Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 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...).

FranceThe guesthouse is next to the town centre, about ten minutes walk from Quay Street. There are several pubs, restaurants nearby, you can easily find what you fancy eating as well as good music. The house itself is very comfortable and nicely decorated. The landlady is charming, we feel at home.

It is spotless, very clean , beautifully decorated , spacious rooms, very comfortable beds and pillows, private patio for outdoor seating and meeting the family who runs it was an absolute delight!

United KingdomNothing, it was a really lovely stay!
Kira gave us a wonderful welcome, everything was super comfortable and clean, breakfast was delicious and the guesthouse is really well located to visit Galway. It's a two-minute walk from the West End and a five-minute walk from the main attractions across the bridge, but in a really quiet corner just next to a park. I highly recommend it!

United States of AmericaNothing. I would come back in a heartbeat.
For a single person, the room is what I expected. Not huge but large enough and well prepped. It's also in a quiet neighborhood, with easy parking. The breakfast was delicious and served with style. The hostess & owner was super kind and personable, with great advice about what parts to see (or avoid). The location is perfect if you don't want to be smack in the noisy touristy part (Latin Quarter), but a stone's throw from where the local night scene is.

CanadaI highly recommend Adare Guesthouse for anyone visiting Galway and wanting a wam, hospitable and clean place to stay that is steps from downtown/the Latin Quarter. We stayed here during our honeymoon in Ireland from Sep 1-3, 2023. Kyra and her family are gems. We received a warm welcome and such accommodating care during our entire stay. At one point, I developed a bad cough and stayed in our room for breakfast rather than in the dining room with the other guests. Kyra brought up a warm bowl of porridge and fresh fruit for us (thank you so much Kyra, and I hope we didn't get anyone sick!). The location was perfect too. It's right near a park that you can cut through to the Latin Quarter, about a 10-15 minute walk to everything. Thank you Kyra and your family for taking good care of us during our stay! xo

GermanyI can only recommend Adare Guesthouse! The interior made you feel right at home, everything was very clean and good smelling, the beds are comfortable and on top of that the Family that owns Adare are very kind and friendly, offer you advice (and a piece of chocolate). If you are on foot you are in the city center and at the beach in under 10 minutes and other bus stops are also easy reachable.
