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.).

IrelandOrla was very welcoming and accommodating during my stay at Tara Lodge. The bedroom was spacious and bright with plenty of towels and extra milk provided for tea and coffee. The breakfast was delicious and a great start to each morning with big portion sizes that would stock anyone up for the day. I didn't really use wi-fi while there so can't comment on that. Location was handy for me as I didn't want to be right in the City Centre all the time. I mostly walked into the City but the 405 bus was close by and worked like Dublin Bus. It accepts leap cards, is viewable on the TFI app and goes to Eyre Square so that was handy.

The stay was great and the Orla was very loving and warm. The breakfast was absolutely great. It was my first time away from my country for study and she helped me feel at home miles away from home, and she helped me get a hold of the city. This place will always be my 1st home in Ireland🩷

United KingdomA more modern B&B compared to the traditional B&Bs we experienced in other parts of Ireland, which is personal preference. The shower is on the smaller side
Orla was absolutely lovely and attentive and generous. The room was clean and the bed was very comfortable.

IrelandThe distance from the city centre. It's not a problem if you like to walk or can take a 9-minute bus.
My partner and I stayed at this B&B for 2 nights on a weekend in April 2024. We would highly recommend it. Although it is a 40-minute walk (or 7-minute drive) to the city centre, the B&B is on the more budget-friendly side given the ever-increasing cost of accommodation in Galway and Ireland, located off the main road in a quiet residential area and there are some shops, food places and a petrol station around the corner. The bus stop is only 5 minutes walk away. Our host Orla was very courteous, approachable and accommodating. On Saturday morning, she even offered and gave us a lift in her car to the city centre for our Cliffs of Moher tour. The breakfast was wholesome, with plenty of options from a full Irish to cereal, fruit and yogurt to cater for dietary requirements. The room was spacious, and clean, had a big wardrobe, free Wi-Fi, a kettle, tea and coffee, some biscuits, a hair-dryer and TV. One thing which stood out for us was how welcoming host Orla and her family were; she had her two little grandchildren over and you could see from their excited reactions through the window when we approached the door for the first time, that Orla and her family really warm to guests and make them feel valued and welcome. We would recommend a stay here for a future trip to Galway.
