How guest reviews work
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 use a weighted review system which means that 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Valentina is really nice and very welcoming, and the room is lovely and very comfortable. If you're driving it's great because you can park in her alley way, and it's not far from the city. I had a great stay :D

Would have liked to have stayed longer but unfortunately I just had one night in Galway.
Lovely room. Bed well made, all kept so tidy and Room was warm and comfy with the heating in the morning. Shower was lovely too- easy to control and bathroom was really tidy too. Valentina is very friendly and easy to chat to. Kept in touch on the day before to set up arrival and was very accommodating of my schedule.

The room is lovely. And in a quiet neighbourhood, so I slept perfectly. Super clean and tidy. Considerably cheaper than hotels in Galway. Valentina is a wonderful host, especially for solo travellers who aren't sure what to do in the evenings. Exceptional place.

What's not to like about The Green Room. Valentina is a one of a kind host, who made feel most welcome and comformable in her home. From my arrival, with her helpful explanations on getting to her place to her courteous goodbye on my departure. Thank you, Valentina, for a memorable introduction to Galway.

I have to disagree with all previous reviews that the location is close to town. A 40 minute walk or 30 minutes by public transport (which includes the 10 min walk to a bus stop) is not close in a small town like Galway. It is also a relatively expensive option for essentially a room only in someone’s house. Not to say that it isn’t nice and the host is not absolutely lovely, but it did not live up to 9.8 rating it had when we booked!
The room was very comfortable and had a nice energy to it.

Everything was perfect.
Great host, very welcoming and gave lots of local tips because there was an art festival on. Everything was very clear from checking in, and explaining which buses or taxis needed to get around locally. Comfiest bed I've slept in for ages, room is really quiet and has your own wee kettle and even a small snack (nice touch). Towel and even labelled body wash shampoo etc so you know what's what. Handy location for getting to town and uni etc. Great value. Would stay again and recommend.

Everything was fine, the property is a little outside the city centre, but that suited me.
The Green Room was ideal for my needs and great value for money. Everything was top quality and I had a great nights sleep in a very comfortable room. The host, Valentia, was extremely helpful with suggestions about the city.

Valentina is a very friendly and welcoming host and allowed me to access to the room at an earlier time which was a great help. The room was clean and very comfortable and excellent value for my 1 night stay.. Ideal location, just a 30 minute walk to the city centre. I would stay here again next time I visit in Galway.
