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 comfy bed, great amenities and perfect location. Right in the heart of it all but not noisy. Maurine was a fabulous host, so helpful and always available for questions. Would 100% stay here again when we return to Dublin. The room has a fridge with bottled water and even snacks supplied as well as ear plugs, not that we needed them. The room is so much nicer in real life than is shown in the photos as well.
Some people may find it slightly uncomfortable as you are basically staying in a bedroom in someone else's apartment while they live there. However it is advertised as a shared flat so this is to be expected and we found it absolutely no issue.

Verified reviewI didn’t like the property
When I rented it I thought it would be a hotel or a flat and when I got there it was an apartment with 3 more rooms with different people and it was messy, I didn't feel comfortable and I didn't like the place. I wouldn't recommend it for the price I paid.
Dear Melo and girlfriend. Honestly, I’m more disappointed that 2 young ladies were unable to do some due diligence before booking for your short stay with us. Had you read about the description of shared flat or even the reviews, you’d have noticed how I’ve tried to inform potential guests that our place is infact not a hotel please but our home too. Thanks again, Maurine!

Verified reviewMe and my sister came to Dublin for a nice getaway and Maurine was so lovely and friendly and the room was very clean and bed was super comfy. The temple bar area was only a 5 minute walk down the road so very local. If I ever go back to Dublin will definitely stay here again.

Verified reviewI communicated with Maurine prior to coming . She took time on WhatsApp to help us with transportation options from the airport to her sight. It was so helpful. She offered to let us use her hot pot or coffee maker in the am . If we needed anything she was right there. Her phone did not go unanswered. We wanted to take a tour in the am and she graciously let us leave our luggage in her flat. The space was small but very clean and very comfortable. It was the smallest place we stayed on our 12 day trip but her hospitality and kindness was far above all the other locations we stayed at. I believe she is just a very kind and genuine person and I would definitely stay again!
