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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

IrelandAs I am a light sleeper I found the nigh life noise disturbing.
If you look for somewhere central with all shops and restaurants and cafes on your doorstep, this is the hostel to stay in. On the downside you will hear all the night life during the night. So not quite suitable for a light sleeper. The staff is friendly and if you are a solo traveler you would enjoy the chats. They genuinely go out of their way to facilitate your needs within the policy of the place. Breakfast is as usual porridge and toast, tea and coffee, but as it provides a kitchen you can easily cook your own food throughout the day e.g. if you have any special dietary requirements. The place was kept clean as well as it provided the necessary stuff for keeping it clean for yourself such as anti-bact sprays, sanitisers, paper towels etc.

United KingdomOne shower was cold but staff member quickly redirected me to another one. Water needs to be on longer as hard to wash with 1 hand. Hanging clothes on back of shower door means they get wet, we don't all travel with lge towel or want to rent one. Bedroom slightly chilly in the morning. No milk for coffee or fridge to be seen for guests. No lockers for daytime. Used WiFi code but couldn't activate

IrelandThe showers were pretty poor, only like warm and had to keep pressing button for only 15 seconds of poor flow. Quite loud late at night and early morning from other guests but somewhat understandable as it's an old building.
The staff was all extremely friendly and helpful. Location was excellent.

IrelandI did not like the fact that the beds are two stories high, it is not very comfortable to sleep on the bottom bed. And that there are no side tables or chairs in the room.
I liked the location in the city center, the price and quality, I was completely satisfied. Clean all around, bathroom is shared but still very clean.
