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...).

PolandThe object was probably wonderful some 20 years ago. Right now it needs serious work and renowation. The basics are fine and some elements have been improved, but one can see how things are being "patched up". Furniture needs serious care. In someobody's comments I read an abosultely correct information about absolute lack of fire extinguishers - whis should be taken care of.
Absolutely wonderful host. Very warm welcome and treatment. Location quite good when connected with UCC. Large room and I was on the second floor, with nice look towards green.

IrelandIt could do with a little freshen up and new, unused tablets of soap in the ensuite, but these are just really small things. Not all of the TV channels work.
Very close to CUH and UCC and within possible walking distance of restaurants and shop. It is also on a main bus route (208 from CUH). Owners are very friendly and accommodating. The room was cosy and warm and I was given a bottle of water when I arrived. I left before breakfast but it did smell really nice. Ensuite is a nice size. Shower is spacious and the water was nice and hot. They were fully booked but I didn't hear any noise from other guests. It was very quiet.

United KingdomThere was no power outlet next to the desk area. Breakfast choices a bit limited, but OK.
The Guesthouse is located right outside the UCC, which makes it very convenient for any business over there. The interior is simple, but comfortable, especially the bed, and the electric power shower was appreciated. The cooked breakfast is cooked fresh and the landlord is very hospitable and kind. It's less than 20 minutes walk to the town centre.

CanadaA few more hangers in the closet would be helpful! I personally appreciate having conditioner as well as shampoo.
The room was spacious with lots of light. The bed was very comfortable. The breakfast was substantial (including eggs to order) with lots of choice. The B&B is very close to University College Cork and has easy access to the downtown area. Reasonably priced. Michael was so kind and very helpful.

Everything I was looking for, will definitely be booking with them again. I had some coffee and soda bread and fruit for brekkie but they also offer poached eggs or a full Irish.
