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.).

IrelandBathroom had only bath with shower mounted in the wall and ceiling sloped under an angle. With my height of 185cm I could barely walk in to the bath. Also having shower in actual bath was really unusual in these times. Haven't seen that in ages. We also lacked a bathroom mat after you step out of the shower. We used couple of towels for that, but I feel that 4 star residence should have those in bathroom. Shower head was also quite lose and I was worried it might come out of the wall. Room wasn't as bright and "flooded" with light as on the picture and I feel bit of a Photoshop was employed before uploading the picture.
Ariel House is in very nice area of Dublin, Ballsbridge. Street this property is on has only Victorian style houses with mature trees along the road. House is only a stone throw from Aviva stadium and so is ideal for stay if you are attending the gig there. One of the nicest areas of the House was the common area with large couches, board games(chess, cards...), complimentary tea/coffee and honesty bar. Really comfy and relaxing. Our luxury family room was at ground floor. It was spacious enough, with big and comfy beds, smart TV, armchairs, coffee table, storage cupboard & kettle. Sight from either of the windows wasn't the most appealing as bay window was overlooking the parking area, blocked by mature bush tree. However, this was a good thing, I suppose, because if it weren't there, our privacy would suffer a lot, and everyone would see us in the room. The other, small window, was overlooking House service area. Breakfast were fulfilling and very tasty. They have a menu of about 10 breakfast dishes and then buffet on cereals, fruits, yoghurt, cheeses, pastries & chilled drinks. Overall a very good 9/10

ItalyThe bed is too small for two adults, I would provide all rooms with king-size beds.
Amazing breakfast and staff, very nice Victorian house, completely renovated and close to the Lansdowne Road Station, 20-minute walk to the city center. The free coffee is a plus, as well as the breakfast choice (both at buffet and a la carte). Definitely recommended if visiting Dublin, good quality for money compared to other hotels in Dublin, free parking if you come by car.

United KingdomThe rooms in the extended flat roof area that protrudes into the garden are a little dated. I would guess this was built in late 70s or early 80s and the rooms themselves are a little dated, yet still clean.
The property location, kerb appeal with nice Georgian frontage, front lounge and dining are exceptional. There is an honesty bar in the front room which is a really great touch. Kudos to whoever thought of that. Lastly, the breakfast is exceptional. Never thought I'd say that but genuinely something for everyone - cooked breakfast for the Irish/English yet refined, yoghurts, fruit, granola, irsih bread of the highest quality for the continentals - and all cooked or prepared to the highest standard. Location is great, in a leafy part of south Dublin, walkable to Stephen's Green, Trinity, Lansdowne Road, Ballsbridge etc. Walkable to the sea at Sandymount even, which is a lovely little walk

United KingdomOur bathroom was looking very tired and needs some attention. Shower door needs replacing, floor tiles are cracked/grout missing, extractor doesn’t work and toilet flush isn’t working properly. As the house is very old the floor boards are very creaky and noisy. The people in the room above us seemed to be reenacting river dance every night and early morning. Dining area very cramped.
Lovely location, beautiful property, very nice staff. An honesty bar in the drawing room and lovely home made cakes was a nice touch. Good quality well cooked food, hats off to the kitchen staff and dining room staff.

Clean, large room, nice decor, exceptional breakfast. I would stay again.
