issue with a room next to us, as soon as I rang security then problem was dealt with. . Bed comfy! Within walking distance of shops and restaurants.

IrelandNo negatives really it was a little noisy at night but like any city it is noisey. Honestly my only advice is to park the car in the 24hr car park before meeting to get the key Galway traffic is manic.
The City Centre apartments are right slap bang in the middle of Galway. Perfect location for a day and evening in Galway. We were visiting our daughter with our son so it was ideal.. Not really suitable for a romantic mini break but perfect for a shopping trip or a flying visit.The girl Barbra who met me was really lovely and made the process of getting the key very simple. She even helped with the bags which she didn't have to. Definitely would recommend for a night.
