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 reviewStaff were great. Great reception area and bar. Ideally located for centre of dublin. Room was clean and spacious, with no complaints. If at the hotel bar, try the barmans Bloody Mary and the Secret sauce.

Verified reviewThe hotel is cozy and the staff was friendly and accommodating. The bar and restaurant are excellent. The area is full of life and excitement if you don't mind late night noise.
The location is good if you want to be in the heart of Temple Bar, but it is very loud well into the early morning. Also, room was a bit small for a deluxe.
Hi Philip, Thank you very much for your review! I'm happy to hear that you found the hotel located in a convenient spot right in the heart of Temple Bar, and that our friendly staff made it more memorable. I will make sure to leave a note on your reservation with your preference for a quieter and larger room. Looking forward to your next visit. Kind regards, Pablo Graciano

Hotel is in need of some TLC. Rooms do not appear to have been updated in years.. reported TVs in both rooms did not work- very old. Given a business card and told to contact manager. Later in evening significant leak coming through light in bathroom from room above. Shorted lights. Family did not feel safe in room so ended up crashing all in one room. Hotel provided a camp bed as hotel full. No offer of any compensation next morning. Rumour is hotel closing down for major renovation soon.

Verified reviewI like the lobby bar and its location.
The apartments are dated and warm with no air conditioning, even though it was not hot outside. If you open window, you hear street noises.

Verified reviewWalking distance to all the places we wanted to visit - Trinity College, Dublin Castel, St Stephen's Green. Right on the edge of Temple Bar and we were not disturbed by any noise.
Don't think housekeeping did a proper job of checking things before our arrival. Handheld shower missing on the bath which we only realised when we put the taps on!! Situation was resolved very quickly once we reported it. On the plus side, there were plenty of towels to mop up the water.
Hi Fiona, Thank you very much for the lovely review and nice words! I'm happy to hear that you had a great weekend here at The Clarence. I will make sure to pass your comments to the accommodations staff so they can look into the situation in the bathroom. It's good to know that it was promptly resolved by the team. We look forward to welcoming you again soon. Kind regards, Pablo Graciano
