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.).

There was only 1 person on reception at busy times, so a bit of a wait. Not a huge issue.

Verified reviewThis little apartment was so clean and comfortable. It is in the best location in Dublin. The staff was so friendly and helpful, the room was equipped with everything i needed, and the hotel is very chic and tastefully decorated.
My room was overlooking a construction site and the workers came early and banged hammers and machines. But I just closed the window and drowned it out with a white noise app on my phone.

Verified reviewVery central location, just next to Ha'penny Bridge and opposite Temple Bar, with easy access to bus stops.
Very thin walls (neighbours were quite loud at times). We had a room towards the back, overlooking a huge construction side, along with the noise that came with it.
Dear Michael, Thank you for taking the time to leave us your feedback. Delighted to know that the central location of the property suited your stay being close to major attractions and public transport. We are sorry to hear that there some noise complaints coming from the neighbours and the back street construction. We do hope to see you again in the future. kind regards Robert - Head Host

Lots of trendy lighting in room but still a bit dark.

Verified reviewThe property was really well located, close to bars, restaurants and public transport. It was small and stylist, quiet and clean. The room was really spacious with great facilities.
They close the outside door at 5pm, which is not a problem, however we didn’t have a room key to gain access and it was impossible to hear anything from the intercom due to traffic outside. Also the outside door was very heavy and would have been very difficult for someone with mobility issues to open alone. I was with my son who is a wheelchair user, he could not have got in on his own.
Hi Kelly, Thank you for taking the time to share with us your feedback. We are glad to know that you enjoyed the location of the property being close to some trendy F&B spots and public transport. We can understand the frustration with the noisy traffic outside its hard to understand the voice from the intercom, we also understand that the main gate can be heavy and this is a valid point. Let me pass this comment onto our building manager and see if we can come up with a solution for this. We loved having you here and we hope to see you again in the future. kind regards Robert - Head Host

Verified reviewIt was a great location, close to many city attractions so very easy to walk to many places. The staff were welcoming and very helpful. Kitchen facilities were good & the coffee shop downstairs was convenient.
Our room did not have a good outlook and was a bit dark (although my children's room was better). While the room was very clean overall, the ceiling had brown stains, like there was damp/water issues. The beds/mattress was not the most comfortable (tended to slope to middle with weight of sleeper).
Dear Margaret, We appreciate you taking the time to leave us your feedback. Delighted to know that our central and convenient location suited your stay, close to all major attractions. Our front desk staff will be so happy to hear the lovely comment. However we are sorry know that that there were some issues during your stay, the views vary from room to room as we are in the city centre. The natural stone ceiling can sometimes be discoloured, but we will ask maintenance to double check that there is no water issues there and we'll pass the mattress concerns onto our housekeeping team. It was truly our pleasure hosting you here and we hope to see you again in the near future. kind regards Robert - Head Host
