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 reviewGreat staff, nice bedding. Discounted parking but parking.
No air conditioning- opened window - couldn’t sleep bc either noisy bar patrons and street cleans at 3am. Way too hot with window closed but dampened some of the street noise. Discounted parking located 3 blocks from hotel- tough to carry luggage thru the city - would be nice for hotel to provide instructions to drop bags and then park.

Verified reviewExcellent location in Temple Bar. Beautifully decorated hotel with lots of character. Loads of bars, restaurants & attractions nearby all within walking distance. Plenty of public transport options. Great bar & restaurant in the hotel too with welcoming and friendly staff. Breakfast was fantastic. Rooms were a good size and bathroom immaculate. Our rooms were overlooking the main road so it was quite noisy with the window open as it's summer, but there were ear plugs provided! No noise with the window shut though. Will definitely stay again.
Dear Rob, Thank you so much for your lovely and detailed review – it truly means a lot to us! We're delighted to hear you enjoyed our central location in Temple Bar and that you appreciated the character and style of the hotel. It’s wonderful to know that our team made you feel welcome, and that you had a great experience both in our bar and restaurant, as well as at breakfast – we’ll be sure to pass on your kind words to the staff. We're also pleased the room size and cleanliness met your expectations, and we appreciate your understanding regarding the lively atmosphere outside – especially during the summer months. We're glad the earplugs were helpful and that it was peaceful with the windows closed. Thank you again for your kind feedback – we’re absolutely thrilled to hear you plan to stay with us again. We look forward to welcoming you back! Warm regards, Dublin Citi Hotel Management

Basic accommodation, toilet handle falling out of cistern, tap was loose. Not worth the money we had to pay for the weekend. Very noisy pub attached to hotel
Dear Keri, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're pleased to hear that you enjoyed our central location and found the bed comfortable – it's great to know those aspects of your stay met your expectations! We're sorry to learn through your review that certain elements of the room did not meet the standard we aim to provide though. Please rest assured that these maintenance issues have been noted and passed on to our team for immediate attention. We also regret that the noise from the pub impacted your experience. While the lively atmosphere is part of the character of the venue and of Dublin's Temple Bar Area in general, we understand this may not suit everyone and will continue to look at ways to improve soundproofing where possible! We truly value your feedback, as it helps us improve both our facilities and guest experience! Thank you again for your comments, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future under more comfortable circumstances. Kind regards, Dublin Citi Hotel Management

Verified reviewCentral location and easy to walk everywhere we wanted to go. The room was clean and beds were comfortable enough. It was very hot in the room so we were glad to have a window that opened for air flow. Front staff were friendly.
We knew we booked a small room, but it was so small there was no where to put our suitcases and they had to lay on the floor in front of the room door and bathroom door, which made it very awkward to get around in the space. The elevator could use some signage as to which button takes you to which area of the pub and hotel lobby.
Dear Blythe, Thank you for choosing Dublin Citi Hotel for your stay! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed our central location, clean rooms, and friendly staff — we truly appreciate your kind words and recognition! Thank you also for your helpful suggestion regarding elevator signage. Your feedback is valuable to us, and we will take it into consideration as we continue to improve our guest experience. We hope that the compact size of your room did not overshadow your overall experience, as we would love the opportunity to welcome you back and make your next stay even more enjoyable!

It’s downtown Dublin in general but it felt like it was overpriced for what it offered. €250 a night for one of the smallest hotel rooms I’ve ever stayed in. You’re paying for the location.

There is no air conditioning (very common across Ireland), but a fan is provided. The window opens only very slightly, so not much circulation. Do not expect to be cool. But we knew all this in advance.
Dear William, Thank you for sharing your feedback! We're delighted you enjoyed our excellent location and pleasant facilities.

Wi-Fi very poor, laptop didn't work, it was August but 64F outside, inside very hot, small fan not enough, two ceiling windows didn't provide enough ventilation After flying 36 hours, flight from EWR cancelled, redirected in opposite direction across US, I arrived at noon, lobby was empty, quiet, no phones ringing; asked blond receptionist when I could check in: without pausing, blinking, checking her computer she immediately said "anytime after 3pm" Will not be staying here again and yes I'll be in Dublin at end of the month. Very poor customer service, at least fake it and look at your computer or pretend to call housekeeping and then tell me, "so sorry, no empty rooms "
Dear John Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are truly sorry to hear that your stay did not meet expectations, especially after such a long and exhausting journey. While our standard check-in time is from 3:00 PM — which is particularly important during the high season when the hotel is running at full capacity — we always strive to accommodate early check-ins whenever possible. I’m sorry we were unable to do so in your case and that the interaction at reception came across as unhelpful. That’s not the experience we want any guest to have. We also regret that the room conditions and Wi-Fi did not meet your needs. Your feedback on ventilation and comfort has been noted, and we’re actively working on improvements in those areas. Although you’ve mentioned you won’t be returning, we do appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. It helps us improve, and should your plans ever change, we would welcome the opportunity to offer you a better stay.

Verified reviewI was in room 309 which had two tiny windows that barely open. And these windows face the exhaust vent of a restaurant downstairs that blows food smell coming directly in the room. With no AC, it was impossible to close the windows with the hot temps.
Dear Parind, Thank you for taking the time to review your stay! We apologize for the inconvenience you experienced in room 309. As a historical hotel, some of our rooms - especially those located under the roof - do have smaller windows due to the building’s original layout. Unfortunately, that’s not something we can easily change, though we understand how it can affect the experience during warmer weather! We truly appreciate you bringing the issue with the restaurant vent to our attention. Guests comfort is a top priority, so rest assured we will take the necessary steps to improve! We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back and provide you with a more pleasant and comfortable stay in the future! We’ll be happy to provide you with a different room that better meets your needs then. Kind regards, Dublin Citi Hotel Management
