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 reviewVery clean and staff was delightful.
The theme of music and guitar amps and radios is a bad idea in the middle of the night when your neighbor feels like playing techno at full blast. Couldn’t get a wink of sleep. Also, the room’s window wouldn’t open. When coupled with the cement ceiling, I felt imprisoned. Also, too much style, and the wrong style I should say. No cozy substance.

Verified reviewCentral location, walking distance to most landmarks.
The noise at night. My room 240 must have been close to a late night club that was open until 1am with very loud singing and music.

Verified reviewWe didn't get breakfast.
Staff were pleasant but unhelpful, they appeared to be put out when asked for anything as though it was a hassle. It is a "computer says no "hotel with "that's not my job" attitude. We contacted via email to request a call from the manager to discuss our stay however they only appear to be able to contact via email and so our issue has still not been discussed or resolved. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone.

Verified reviewThe location is easy walking distance to Temple Bar and attractions like Trinity College. The decor was modern and comfortable.
There was no phone in the room and no phone even on the floor. Our room was without power one morning and we could not even find a local phone number on the website to call reception. We found a call centre number which was not answered as it was ‘out of business hours’. A ridiculous and dangerous situation for a hotel! We had to walk downstairs to tell them about the situation. They didn’t seem to understand why this was a problem… The shower also ran hot and cold alternately. Breakfast was exactly the same spread each day. Three hot options only and usually only warm.
Hey Michelle, Thank you for taking the time to leave a detailed review of your stay at Ruby Molly. We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed our central location, with easy access to local attractions, and our modern yet comfortable decor. We acknowledge your concerns regarding the absence of a phone in the room and the power issue you experienced. As part of our Lean Luxury philosophy, our rooms don't have traditional amenities like in-room phones, but we do offer complimentary hot drinks and a Maxi bar in our Galleys. We regret any inconvenience this may have caused, and we encourage guests to let our team know of any issues during their stay so we can provide immediate assistance. We also understand your comments regarding the shower and breakfast. Our team strives to ensure that all aspects of your stay are enjoyable, and we appreciate your feedback. Despite these issues, we hope you were still able to enjoy your time with us, and we hope to see you again in the future. Your Ruby Molly Team
