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.

NEVER GO THERE IF YOU NEED ANY KIND OF ASISTANCE. The personnel are completely unprofessional. Almost all time there was nobody at the reception, so if you neede something npbody could help. I have asked for the receipt of my payment and I after already 20 days I could not receive anything. I have called, wrote email, wrote through Booking.com where I did the reservation from, but they completely ignored my request. I went for work and ı anticipate the payment. Because of the,r unqualificable behavior I have lost 270 euros. DO NOT GO, ,f you go for work and you need an official proof of your payment.

We were in holiday hotel for one night in late June. Great location , outstanding rooms , which looks like refurb very recently. very clean room. Easy check in even it was very late in the day. I would highly recommend anyone looking to crash in to Galway for the night to use this hotel as their accomadation. Not pushing for check out time even though we checked out on time.

We booked this property with a very short notice and limited options on a bank holiday weekend. For a start is not a hotel nor bed and breakfast, is just a room with a private bath room. No place for breakfast, limited attendance in reception. There is a bar downstairs and the bar staff will come on call to check on you if requested. For a start, we didn’t set off with the right foot, I received a call that my booking had to be cancelled the night prior to check in as per a mistake in the inventory and availability, with no other counter option rather than me booking somewhere else. According to other reviews, this seem to be a habit and I assume they try to cancel your booking when they have another request for a longer stay or most suitable business for them. As I had not given too much thought in booking this accommodation in the first place, I was not really bothered. What did put me off was the fact that I was asked to cancel the booking on my side under the premise I would not be charged, when the whole situation was caused by them with no apologies or reasonable explanation. The following day I was offered the room again as they said it was a mistake and misunderstanding. We decided to still check in as it was an inconvenience to look somewhere else when we were on our way to destination. The room was OK, on the third floor so not a lot of noise from BAR downstairs. It’s an old building that would welcome some refurb, but room was clean, bathroom was functional, we had basic amenities and size was suitable. Location is great, but staff could do way better. Wouldn’t stay again.

Checked in & was brought up several Winding stairs to an attic room: room was basic, clean but this was not what I had paid 110 euro for. Felt unsafe. How can it advertise as a hotel when they don’t do food. Checked out as quick as I checked in!

Most unwelcome I've ever felt in any pub in Ireland and SaltHill of all places. He was alll nice with the locals. If he wants it to be locals only he should have a bouncer on the door and say so upfront. The younger bar man was really nice. I love Galway and he just made me fell so ousted.

I can’t rate this place highly enough. Situated in the hills with breathtaking views of the stunning coastline, Villa Ketty is a fantastic find. Antonio and his wife Denise lead a fabulous team who cannot do enough to ensure you have the most fabulous stay. Winding roads lead down into the nearby town and if you continue on further, you hit the beach clubs. The train station is just a short walk away and provides quick and easy access to Sorrento and the rest of the Amalfi Coast. In the opposite direction is Pompeii. At Villa Ketty you are treated to a breakfast of dreams, full of homegrown ingredients. Our room was charmingly decorated, comfortable and cleaned daily. But most impressively we had views directly out onto the beautiful coastline. Highly recommend.

We received a phone call cancelling our stay at 3pm on the day we were due to arrive, forcing us into a last minute search for somewhere else to stay locally the day before a bank holiday weekend. Totally unapologetic, unfriendly and unhelpful. We note from previous comments here that this is not the first time they have done this to customers. Wish we had checked before we booked. Avoid at all costs, or you will be left stranded.

John the barman is an absolute liability to the office bar business, rude, temperamental and saying nasty comments under his breath. If the owner had any cop on he'd sort him out fairly soon. Me and my friends will not be back if John is still there.
