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 KingdomCreaky bunk, felt like I was disturbing others every time I rolled over. Wallpaper coming off wall (maybe ripped by a previous occupant?), could do with replacing.
Warm welcome, friendly staff, spacious, clean, comfortable. Had a 4 bed female dorm on the top floor, lovely room mates, good facilities. Would be happy to stay again.

IrelandRooms are crammed with bunks, as all big city hostels are. But everything else makes up for it. Check in security crosses the line with civil liberties. Maybe chill out with taking photos without asking, you already took a scan of my passport and a copy of my bank card. Pretty sure it’s all in breach of GDPR and possibly illegal. I’ve noted Dublin hostels are full with IPA guests, but if you don’t want IPA people staying, just tell them the truth that you’re a tourist/backpackers hostel for tourists/backpackers/weekenders. Simple.
Like its sister hostel Abigails, Ashfield is a really, really, really good backpackers. Staff here are great. Excellent door security and for a hostel so big, it was super clean. New kitchen facilities.

A very good option to stay if you want to be near the main atractions, the Trinity College, Temple Bar, busses to Moher or the aiport. The personal always super friendly. Second time I stay there and I will repeat if I ever go back.

SwitzerlandAll was good. It is not modern, but for a couple of nights stay it is perfect. I just slept in my room, took a shower and the rest of the time I spent in the city. I didn’t use the kitchen, so I can not say anything about that. You need a lock to be able to safe your belongings safely under the bed. They can be also bought in the reception area. Lockers are available for a great price.
The location is perfect. I could walk to almost everywhere by foot. The neighborhood had a vivid nightlife as well, which I liked and I still felt safe. Dublin express stops also 2 minutes walk from the hostel.

France- Shower space: Showers are somewhat cramped and it’s challenging to close the doors. - Lack of intimacy: Adding a curtain to the bed could enhance privacy and comfort.
- Localisation: Extremely central; everything is within walking distance. For example, you'll reach the whiskey museum, Trinity College, and Temple Bar in less than a 5-minute walk. - Staff members: The staff is exceptionally friendly, welcoming, and always ready to assist with efficient responses to your queries. - Kitchen: Well-organized and tidy with a plethora of equipment available. - Cleanliness: Common areas are consistently well-maintained. Rooms and bathrooms are regularly cleaned.
