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...).

United KingdomThe staff in the restaurant were very attentive and friendly, but very busy, which meant that service was a little slow. Breakfast was not included, but worth paying for and portions were generous.
The Huntsman was a comfortable stopover for Galway. The hotel is about a mile away from the centre, but easily accessible by bus, taxi or walk. Restaurant had a good menu and great atmosphere. Free parking.

United KingdomThe noise coming from the bar at any time between 10.30 up to 2.00 a.m. Rooms got quite stuffy but there was access to a window and a fan provided. Was not keen on the meals set up. Breakfast not included in price. If you went at a busy time unless booked had to wait ages for dinner. But food was worth the wait.
staff were friendly and helpful. The location was good for own transport and local transport to get anywhere you wanted within the city of Galway. Good facilities in room and good standard of cleanliness. Lots nearby to do as well.

New ZealandLoved the hotel. We had a large quiet corner room with a huge comfortable bed. The bathroom was big with a great shower. The location was excellent, especially if travelling by car. There’s plenty of free parking. We had a delicious dinner in the lovely hotel restaurant, with great service. We opted for breakfast there the next morning and that was excellent too. Thanks to all the Huntsman Inn staff.

United StatesNothing…we were very peased with everything about the Huntsman Inn.
Our first impression was Andrea at the front desk. We arrived at 8:30 and called the front desk and asked, since we were so early, if there was one of the 3 rooms available where we go store our luggage until check in. She had one room available, and we were able to get in for that purpose. By 10am, the other two rooms were ready and she allowed all 3 families to check in early, which was a bonus. She was friendly, customer service driven, made our dinner reservations and an outstanding welcome to Galway! Our rooms were clean, mattress very comfortable and large bathroom. And there was an elevator! Location excellent for walking to the city center, had it not been pouring rain, but the bus stop was across the street, so that worked well. Restaurant that was attached, was excellent, as well.

Quick response by someone to assist when we inadvertently left a clothing item in the room after depositing our keys in the early checkout box. The individual responded quickly and was very cordial.
