Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomFantastic, second visit this year to the River Lee. It's not just the decor of the River Club, but the employees. It wouldn't be fair not to mention them, especially Titas and Catarina. And a special thank you to the Spanish waitress from the Canaries who went above and beyond on my birthday. Thank you to you all.

Room was modern and elegant. Loved that we could stream Netflix from our iPad to the room TV. Spacious, clean bathroom. In room amenities excellent. Standard size room was larger than expected. Hotel is like a boutique hotel. Front desk staff incredibly attentive and helpful. Would stay here every time we are in Cork. Best hotel we stayed at while traveling in Ireland.

United KingdomWas put in a room above the gym so loud music was thumping on the first night and early morning. This was rectified after I alerted the staff, though I could still hear the odd banging sounds of equipment now and again but I suppose that can't be helped. A minor point: I usually place my toiletries out neatly in the bathroom, but the house keepers shifted them to one side during their cleaning and didn't put them back. I'd rather they leave them alone and not wipe the shelf they are on given I'm rather ocd about it but I let this pass.
Very clean and comfortable. High class establishment. Food and service was excellent. Breakfast was one of the best I've had. Service staff were very attentative and helpful. Room was good in spite of location.

SpainThis is not so much a dislike as a couple of constructive criticisms. Upon check in the front desk people told us NOTHING about amenities (bar, restaurant, terrace, pool, fitness center etc). This hotel offers so much!! It would have been nice to know. Also we were entitled to the executive lounge and they said nothing! We only found out because we were nosey. As far as the physical hotel, it could be greatly improved by replacing the carpets especially in the hallways. They were patched in places and needing to be patched in others.
The location is perfect. Walking distance to city center and UCC. The lobby is pretty and the bar and its terrace is great—and both so well decorated. Also the food at the bar was great (would lead me to believe the restaurant was as good). The bar manager, Camilla and servers, Guillermo and Rueben were fantastic. The beds and pillows are wonderful. The towels are fluffy. The rooms are very spacious and some have views of the river or green space behind the hotel. Only some look at the apartments next door-but you still see a slice of river. Lots of good hangout areas as well. The housekeeping staff was magnificent. Their turn down was 5 star worthy! Complete with a tea kettle and hot cocoa packets.

IrelandThe public areas were lovely and modern, staff were very attentive and friendly. Location was a great bonus too, less than 10min walk into the city centre. Room was clean and housekeeping changed our towels and bedsheets for our 2nd night when we hung up the sign. We had lunch in the hotel and that was nice too.

United States of AmericaThe hotel is beautiful and inviting. The folks at the front desk were helpful and eager to make our stay enjoyable. We did not eat at the onsite restaurant as it seemed more upscale than we wanted but easily found options within walking distance. Rooms were clean with comfortable beds. We would definitely recommend this hotel.

IrelandI think it’s a bit not right play the game with the price for the weekend because the same room you can get for 170-190€ for another day. 324€ it’s too much for this hotel (breakfast wasn’t included) Our room was nice but breakfast wasn’t good enough (Don't order the shakshuka 😉. Never again). And the biggest problem in this hotel it’s a swimming pool. The shower in the public zone was broken. There was a strong smell of chlorine also. Kids 7 years old (boys) women's changing room. The girl at the swimming pool reception was just little lower is more than enough. (I understand it’s hard job maybe and she was tired but maybe no need to look for customers like they are annoying things). So, again: the hotel is good. But swimming pool zone needs to change. No for the 324€ per night, sorry. public bathhouse😉
We had a big and comfortable room with a good view. It was nice and cozy. The staff at the hotel is very 👌 nice. We had a good time

It’s a lovely modern hotel within easy walking distance to the city. Check in was so easy having been able to complete it online the night before. Maeve at check in was exceptionally friendly and professional, which added to the experience. Room was super spacious, and the beds so comfortable. Bath with separate shower was very convenient too. Highly recommended the hotel. Pool area very calm and welcoming too.
