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.).

Fred is always helping make your experience all that it can be. Wonderful ownership and staff make your stay one you will never forget. Thank you ❤️

We loved the location…out of the hustle & bustle of central Galway & very easy area to get in & out of when touring with a car. Really friendly owners & staff…your initial welcome Fred, not to mention your fabulous cooked breakfasts with your ‘secret’ spices, was the best! Very spacious, comfortable room & and a large modern bathroom..even has bath salts to put in the bath, which I took advantage of!! The breakfast area, with its glazed roof & outlook into the garden is gorgeous. There’s nothing we didn’t love with our stay.

We did a whirlwind trip of Ireland in 12 days. Stayed in B&B's as well as several hotels. This was by far the best accommodation of our entire trip! The host is amazing and the location is perfect. What a setting! All of the places we stayed were excellent, but this one was exceptional!

United StatesIt was so too away and took two days to get there from DALLAS, TX!
Everything! At my ripe age of 75.9, I have been traveling since 1955. Having been to all 50 states and 37 countries the Sea Breeze B&B is the best B&B I’ve ever been to. No detail was left undone, from the arrival briefing, B&B tour, to the room orientation, it was a first class operation. Breakfast each morning was something to look forward to, as soon as I tucked myself in to bed; which was so comfortable I was asleep in seconds. The extra attention in finding local restaurants for diner was fabulous. Exceptional service.

United StatesBusy street in front of the property. Traffic did slow down at a reasonable hour, but could hear cars if wanting the windows open.
One of our favorite places we stayed during 2 weeks in Ireland. Freddie and Michelle were wonderful hosts and made sure any needs/requests were met and that we felt pampered. Breakfast was the best we had during our travels. The bathroom was huge!

United StatesEverything about our stay was wonderful. The property, the food, the local area, and the owner were all perfect. The breakfasts I had at this property were the some of the best meals we had on our whole trip! You must try the loaded omelet. The owner was very engaging and very helpful with all of our requests. I have stayed at many Bed and Breakfast but this was hands down the one I enjoyed the most!

United StatesI loved everything.
This may be the best B&B we’ve ever stayed at, unpretentious luxury. Every detail to make us comfortable in a spacious and bright room was thought of: a special shelf in the bathroom for toiletries, magnifying mirror, places to charge electronics and more. This on top of tasteful decorating, a generous breakfast with lots of cook-to-order items plus an array of cakes and fruit. AND the most welcoming and charming owner. It’s only 10 minutes to centre city Galway. I had some concerns about staying in Salthill but now think it is much better, beautiful along the bay.

So clean and quaint, our room was spacious, the bed was so comfortable. We opened the sky lights to let in the wonderful sea breeze. We even had built in speakers for our room. Fred and Michelle were amazing, friendly hosts. Breakfast was the absolute best! Must try the omelet, which is also the biggest omelet ever, it had their own delicious spice blend. Just the perfect stay!

On arrival the host also offered a complimentary glass of wine. You could tell the host was passionate about creating the right experience for his guests.

United StatesThe parking instructions could be clearer, as there are other adjacent properties that look similar but are not part of Sea Breeze. It took us a few minutes to figure it out.
The hosts are very friendly and helpful. They were very welcoming and took their time to show us around. The location and views are great. Breakfast was included and it was terrific. A great selection of pastries, fruits along with a menu of breakfast items cooked to order, including eggs, sausages, bacon, potatoes, fresh vegetables, toast, etc. We were delighted with our stay and would recommend Sea Breeze.
