How guest reviews work
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 use a weighted review system which means that 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewAbsolutely charming. Located in a quiet but not-too-out-of-the-way neighborhood - 4 minute walk to the train/DART station. A lovely, charming experience, but not overly expensive. Wonderful breakfast and very friendly staff. I was traveling alone but would love to come back with my wife.
Nothing. Just a bout a perfect stay.

Verified reviewAriel house exceeded expectations, gorgeous hotel and our triple room was very comfortable and spacious. Lovely cooked breakfast served in the conservatory and very attentive staff. The sitting room was a highlight with complimentary coffee and cake. 5 mins to the train station which takes you into the centre of Dublin in approx 8 mins. Alternatively if driving there is a car park out front on the property. Would definitely stay here again. One of the best hotels we have stayed at. Thank you Ariel House.

Verified reviewVery nice area, close to main attractions, clean, quiet
Hot rooms downstairs where we stayed, in one of our rooms the windows were dead locked, no air. I do not care of the staff attitude, kind of unfriendly, formal

Verified reviewLovely breakfast. The family room was comfortable, and clean. Good shower facilities. Was nice to have coffee and cake in the reception room. Perfect location near the train station.
The room was dark due to position on the lower floor and next to exterior walls. Tv reception was poor but we weren't there too much with the kids. Could hear the upstairs occupants moving about through the night. Double beds were OK to share with our smaller children, would be less comfortable sharing with larger children or another adult.

Verified reviewIncredible location, right off the DART but still quiet and off the beaten path. Very easy to get around Dublin from here, makes a great home base. Close walking distance to nice restaurants and shops, and also close to tourist locations.

Room was far too warm so might need a way of cooling the room. It was like a sauna and hard to sleep

Verified reviewRight next to the DART that takes you to Dublin center in 10 minutes. Most of the staff were warm and welcome, except one person who was not as friendly as one would expect.
Breakfast did not match the expectations set by the advertisement. The porridge was overcooked. The beds are nothing other than average and subpar to the price of the room.

Verified reviewLocation is great. Close to the train station, and to a very nice river path. Great complimentary cakes in the afternoon too. Very helpful custom guide book in the hotel room!
A couple of the staff for breakfast seemed like they were on their first day... No problem if it was their first day - a bit odd if not. The breakfast was definitely above average for a place like this, but not a replacement for going out for breakfast and coffee.
