Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

SwitzerlandFor three days were laundry bags directly in front of my room/ door. The light in the bathroom didn’t work and the towels were damaged. Difficult to reach someone from the staff.

CanadaStaff were virtually non-existent. Reception & entry required the making of a local phone call. As an overseas visitor, I had no local phone. I was not provided a door entry code or other access information prior to arrival. I was eventually let into the premises by a passing cleaner. Later, after a subsequent day out, the door entry code I had been given by another resident no longer worked on my return. It had been changed after I went out. So I was locked out a second time. The lights in the windowless bathroom were not working & were still not working when I left after 4 days. The shower head dangled on the base of the shower cubicle, lacking a bracket to hold it. Handle on tap broken. The carpets were stained & dirty & in need of a thorough cleaning.
The TV worked!

United KingdomStinks of weed, dodgy people all over the place. noisy all night, fixtures and fittings very neglected - don't expect clean or good condition. Seriously it is what it is - a room to sleep the beer off and leave early.
I use this place as somewhere to crash after a few beers with a mate. As far as that goes it's functional. Bring your own bog roll and you should be ok. Don't plan on a shower.

United KingdomCheckin was difficult and onerous (over the phone with someone who only spoke slurred English). In the bathroom there was no toilet paper, no hot water (cold showers only!) and no mirror (anywhere in the room or bathroom!) The place was also riddled with fleas and the staff were extremely difficult to understand (even for someone who has lived in the region for 20 years!)
Property was in good location and was cheap

IrelandEverything could have been better, but it's a property to which no attention has been paid. You get the bare-bones of a service, if you could call it a service at all. It's not in a great part of town, but if getting a cheap room is your objective, this will do that.
The hotel was a no-frills place. There were no visible staff and no attempt to brighten the decor; no investment in the property and none to make you feel welcome. It was basically a flop house and it was cheap. If saving money is your main reason, then this will do it; a room, a bed and a bathroom is what's on offer here, nothing more and nothing less.

United KingdomStrangely we didn’t actually meet or see any staff (apart from the cleaner who let us in) so never obtained the WiFi code, or were unable to ask for an extra cup for our room ( we only had one in a twin room ) Only half a toilet roll in the bathroom which could have caused us an issue (it didn’t though )
We managed to book in early as the rooms were ready, room was clean and comfortable Good location for the town and the football ground
