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.).

Verified reviewVery central, right in the heart of the absolutely magic Temple Bar district. Minutes away from the greatest bars (and Norseman pub is downstairs featuring live music, beers and traditional dishes). A pleasantly clean room and beds. A kettle, tea and even little cookies in the room. We were able to store our bags in the bar downstairs on checkout day from 9am. It gets very loud during the night and the hotel can hardly do anything about it of course, but they left a pair of earplugs for each guest which is a very nice gesture that made us feel welcome.
This was fully according to our expectations - but yes, it gets really noisy in the night, but that's part of the deal: we chose the location nevertheless.

Verified reviewIt is in the middle of the Temple bar area. The room had a decent size, there was a great atmosphere surrounding the old historic building and an OK bar down below with friendly staff. You were literary staying at the ground zero of where everything happens in Dublin, with various entertainment venues, pubs, comedy clubs and restaurants mere meters from your doorstep. And you were in walking distance from several great attractions which is great when you are traveling on a time schedule leaving only a few days to explore Dublin.
This was by far the hotel I splashed the most money on for the entirety of my trip, during which I stayed at 5 different hotels across Ireland. I think it was expensive but not necessarily for the location. Keep in mind this is in Temple bar. Also one of the roll down window blinds were broken, the chain for closing and opening it had fallen off its little sprocket and entangled itself with the roll down curtain making it difficult to pull up and down which was needed as you wanted the view during daytime but needed the darkness to sleep.

Verified reviewWell appointed, very clean, comfortable, bathroom was a decent size and pristine. Great location for bus/tram, food, entertainment, independent shops. Rooms are at the top of the building, above the dining area, so there is no noise from the Norseman Bar.
The room has single glazing, it is in the heart of Temple Bar so be aware that there will be some noise from the street.

Verified reviewFantastic location. Great room (stayed in quad). Clean. Tea & coffee facilities available.
No mirror in the main room. Staff refused to store our luggage at check out which meant we had to take our suitcases out with us for the day as flight was not until 6pm :-(

Verified reviewPerfectly located, 50m from the Temple Bar. At your arrival, go to the bartenders, they will show you your room and how to access. They can be occupied, but they are serving the customers as well ! Can be noisy, but earplugs are offered.
