Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. 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. 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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

The decor is dated, but its perfectly fine and the rooms have everything you need. There is no lift and there were a lot of stairs to the top floor. There wasn't much choice of breakfast (vegans may have to just have toast) however there may have been other options not known to me as I didnt ask for them.
Welcoming, friendly and traditional B&B. Lovely building and a short walk from the city centre. Surrounded by parks and close to the University. Clean and large en suite room. Breakfast was lovely - not too large at all. At all points the attentive and friendly staff make you feel welcome.

Everything was fine
The room was very clean and comfortable. The house is lovely and well located, you can walk from there to both UCC and to the city centre. Breakfast was nice, home cooked. I wish there were just more vegetarian or vegan options - i.e. fruit salad or nice local cheese, potato cakes, fried mushrooms etc. I had a nice stay there and would recommend it if you are looking for a traditional B&B.

The bathroom was very small and I think that in general the structure needs more maintenance ( e.g. some electrical outlets do not work) and renewal works.
The best points of this stay were: - Hosts, very friendly and nice - The breakfast - The position of the place, just 10 mins from Cork City center For sure If in future I will go again on cork, I will choose this apartment

I think the Wi-Fi was a bit patchy.. and as we had family staying in another nearby hotel we needed to be able to access this - but, I don't see this as a major issue. Their hotel was a 10 min walk away so, we could actually just walk there.
Location was great. 20 mins walk into centre of Cork. And, around the corner from University leisure centre which I wanted to use. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Good and filling Irish Breakfast. Bed was very comfortable. Property was quiet in terms of other guest noise. Our room was facing street so, if window was open there was street noise.
