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.).

IrelandThere is no room service. This wasn’t an issue for me but it is something to be aware of. The hotel is also on a steep hill which some people might find difficult to walk up, but staff are very helpful in terms of ordering taxis.
I requested a room close to the lift which was granted. The hotel also gave me a room with an extra large bathroom. I did not request this, but it was greatly appreciated.

CanadaNot enough parking at the hotel and it’s a bit of a walk to the parking they have partnered with and you have to pay a daily rate. Room constantly smelled of cigarette smoke and it was told to staff. Perhaps it was in the vents.

United StatesBathroom shower water was quite low pressure, but bathroom was very clean. If you forget to pack a shower cap, for your hair,, the front desk does not offer or sell a disposable one. This would be an easy and very inexpensive problem to solve!
Very accommodating restaurant wait staff, and front desk. Hotel location was very good,. Breakfast was extremely good, with a variety of delicious baked goods, fresh fruit, wonderful yogurts, and plenty of hot food choices. The breakfast area was bright, cheery and a welcoming place to begin the day.

United KingdomBit pricey at £160 just for one night, especially as we were tourists so only used the room to sleep and shower. Room was very hot so air con would have been much better then the fan in the room.
The staff were excellent. Front desk held our bags for us on our leaving day so we didn’t have to carry them with us While we had a stroke around the area, which was a great help and the reception printed off some paperwork I needed.

AustraliaNo aircon or air flow in top 4th floor rooms. Windows are Eve style with.minimum air flow. Fans were offered and we had a good night's sleep as weather was cool 😎.. Believe such a beautiful hotel deserves training the staff the history of the building.
Lovely staff and convenient location. Full of amazing history one bar staff lady member was really passionate about the history of the building. Gave us the heads up on the grave yard and old streets around the hotel to visit.
