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.).

IrelandOur room wasn't fully stocked with all the items that were on the menu, we didn't mind though as we weren't using them anyway.
Hotel was really lovely, quirky rooms with lots of amenities; record player, mini bar, snacks, large shower. Pool facilities were very nice, outdoor pool was quite cool.

United KingdomI thought 280 a night was a lot considering the room is small. The hotel is lovely though. The drink selection for the function downstairs was very poor and we had to keep going upstairs to get drinks to bring down.
Gorgeous hotel. Unique decor. Such friendly staff and the rooms were very cool. Ours had a record player. Close to everything. We were at a party and stayed for the night.

IrelandService is shocking in Sophies and in Elephant & Castle. We waited over an hour and still didn’t get brekkie on a Saturday morning. Also waited an hour for a burger in Elephant & Castle. Really disappointing as its a beautiful hotel.

United StatesThe sound in the hallway outside my room was loud and you could hear everything. Room service would have been appreciated.. also including some paper menus or hard copies of food choices for convenience of the weary traveler would be nice? Not everyone wants to look at their phone.
I liked the ambiance of the building and room. It was very pleasant and sophisticated, because of the vintage meets modern approach.The staff was friendly and very helpful. The location was perfect and close to town.

IrelandParking is a little bit tricky due to limited spaces but plenty of on street parking available. Close to train and bus station if using public transport.
Lovely hotel, good food and wonderful staff. My expectations were pretty low given experiences in sister properties in Dublin but this was so different to the generic garbage of their other hotels.

United StatesMy daughter and I stayed for 2 nights. It is in a great location! It's very walkable from the train station and all the fun in the city center. The Dean is clean, comfortable, and has cool decor. We had a room overlooking the pool which was only a little noisy one morning. We would stay here again if we had the chance!

IrelandThe hotel was freezing ..the lobby area was baltic as was the little bar off the lobby and it took ages to figure out the heat system in the room. its not automatically on as you would expect, you have to figure out how to heat the room yourself with a complicated wall monitor.
the decor was nice, the room upgrade was appreciated and Sophie's was lovely.

United KingdomThere was basically no storage in the room, which was quite small, so we found things messy quite quickly - there were some 'cool' things like a record player which took up a lot of space, so whilst it looked lovely when we arrived it quickly felt a bit annoying. Ok for a short stay but I'd be fed up if I was any longer than 2 nights!
Location was great, life was easy staying here! Pool, sauna etc were beautifully done, and warm. Decor was gorgeous, especially in the restaurants etc. Staff couldn't have been friendlier, a happy place.

IrelandThe room was small. A lot is packed into the room and we knew it was small before we arrived that it would be on the smaller side. Still enjoyable nonetheless.

IrelandThe room was tiny. The bed was squashed between two walls with very little room either side we basically had to drawl in and out of it. There was no wardrobe just hangers on rails for your cloths. Probably for a younger crowd.
The hotel is in a great location. The rooftop resteraunt is really nice as is the remainder of the hotel. The staff are really friendly and layed back. The room was clean and the bed was very comfortable.
