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):
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.
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.).

IrelandThe female receptionists were not so pleasant but Benjamin made up for the lack of enthusiasm. He was a breath of fresh air. He checked on me every hour or so in give him 💯 per cent. You are so lucky to have some caring staff on board.
Not too big. Cancer patient so manoeuvring is hard. There was no fridge in the room, but arrived next day. Delighted.

DenmarkThe walls between the rooms are not that thick, so we could hear the television at the neighbors. Breakfast was simple, but for us it was sufficient.
The rooms are very spacious, which is a big plus.

IrelandReceptionist was very kind to move us to the other side of the hotel into a big family room to give us space from the wedding. She also explained we would hear the kitchen fans but they didn’t bother us too much and appreciated being told in advance. We still heard the music unfortunately but perhaps because it was very hot and they had the doors and windows open. The music did finish up around midnight though so not too bad. TV was terrible, very few channels and completely lost the signal for the channels we would have been interested in. We didn’t go to watch telly but if we had kids it probably would have been a pain. Bulb gone in bedside lamp. We would have loved a couple of bottles of water in the fridge as it was an extremely hot day and no air con in the room but we got drinks from the bar. Minor details but as I have worked in hotels I perhaps am a bit more pedantic than others!
Very good 3 star hotel in perfect location for our need as we were visiting Wicklow Way Wines and we could walk the 15 minutes. All staff were friendly, helpful and polite. Lunch in the bar was very good, prompt bar service, patio area was nice in the evening for drinks. All areas well kept and the bar is particularly nicely decorated. Air con in the Reception area was great. Bedroom and bathroom very clean. Free parking and despite there being a wedding we still found a space.

IrelandI do love a bath, but the fill was very slow and not very warm. However, this is my only criticism.
Lovely hotel. Friendly, helpful staff. Very clean all round. As I didn't have a car, being beside the bus stop was ideal.

United KingdomThe staff thought it was a hardship to call you a taxi, oversea travelers can’t just call a taxi from their mobile as it’s a different area code. Really nice duty manager rectified this.

United KingdomThe car park was pretty unprepossessing. I wondered where I had come to because the building all around it were quite unattractive, but fortunately the view of the back of the hotel does not reflect the inside of the hotel itself, which is perfectly nice, clean and comfortable, with a very lively bar.
There was a very well populated bar attached to the hotel filled with what appeared to be very jolly locals and with live music playing. Having a good atmosphere like that makes eating alone a lot more enjoyable. The food (chowder and soda bread) was fantastic.
