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...).

CanadaThe property is quite remote with not many amenities close by. Although the apartment was clean, there appears to be a lot of renovation like painting etc. to complete. The balcony rug was filthy and there was laundry drying and cleaning supplies stored there, so the area is very cramped.
The beds were comfortable.

United Kingdom- Both toilets had broken sinks and a broken bathtub - The property is completely rundown - The MCB circuit tripped on its own, and the owner refused to come and sort it out. - The owner pretended to be out of the city, then magically came back the next day and tried to blame us. Read the messages in the picture - Even before we checked in, he sent us appalling messages about the number of people, etc. I have uploaded the videos overhere about our experience and I am now trying to get refund from booking.com https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTuRKqnUjRo&list=PLTT2cV5Sj5MYi-RGuxfKqh9UuC9gZJO3v&index=2&ab_channel=JeewanJain https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3mNxYXyWwU&list=PLTT2cV5Sj5MYi-RGuxfKqh9UuC9gZJO3v&index=2&ab_channel=JeewanJain https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckxMhaqwcQM&list=PLTT2cV5Sj5MYi-RGuxfKqh9UuC9gZJO3v&index=3&ab_channel=JeewanJain
Nothing except a greeting from the host on what's app about collecting keys from the lock box. Got two videos about how to heat the flat and for hot water.

United KingdomI didn’t know I had to heat the water myself, so I’m the morning I had to have a cold shower. Not that big a deal for me tho.
2 good sized bedroom & a main bathroom. The bed we stay on was very comfortable & clean. Apartment was equipped with everything you would need for a short or long stay. Good natural lighting, as there are floor to ceiling windows. Bus stop shops & shopping centre’s very close by too. Parking & access to the property was very easy. Key collecting was simple too.

United KingdomThis was a Flat, in a block of flats, at a VERY VERY busy X roads, it was noisy and parking was a nightmare, having to find a space on a very busy street, a bit of a lottery, really. Why it is called skyview retreat, i have absolutely NO idea, we looked on to another block of flats opposite in one direction and a very busy commercial road on another view. It is NOT a retreat, a retreat to me, is somewhere quite and peaceful. THIS WAS NOT, at all. The photos on the website are NOT all genuine photos of this location, at all. The bath panel was broken and in a dangerous condition, could easily had cut someone. The hot water was a night mare as well. no instructions for it or heating or internet etc. had to contact the owner numerous times and could Not make out much, due to his foreign accent. Bedrooms could do with bed side tables and lamps, in each. A coffee table in the lounge would be useful. Side plates for food, would have been nice. Decoration was very bland and plain.
The lift was handy, as we had two pensioners in their 80's, as we had to go up to the 2nd floor.

IrelandIt was really filthy. Our shoes stuck to the floor (we have videos and photos) there was no hand soap (except for one used Dove bar soap from a previous guest). There were used towels from previous guests hanging on the bedroom door. Very hard to get any hot water going either in the evening or the morning. The sponge to wash the dishes was old (not opened for us). There was dirty laundry in the washing machine. The beds were very uncomfortable. I honestly have to question many of the reviews left for this property as to whether they are true or not. Perhaps if you’re on a stag in Lucan, this property would be grand but it was really awful for our family with a baby on the dirty floor (His onsie was fresh and yellow and now it’s black and fit for the bin.) I will post photos if I can. Every single piece of junk left by previous guests is still in the property, half used this and that. There were 2 butters and a half drank bottle of wine in the fridge. Dirt in the utensil drawers etc. communication was ok but the pin he dropped to find the place left us about a kilometre away from the property. The voice notes were extremely difficult to understand and the key was left out for us under a piece of kerbing which made me feel it was unsafe. A lock box is recommended. A lack of cups/ cutlery etc. Inside of microwave dirty as well as switches etc. we couldn’t wait to get home and shower.
Location was good to go to Emerald park

United Kingdomthere is nothing I can fault about our stay here
I like to book apartments for my family instead of hotels as we just enjoy our own comfort. I must say the host went above and beyond for us, the apartment had absolutely everything you could need and more. it's clean, smoke free and also in a beautiful area. anytime now I'm travelling to the south with my family this will be the apartment I book from now on.

IrelandGreat apartment in Dublin. Clean, comfortable, and exactly as described and shown in the photos. The spacious living room, balcony, and nice view create a homely, welcoming atmosphere. The apartment has everything needed — appliances, kitchenware, and fast Wi-Fi. Parking is available right next to the building, which is a big plus for those traveling by car. The area is quiet, with shops and everything you might need nearby. Excellent value for money. Suitable for both short and long stays. Highly recommend.

GermanyPlace was not well taken care of and not well equipped. Living room had a sofa but no table, and no chairs. Only one stool at the otherwise nice bar. Carpets stained, unfinished paint and masking tape, somebody else‘s laundry in the bathroom. The biggest turnoff for me was the strong perfumed smell from incense sticks and incense plugs in the bedrooms and a rather grotty smell in the living room. If you like the kind of artificial incense smell, you‘ll be fine but I couldn’t sleep in that.
Great location near Lucan center, spacious two bedroom and living room with a nice balcony. Was a good place for work.
