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 KingdomOnly thing I really missed was having a small fridge. Bit of an essential to have a good supply of cold bottled water all night when you are in the home of guiness and whiskey! Our room was also at the back of the hotel, over the courtyard of the pub next door so it got a little noisy at times. Tbh that didn't bother us too much as we tend to travel with earplugs anyway. It may be that this is the difference between a standard double and a deluxe room. I couldn't see much difference in the options listed other than aircon which I didn't think would be an issue in April.
Location was great, we were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go. Teeling distillery 20 min, guiness storehouse was about 30 min. Less than 10 to the cathedral and castle. Right next door one side is a great pub called Darkey Kelly's, go early, it gets really busy, other side is a nice little breakfast cafe that opens at 8.30, great food. Hotel was spotlessly clean and the staff were super helpful. Bed was pretty comfy, ensuite was large. Shower was super powerful although it took us a while to figure out taps are not hot and cold ! FYI they are temp and throttle. Nice to have a quality coffee machine, shame the cups don't fit without removing the driptray. Small annoyance having to ask for more milk all the time, supplies seemed a little stingy.

United KingdomWe weren’t given any information (ie menu or cost) of breakfast, just that they how had it available. No information on their restaurant or bar/cafe in the room either. Just one QR code that took you to instagram. No local information, ie this booking.com review is asking about a beach!
Good central location without being in the dead centre of Temple Bar

United KingdomWalls must be thin as you can hear lots of noise from adjoining rooms. Hotel is right next to a church & the bells were ringing all hours of the night & day. Bed not the comfiest.
Good location, within walking distance of restaurants & pubs and the Temple bar area. Staff pleasant & friendly. Rooms not huge but serve a purpose. We were on the 4th floor, luckily there is a lift. Good facilities in room such as hairdryer & iron.

IrelandThe breakfast experience was very efficient and the buffet was good, coffee was lovely. All good except for the hot food which was like rubber. Particularly the beans and the fried eggs. the beans were totally dried up. i asked the server if i poached eggs were an option, she said 'no'. i asked if i could have some fresh beans and she said she would go and ask the chef. she then came back and said he was busy and it would be at least 10 minutes. i got the distinct impression there was no chef and that she was just fobbing me off. i ate my breakfast and by the time i was finished there was still no sign of the beans. i understand that they were probably trying to keep waste to a minimum but a tin of beans wouldn't break the bank!
Room was perfectly adequate and nicely quiet. location is 10 out of 10 for a city centre stay. Reception staff were extremely polite and helpful. location is perfect for city centre.
