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 reviewEveryone was extremelly helpful and kind. The room was very clean, with cosy beds and the WiFi was fast. There was also a terrace from which you can see all of Maynooth and it's great to have your coffee in the morning.
I wouldn't change anything.

Verified reviewIt was clean and modern. The staff was friendly. It is really close to the main street where all the bars and restaurants are.
The walls are really thin... There is no parking directly available and parking in the street is not easy there. Best option is the parking lot nearby but it's not free.

Verified reviewBreakfast was pretty basic but at this stage of our UK Holiday we have found getting any sort of breakfast at a moderate price is nearly impossible. The room was a little cramped but the bed was huge so overall we were very happy

Verified reviewAll the staff were so incredibly lovely, accommodating and welcoming. The room was clean and comfy. Everything worked perfectly. The location is excellent, right in the middle of the town. Everything was walking distance and we got great advice on what to check out from the staff.
The room only had an overhead light, a lamp would have been a great addition.

Verified reviewAs a customer service representative myself I really appreciated the immediate responses to any queries I had on booking.com. Also the friendliness of the staff when I arrived was very welcoming and any time I passed through the reception area. The venue is absolutely spotless which is extremely impressive considering it’s a student building. It was also very affordable for me, a single traveller. It also gave me access to a kitchen, fridges and freezers which was beyond expectation.
Nothing comes to mind, the lifts were spotless, the bathrooms and rooms were spotless and the windows afforded excellent ventilation.

Verified reviewThe location is perfect. It is in the center of Maynooth and closed to many stores including Tesco.
The online service is terrible. They never solve your problems if you ask questions online. The only way to make the progress is to repeatedly talk to them in person.
