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.).

MaltaBeing a house converted into a lovely B&B, bear in mind that suitcases need to be taken up the stairs (no lift). Also, no TV in the room.
Highly recommend The Stop for a short stay at Galway. Location is perfect, within walking distance for all restaurants, pubs, shops and landmarks in the city. The staff at The Stop were very friendly, caring and gave us all the information required during the stay. The property comes with its own parking spaces which is very convenient. With regards to breakfast, there is a menu which you can choose from the night before and it will be prepared for you at the chosen time the next morning, such as pancakes etc., plus an additional spread which includes bread, nuts, cheese, coffee and tea, orange juice, etc. The room was clean and housekeeping is done daily. Perfect for a short stay. Thank you so much to Russel and the girls!

United Stateswe were just sad we had to leave!
The Stop exceeded our expectations. Russell and his staff were warm and welcoming. The homemade breakfast was exceptional. The room was as advertised and the common areas were peaceful and made our extended stay more enjoyable. We appreciated their food, music, and sightseeing recommendations. We would book this room again in a heartbeat! One of the best experiences we’ve had in our travels. The location is perfect, a very very quick walk to the bustling Quays while being located in the quieter, hipper West End.

United StatesLovely, super-clean room with a comfortable bed. Stylish and very charming decor. Abuts a cool, non-touristy Galway neighborhood. Excellent breakfast to start the day accompanied by cool jazz tunes played on a turntable. The owner connected with us when we arrived and clearly has a hands-on touch throughout. It was a very brief stay but we’d stay here again in a heartbeat!
