Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

IrelandThe rooms were very comfortable, and spacious. The location is quite convenient, although a little too far from the city centre to walk (15-20 mins to Eyre Square), so we drove into and out of town. Plenty of parking right outside the hotel

United StatesI had a hard time getting comfortable to use my laptop. The one armchair was just too big (I’m 5 feet tall). The bench at the desk was too low to use the laptop there. An office chair with adjustable height would be a very welcome addition to the existing furniture.
Breakfast was good — lots of choices. As always, more than I could eat. Very helpful woman at reception. Free parking is a plus, especially in Galway City. There is a bus stop not far from the hotel with buses that run frequently. Easy to get in the center of town without need to drive the car and find parking. Cab ride back from the top of Eyre Square was less than nine euro. Room was large. Twin sinks in the bathroom would be useful for a couple. Remote-controlled shades blocked out all of the nighttime lights. Building is almost too secure — room card needed to get through several doorways as well as into reception after hours.

IrelandAn early breakfast option would be great, if only some kind of takeaway option, especially for weekday work stays.
This is a fabulous hotel in a really central location. Suprisingly its also really quiet in the rooms and the facilities in the rooms are really comfortable. I often stay here, when it's available because the beds are so comfy, the food in the bar is top class, everything is super clean and it's really great value for money. Reluctant to give it such a high rating in case demand increases and it means I miss out, but it's hard to complain about the Huntsman Inn.

ItalyI stopped in Galway for just a night and this hotel went beyond my expectations. The room and the toilet were huge, clean, and well-equipped. The staff was the nicest, both at the reception and at the restaurant. The food was really good. The bus stop to reach the city centre is located just outside the hotel, but even by walking the city centre us not too far. Definitely a place to check out if you going to Galway!
