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 Stop is a wonderful place, I highly recommend it. We met Russell and also a staff member (sorry I forgot her name) who were both really friendly and gave us great local tips and advice. The breakfast was one of the best I have had in many years of travel and the ambience of the hotel - it's lounge and dining area, and the room we stayed in was excellent. Clean, friendly. stylish and with great music as well. A great find and if we go to Galway again we will stay again - but for longer!

CanadaHighly recommend The Stop!! Our room #10 was quite small, on 2nd floor walk up. It was very fine for us. Might be warm in July though. Perfect location and host R. and his staff were top notch. Breakfast was ample and tasty. We parked our car at the Stop for 2 days and were able to walk to Galway Centre sites, the beach and restaurants etc. Great spot.

IrelandIt was quite warm night, we missed our fan but we managed by opening both windows to have a cold breeze. Other that than, everything was perfect for us.
Loved the design and decoration displayed all over the place, keep your eyes going from here to there to keep finding small details. Bedrooms were comfy, quite warm during the night. Breakfast was outstanding, exceeding our expectations. Everything is made at home by the team and all fresh ingredients. Russell gave us a brief about their coffee beans and their origin. Whichever request you might have just let me know and they will provide an option for you.

United KingdomWe didn't particularly like the beds as the ones in our rooms were noisy due to the type of mattresses they had. I don't know if all the rooms have the same though. We were a bit unlucky as the other travelers were a bit noisy in the morning and that woke us up. It's a B&B so you have to be aware of the sound proofing. Overall, it was a great experience and even with these little things, we would definitely go back!
Excellent location. 15m walk from city centre and beach ( opposite direction to city centre ). Variety of breakfast options and a supermarket 1m away from the hotel. Staff was friendly and made our stay fantastic. Very quiet area.
