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.).

Lots of privacy in a guest house, hosts were a pleasure to communicate to prior and after the stay, the bathroom had all amenities needed, and Jac and Colm provided some pastries for breakfast.

Lovely hosts - thought about the little things to make the stay very comfortable. Location was excellent- off the main road and so close to the shore. Nice view from room 2. Large airy, very clean room. Shared kitchen/sitting room very comfortable and also had outdoor seating. Could be tricky if 3 couples needed to cook at a similar time but this wasn't an issue for us and we were able to cook a simple evening meal and enjoy the views. Small Tesco round the corner to purchase supplies. Continental breakfast provided was a bonus.

United StatesThere wasn’t anything we didn’t like about the property. It suited our needs perfectly.
The property is beautiful. The side courtyard is a lovely spot to sit and relax before or after adventures. The water pressure in the shower is INCREDIBLE! I said to my husband “That’s the stuff dreams are made of.” Back in the USA a lot of properties have weak pressure and it’s annoying but NOT HERE!

United StatesThe property was like renting out a single room airbnb. You had access to a kitchen and living area but basically on your own. It was quiet, and clean. The host were kind but we didn’t see too much of them as we were out and about a lot. Perfect location for visiting Galway, Canamara, and Aran Islands. Also the views of the ocean and the cute walk down to the shore was a nice benefit.

United StatesThe hosts were lovely and very accommodating! We were able to go about what we wanted to do in the city and felt very welcomed in the home. There was a very nice guidebook in the room outlining local activities, sights to see, restaurants to go to and more! There was also ear plugs and eye masks left out for use, which although we didn’t use ourselves we felt was a very nice touch! The room had every single amenity listed here and is the perfect place to stay to be able to see the Gaeltacht areas of Galway as well as being within driving distance of Eyres Square and the city centre (not to mention there’s also a bus stop right across the road from the property that brings you to and from the city centre very conveniently for anyone who’s not anticipating on driving).

The walk down the lane to the coast was stunning. I went there for peace, quiet and reflection - I got all of those in spades

United StatesThe bathroom shower has wonderful pressure but there is no lip on the shower floor to keep the water from flowing out to the floor. We had to use several towels after every shower to clean up the overflow.
The location was perfect for us. Far enough from the city of Galway but close to a little village and a lovely walk to the ocean. Jac is a fun and energetic host! Our favorite area was the common room / kitchen. Appreciated the way she set everything up for guests to have their own shelf in the fridge and pantry. Really a great place and Pup-pup is a sweet little dog.
