Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Myself & my daughter stayed for one night on a pit stop to Galway. From start to finish Julie at reception made our stay so welcoming and special for my 9yr old. From confirming our booking over the phone to going the extra mile on the Halloween treats, even though we were staying just before the festivities kicked off. Julie kept a pumpkin behind the desk for my daughter and a goodie bag so that she could make the most of her stay. The staff in the bar were very friendly and made a very special welcome hot choc for my daughter. The rooms were spacious, clean and very comfortable. To top off our stay, the breakfast was superb, so fresh and had everything you needed including a pancake machine. All of this whilst the hotel was managing a double wedding weekend. That's impressive for guests to feel so welcome and not overlooked. Would highly recommend and would return again when we're heading out West. Raheen Woods is worth getting off the motorway for.

Dear Pauline. Thank you so much for your review. Our owner Maire must be credited for our beautiful décor. She has a real eye for detail and treats the hotel like her home. Maire will be further enhancing the hotel with her flair when we close for renovations in November and we are looking looking forward to seeing the end result. I know all too well that when the kids are happy the parents are happy so its great to hear that your kids love spending time here. We would love to welcome you back in the near future and ask that you contact our reservations team directly so that we can look after you as a return guest. Thank you for your continued support.

Stayed with my family in August and this was more than I could have imagined, what a gem of a hotel. Fab rooms, pool, sauna, gym, loved the Mchale’s bar and the relaxing nature of the hotel and the kids were so safe and able to run free outside. Food was perfect and you could see there was real thought put into the menu. Perfect location for touring , 10 mins to Galway city and close to the motorway. Will be back that’s for sure. Brian and family👍

Dear John Thank you so much for your review. We are so grateful for your lovely comments. The décor is well and truly down to our owner Maria who take immense pride in the hotel. Maria will be kept very busy this November when we close for refurbishments so hopefully we will get the opportunity to welcome you back to a newly decorated bar and restaurant in the very near future. If you wish to return John and Family, please contact our reservations team who will be happy to look after you for a rate as a return guest.

My wife, our two teenage sons and I have stayed in this wonderful establishment many times since it opened and we have always found our stay to be most enjoyable mainly due to the friendly atmosphere created by the staff and the great food. From the moment we check in to the moment we leave we are treated like friends of the family (which we are not). We can’t speak highly enough about this place in our opinion it’s the very best that’s available in the west of ireland. We will be back.

I had my sons 21st bi party in the snug. There were 18 of us and we had a sit down meal. I had a few special requests that I wanted to celebrate the 21st, and nothing was a problem. Francis, Pavel & Oisin saw to any needs we had. We all thoroughly enjoyed our meal and the snug area was so personal and cosy. Overall we had a memorable night and hope to be back to celebrate other occasion s. Thanks to all the staff for a great night and great food👏👏
