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.).

CanadaThe staff were immediately helpful, allowing us to check in early as the room was ready, to drop bags while we explored around. They called a taxi for us. Recommended restaurant options. Generally made everything smooth and easy. I wasn't aware that a breakfast was included, so unfortunately we missed that! The beds were very comfortable and the room and attached bathroom were just perfect. It was also surprisingly quiet, being so close to the main shopping streets. Easy walk up the hill from the bus and train station. There's also a great little grocery store just a minute walk from Peggy Moores.

United KingdomNo direct onsite parking however there are parking options very close by.
Very clean room with large bed. Ample storage space for luggage and good plug space close to the bed. Shower and bathroom available in the room which were very clean. Towel provided by the hostel was an added bonus. Extra toilets available on the main corridor. Outdoor balcony/smoking area was a nice touch too. Good proximity to the town. Very friendly staff.

IrelandIt was NOT an issue for me, but just to make people aware that when I stayed there it was a Saturday night and the music downstairs went on until quite late (understandably). Not a problem for me, just worth noting.
Probably the best hostel I ever stayed in! It was super clean, modern and comfortable. The little bag of sweets on the pillow was a lovely touch. The room was warm and cosy and I had a lovely meal in the pub downstairs. All the staff were super friendly and helpful, thank you! 10/10

Germanynothing to complain about
Towels are included :) The Hostel is located on top of the pub, so it's perfect to listen to some live musik, and grad a pint before going to bed. From the room, you could barely hear anything from the pubs music and the closing times in ireland are reasonable to catch enough Zzzs. Food (delicious burgers and other things) is also offered. The Hostel doors (front door and room) are locked via pin-codes so there's no card/key you can forget. the 6 ppl Dorm had it's own bathroom with shower (good water pressure). Some beds are extra-wide; there are light blocking curtains, lockers under the beds and usb+power-sockes (UK sockets) as well a reading light at each bed. The window towards the road also has a light blocking curtain and was relatively good isolated (not 100% soundproof but good). it's a ~10min walk (slightly uphill through the city) from the bus station (100x or 101 from the airport).
