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.).

United StatesIt's a BnB in an old house, so you can pretty much hear everything, especially from upstairs. Not a huge deal for us. The noise mainly happened in the early morning. Also, the room and bathroom are tiny tiny.
We loved the art on the walls and the music playing. Breakfast was delicious and there were several options. Staff and owner were super friendly and helpful. Location is great: short walk to touristy Latin quarter and less touristy, even better places are closer.

United StatesOur room was on the first floor and we could really hear the people above us snoring and coughing. We had to use ear plugs. It’s a little awkward in the 1st floor room with people parking directly next to our window. Maybe a little planter under the window for some buffer and privacy would be helpful.
Perfect breakfast! Such fresh and delicious food, tea and coffee was plentiful.

United StatesOur room was small with slanted ceilings in the main room and the bathroom. This made it a challenge for me to get around at 183 centimeters tall. PLEASE NOTE THIS WAS NOT THE FAULT OF THE STOP!!! When we return to Galway again we would love to stay here again but will look into a larger room.
Excellent location in close proximity to both the city center and the promenade. Excellent breakfast and cozy living room. We had late tea at night in the breakfast room which always had nice music in the background along with candlelight. Always fresh cookies available, too. The breakfast was very tasty with several options along with freshly squeezed orange juice, marmalade/jam, yogurt, etc. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The innkeeper, Russell, made us feel right at home. When we first arrived he showed us all the facilities, showed us how to get to many places in the area and also made a number of helpful restaurant recommendations. Russell was always there to help. He's a very friendly chap who runs a great inn.

United StatesRussell and everyone we met were incredibly nice and helpful. I messed up and didn't book enough nights, but Russell found me a place to stay without hesitation. He went above and beyond!! The location was ideal as it was a quick walk to both the West End (much quieter) and the Promendade, but still quiet. We went to the West End each night for dinner/drinks and it was busy, but not overly so. We were able to get into the Crane as well, a great old pub that has live music. Go early and get a seat upstairs to listen to the pick up sessions. It was standing room only after it starts! Try the chips at Vinny's take out- they hit the spot! The weather was gorgeous so we walked along the Prom and also out to Mutton Island. It's a waste water facility at the end, but the walk it wonderful just the same. We had no issues walking to the docks to catch the ferry to Inishmore and walking to and from the train station was about 15-20 minutes. Plenty of busses and cabs if you prefer.
