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 reviewN/a
This hotel agreed to give me a refund for my bad stay but I still haven't received the money. I don't know if it's them or Booking.com dragging their feet with the paperwork. I came here to stay for my dad's 70th birthday to visit his hometown. However, we didn't realise this was the date of the hurling final. The hotel had a nightclub and live bands on. Even though I was wearing noise cancelling headphones, I could still hear the bass and feel it shaking my chest - that's how loud it was. The fire alarm went off twice in my room along with a red flashing light. Once at midnight, once at three AM. When I spoke to reception, he said, "Well if you were from round here, you would have known about the hurling." ... You run a hotel? A business built specifically on hosting those NOT from your area? He also said that the party was impromptu, even though it had been advertised on their Facebook page seven days before. They could have let their guests have a heads up since the nightclub was on Sunday and Monday, not their usual nightclub days, which I had made sure of ahead of time. Overall, this totally ruined our trip and we head back to Dublin instead for an extra day at considerable expense and not getting to complete our plans in Tipperary. I wasn't happy at a refund for only one night being offered, as the first night was torture we endured and neither of us slept. However, it is adding insult to injury that we still haven't received any refund at all. They told me to leave and contact Booking.com after. I now wonder if this was a tactic to avoid paying any refund at all. I did not stay Monday night and want my money back. I have waited over a month before posting this review, so think I have been patient enough but now I am annoyed and concerned at my lack of refund. Besides from this, the rooms were dated and dusty. The breakfast was inedible.

Verified reviewThe property was spotless , in the heart of Thurles town , lovely pub across the road and disco in the adjoining garden until early hours of morning. The food was beautiful. Friendly staff.
Fire alarm echoed at 5am waking up most of hotel. Startled but no explanation as to why this happened. The staff at an event were not able to keep up with serving drink , extremely slow service , taken away from the time to enjoy the event itself.

Verified reviewWhile the room was clean and beds were comfortable I can’t understand the best USP (unique selling point) was their nice terrace and the sun was shining yet the staff moved the guests from the best thing about the hotel/ the terrace moving the guests and their drinks from the sunny terrace ti the dark interiors because 400 14 year olds would line up to attend the disco… absolute nonsense. Then following morning they closed off the terrace that was still in the sun because and I quote “we only have staff for lunch from outside to co et the terrace “ even though inside was empty was out of bounds! I explained I was a hotel guest and I would prefer my breakfast in the sun on the lively flowered terrace.. no we don’t do that - ok maybe I can have a te? Yea you can order one from inside and take it out yourself… clearly a hotel that’s doesn't want to make much money or maximise their one unique advantage. Also don’t care for repeat clients. Being from the hospitality industry I can’t understand any of ithe operational choices .. if you just want a no frills and a co Forts le bed - this hotel is great anything more - it’s a no. Also huge trippi c hazards e wry where as carpet isn’t fitted and everytime I went to our room I tripped several times and no lift for luggage so not somewhere for someone who can’t list their bags uo steps - they did offer someone to do this but we declined because we are able bodied.. again if you want a clean room good shower and on site carpark - this is your place. If you want anything more than this …. I’m still upset that I wasn’t able to enjoy their front terrace… makes no sencer

Verified reviewThis was a very short stay - basically just to sleep, breakfast and go. The bed was very comfortable, the breakfast sausage were especially yummy and the breakfast set me up for a day of sightseeing.
I forgot to check if the hotel had a lift and they didn't, however they kindly carried my heavy suitcase up 2 floors and down at the end of my stay.
