Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

IrelandI stayed for one night and the location was convenient. My room was right in front of the bathroom, which made things easier. However, I didn’t feel very secure as the door didn’t lock from the outside. Communication was also difficult since the staff didn’t speak English well, and important information like the Wi-Fi and the building access code wasn’t given to me at check-in. I only received the code by chance when I met the receptionist on my way out, otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to get back in. Overall, it worked for a short stay, but some improvements in communication and safety would make the experience much better.
The room was small but comfortable for the price. Both the room and the bathroom were very clean and well organized, which I really appreciated.

UkraineThe single room is very small, and most importantly it has a very small and old window that does not open. Guys please do not use this room for people, it is against hygiene rules, because there is no ventilation!
The service is very good, the staff is friendly and ready to help. The public bathrooms are very clean. The hotel administration provided the opportunity to change the room without a window to a good room.

UkraineWi-Fi wasn't working during my stay, had to use the one for staff downstairs. They are doing bins at midnight (very loudly, no way you'd sleep) and start cleaning at 6 AM (also QUITE loudly), so no way you'll sleep 8 hours there. The staff can't see any problem with this. Despite all these efforts can't say it's too clean there: the stairs rails are sticky, and you better don't look under the bed, there are ages of dust and litter there
A room of a good size, you can use kitchen, the staff is friendly and helpful. Good price for the center of Dublin.

United KingdomOutside the property large painted letters state ‘bed and breakfast’ but there was no breakfast. The bunk room was very hot and noisy, but it was the last room available. No tea or coffee, no kettle in the room. The women’s shower was so hot I couldn’t bear it. My husband said the make shower was very good.
It was very clean and the bed was comfortable. We were thankful that they took us at the last minute as our long standing booking was cancelled on the doorstep. It was basic but ok.

CanadaNo fan available for a very hot room. The only window, a skylight, was covered with a dusty pillowcase. No way to air out the room as the door needed to remain closed for fire purposes. Very narrow and steep stairs to get to the top rooms.
Fantastic location. The bed was comfortable. It was fine for one night, but wouldn't recommend staying longer.

I have left my jacket there and they have reported no belongings was found which I know not to be true as I left this on the chair in the room. I was woken at 9am to be told check out is at 11 ? Which seems silly ! Vacuuming noise from around 8am

United KingdomThe room didn’t smell particularly nice so we had to air it out. It’s a busy street so we had to close the window when we were ready to sleep. There’s no free WiFi as advertised. I couldn’t sleep as the doors to the next door rooms (occupied by staff) were banging closed all night with loud conversations outside and on phones. I’m glad we only stayed one night as this would have made any longer trip unbearable and we would have had to look elsewhere. No TV in the room. When you compare it to hotels nearby, it’s only slightly cheaper and breakfast and WiFi is included at other properties.
The staff were very communicative and looked after our bags until check in time. There’s a couple of small supermarkets nearby for snacks.

United Statescould only text from any device; I needed to use Zoom, facetime or whatsapp as I did at every other accommodation in the IR and it was unacceptable to be prevented from making business calls when wifi was listed as included. The noise both within the building and outside my window was quite loud until very late. Perhaps this could be disclosed. Earplugs helped. Steep, narrow steps to upper floor.
The room and bathroom were clean, towels and sheets fresh and mattress comfortable. The staff member who was to check me in was chatting next door and after I followed him in, he carried my bag to my room.
