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):
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.).

AustraliaThere isn’t a massive community vibe here and people weren’t very chatty like in other hostels. But staff were still friendly and helpful and it was good value.
The beds in the dorm rooms were well thought out with a little shelf and pocket to put your things, two lights and two sockets to charge phones etc. Breakfast buffet was good value with an Irish breakfast, toast and fruit selections.

IrelandHave to request to get your water bottle filled at the bar which is strange rather than any self service water refill. Have to pay extra to check in even a few minutes before 3pm which in a society that already is super expensive for travellers seems unfair especially if the bed is ready. It's just a few euro but that's not really the point. Requested bottom bunk - was allocated top bunk despite several free bottom bunks.
It's clean, bathrooms were good, great location

CanadaBoth the sinks and shower were clogged. I was only there for 2 days and i ended up unclogging the shower because it wasnt draining at all. Very gross.
Loved the location and the beds! The beds were pretty big and they had individual hooks, curtain, lighting and a charger. Loved that we had privacy even when sharing a room. The toilet and shower were in separate rooms which was very smart. Staff were all friendly and helpful! Common area was well decorated and fun

CroatiaMaybe they could freshen up the bedding and beds, the hangers in the closet, otherwise everything in the room was fine.
A hostel for every recommendation, great value for money. The location is great, right in the center, quite safe, close to all the city's attractions. The breakfast offer in the restaurant is excellent, better than some hotels I've stayed in and all the staff are extremely friendly and helpful. We stayed in a double room which seems quite small, but has plenty of space for two. The bathroom is clean, which was perhaps the most important thing for us. I recommend it!

United StatesBed was comfortable but could feel the springs through the mattress. There's also something off with the elevators in the building - would give yourself 5 extra min just to get downstairs if you're planning on taking the elevators.
Great location - had been unsure about it having never been to Dublin before, but felt completely comfortable walking back alone at night. En suite bathroom was clean and updated. Liked that the shower and WC were separate. Pod setup is great for a little added privacy.

United StatesI agree with some of the other reviews that the mattresses are not very comfortable because you can feel the actual springs in them. Also, the cleaners need to change out the rubber shower mats more often. The space was usually cleaned well but the rubber matts in the shower room are woven and collect lint, mold and grime easy, they could use a good dunk in cleaner more often.
This property was a pleasant surprise. The staff is really friendly and helpful. They do a great job even though this place gets so busy with such a high turnover. Despite the noisy downstairs and the city center the rooms are actually very quiet. Really appreciate the option of all female rooms and also separating out the shower and bathroom in our room. The privacy curtain, two lighting options and the shelf - the space and layout is well thought out. Such a great central location.

United KingdomNo complimentary tea and coffee. Price for one night was quite excessive when there's no tea or coffee and have to pay for these. Check in not until 3pm unless you pay for earlier and then you've to be out for 10am. Very noisy outside and the room was warm so we had to open the window and listen to the noise. Aircon didn't work!
Bedroom was clean, comfortable bed and two pillows each which were comfy.
