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.).

South AfricaBreakfast quality could be a little better (the selection however is vast).
Excellent service by the front desk, room service and housekeeping. We did the afternoon high tea which was delicious accompanied by friendly and efficient staff. Beautiful decor, enhanced very tastefully for the festive season. Room was well equipped and spacious with ample storage and some great detailed touches.

United KingdomThey said the menu in the restaurant was overpriced. there was no option to order à la cart restaurant. The hotel is slightly overpriced.
Truely 5 star hotel. Nice clean facility with with amazing deco. Exceptional Service. Great location in the city centre. Comfortable bed and large rooms. The pool and sauna are not overcrowded and do not need prior booking to use it.

IrelandSlightly uneven service from staff… marvellous service for dinner in Saddle Room. Erratic service at breakfast… frazzled staff. Getting a fresh cup of coffee proved difficult and comical in certain ways. I was unhappy that no one cleared away my one plate or removed the extra table setting. I had to ask! ( Christmas Day … I’m a bereaved woman dining alone.) That’s picky but this is a five star hotel.
Beautiful historic location. Stylish hotel. Lovely decor and accommodation beautifully presented.

United KingdomAlthough the room was well appointed, the position wasn't great...thank goodness we weren't there in the summer with the Terrace Bar being right outside our window. The room was very hot...& no way of altering the heating/ air-con, on a very mild November weekend! Problems checking in...didn't have my reservation, but had our friends, strange as I booked them both !
Lovely hotel. Stayed at another 5* hotel in Dublin last time & this exceeded that visit. Breakfast was excellent. The staff serving were brilliant, especially on the first morning. And food in the restaurant was great..staff again were excellent.

IrelandI felt the bedroom could have been better for the price of it. Now it was spotless and very comfortable and spacious but felt that shower in the bath even tho it was a power shower should have been separate. Other than this the bedroom was lovely and using all the elemis products.
Breakfast was absolutely delicious. A bit overpriced but a great menu and great buffet and staff were so so friendly

United KingdomThe room was very cold and though we turned the heating fully up it didn’t seem to warm up. it was cold enough for us to be shivering unfortunately.
The hotel is beautiful and special. I’d stayed a few years ago on a press trip and really wanted to go back so very happy that I was able to do so and to bring my daughter for her first trip to Dublin.
