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...).

IrelandThe only downside would perhaps be the noise at night, since there’s a pub beside.
The location is fantastic, with plenty of restaurants, cafés, and parks around. The room had a very nice sea view and is spacious enough for two people and a doggo.

United KingdomRoom was small
Carraig town house was great if you just need a room with out the hotel experience. Very comfortable, clean and good air con and a lovely sea view, simple check in and friendly staff. The room was quite small the bed was the full of it was the only negative about our stay. We only. Needed the room for bed to sleep so it was ample. Right in the hart of BlackRock village which has a great vibe about it.

IrelandI missed in a room small kettle, pots and instant coffee which I would happily have in early morning before shops opening.
It's located in a hart of Blackrock, close to promenade, coffee shops, shopping centre, pubs, train and bus station it's just outside. Very clean and comfortable. We booked it for a one night sleep during the 2 days event in Convention Center, approx 15 - 20 min driving distance. Very convenient. I liked sea view from our window.

United KingdomI'd have liked a kettle in the room. The water pressure in the shower was a bit underwhelming.
Ideal location for us in Blackrock, close to the venue for our training. Surprisingly quiet given location above a pub. It was very hot weather so we did leave the window open and were able to hear chat from outside but I used earplugs and slept soundly. It was quite a small room with not much space between the beds, but the beds were very comfy and it was completely fine for one night. It was very clean and there were plenty of towels (once I found them on a high shelf) and bath/shower gel / shampoo/conditioner provided. A nice touch was the card to get a free coffee at the cafe across the street.

IrelandBright in the morning despite lots of blinds but it wouldn’t stop me from booking again.
Central to the village, and Dart, parking and plenty of eateries and lovely pubs around. Quiet at night, sea view, compact but well kitted out, even an iron in the room. Really friendly staff to greet you when collecting the key. Very clean. Would highly recommend.

United KingdomThere's no denying the room was small but you adapt and spend very little time indoors. Bring a travel kettle if you like a morning coffee.
Couldn't ask for a better location in the centre of Blackrock and 2 minutes walk from the Train station from where you can travel further up the coast and into the city without any hassle. The staff are brilliant, so friendly and helpful with everything. It was a really hot spell when we were there and thankfully the air con does its job and we had a lovely sea view to enjoy.The bar downstairs is very popular and there is great outside seating, perfect for the good weather we had. The voucher for a free drink on Thursday Karaoke night is a nice touch. I would recommend Carraig Townhouse for convenience and hospitality.

IrelandAs an older person with weak knees I disliked the stairs. However, this is a very nicely refitted old village main-street building so lack of a lift or ground-floor rooms were no surprise and a limited amount of huffing and puffing was a minor issue compared to this property's major advantages.
Breakfast was not available on site but there were more than ample options within 50 metres. Location (Main Street, beside boutiques, coffee shops, pubs and 2 malls) couldn't be better. There were bus and train stops nearby and the bedroom overlooked Dublin Bay. Our room was on the small side (as advertised) but very well designed to optimise available space and the bathroom was excellent. Comfortable beds and friendly, helpful, efficient staff in all departments.
