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...).

United KingdomThe grounds are awesome, staff extremely knowledgeable and friendly however trying to negotiate my way around the campus to my room was extremely difficult. You'd need a satnav and scooter

CanadaThe washrooms… so far from the rooms. And it is quite far from Dublin centre. However I would stay again, good value for money.
It is an incredible campus. Almost looks like a story book when you first go in. Exterior of the hotel is really beautiful. Beds are very comfy, too.

Beautiful old building, felt like I stepped into Harry Potter's world with the beautiful corridors & huge breakfast hall & magnificent architecture. Bed extremely comfortable & spotlessly clean.

IrelandOverall a thumbs up, it's very reasonably priced so that's a real bonus, however be aware when you arrive there it's a University campus so it was dark and it took us a little while to find the reception, we met a very nice security man walking across a lawn who directed us to reception and we managed from there. be aware its student accommodation and shared bathroom set up, the room may be a considerable distance from the bathroom so if you have to use in the middle of the nite you may have a fair walk, this was highlighted and we had no problem with it, overall for the money it was spot on and we would say it was great value for money and we would use again

United StatesThe room was hot and the window could only be opened a crack. Our room was located near the women's bathroom which was convenient for me but my husband had to walk down a long hallway to get to the men's room. So the comfort level was not high. It's a traditional dormitory, with twin beds.
The setting on the 19th century university campus is stunning, with beautiful trees and grounds, near a bustling restaurant district. The location was also convenient for flying out of Dublin Airport the next day--more interesting and affordable than an airport hotel.

IrelandThe rooms shown in photos listed far exceeded the quality of the room we had. Felt a little overpriced. The room location was affected by noise of some boiler or unit that ran all night outside the building and could be heard with window open as room was warm.
Location perfect, middle of town.

OmanThe rooms are a little dated and very hot when the sun is shining. New carpets would go a long way as the current ones really spoil the look of the room. No matter how clean the room is, it'll always look grubby.
The campus is a real gem to stay in and so close to everything Maynooth has to offer. The staff are always so helpful and the grounds of the campus are just breathtaking.

United StatesThis was a phenomenal place to stay for a solo traveler. It was affordable and the campus is beautiful! The bus was easy enough to catch into city center. The room itself is very basic, but I do not need much, so it was perfect. The shared bathroom and showers were completely clean and private, no big deal to share at all. Great value for the price. I would definitely stay again!
