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 are 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 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):
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.
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.).

United KingdomI enjoyed my stay overall, although I felt the receptionist I spoke with on arrival was initially rude. The issue in question was a genuine misunderstanding, and once sorted, she was polite.
The hotel was very quaint, clean and smelled really nice. I booked a small room (no windows) and it was a cosy room, just enough for what I needed.

IrelandHad a positive experience last time I was here. This time was comparatively horrible. Room was small, cramped, and away in a corner. I had booked a room with a window. It had a window, but the window was up higher than my head. You'd have to climb on a chair to look out. Room was musty and dirty. There was a massive gap underneath the door that meant light and noise from the hallway came into my room all night, meaning I had to stuff towels at the base of the door just to sleep. Thin walls meant I heard *everything* from surrounding rooms.
Been here before. Nice area, good access to the city. Hold onto bags for free when you're waiting for flights. Staff very nice.

United KingdomThe breakfast!! How you can carry on serving that is mental. The bacon looked like it had been boiled. The sausages were rank and the beans to say they were out of a can were the worst. I would advise not to book breakfast and go elsewhere
The property was nice and clean, basic rooms but was ok for what we needed. Reception staff couldn’t break a smile to save their lives.

United KingdomReception accidentally charged me again on arrival when I had in fact paid for my visit over the phone. This was instantly noticed by another staff member and corrected, and the staff were very apologetic for the error. This very slight inconvenience was the only issue I had with my visit.
Very cheap for such a central location, staff and security were very friendly, and the building itself is beautifully decorated and designed. Very easily accessible by public transport and very close to many good restaurants, bars and a 24 hour store.

United KingdomDespite arriving late due to horrendous traffic, and making this known to staff, families (fair enough) and people on business/diplomatic duties seemed to be given priority at check in, even though my check in would be very quick. Also, the room was very noisy… both from drunks walking down the corridor and a fan in the bathroom. Some evidence of damage in the bathroom too Additionally, the fire alarm/smoke detector light in the ceiling was very annoying. Local parking was expensive.
Location was good. Interesting building

United KingdomThe room’s shower was designed poorly. every time the shower was turned on, it sucked in the shower curtain so it was a battle against the curtain while trying to wash. also, the soap box was right where the hips are so didn’t leave much room to stand.
Great location and cheap price.

United KingdomWindows were too high up so couldn’t see out of them, only one tiny bar of soap for the sink. It’s £7 PER DEVICE for wifi which I think is a bit expensive, it would be okay if it was for more than one decide - not great for work or business. The key card stopped working and we had to be let back into our rooms, although the card was restarted at reception. Quite old-fashioned inside.
Location is excellent and right in the city centre, beds were comfy and hairdryer and kettle with milk and tea were provided.
