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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

Australiamattress in my bunk was literally so bad, it was like a sack of springs. luckily it was also BOILING hot upstairs in the dorms so i could use my duvet as my bottom sheet to make the bed comfy. it was literally so so hot in our room i was SWEATING anytime i was the halls or my room - even with the windows open. bag storage was also a bit awkward when you have a top bunk but can make it work
good spot in the centre of the city. bar/cafe area was cool but i never saw anyone else in there. cafe served great coffee! the whole place was super clean and tidy, often saw cleaners wandering around and bathrooms were monitored regularly. curtains!! i love curtains!!

AustriaI stayed in a shared room which at one point there was a couple there that decided to have sex in the middle of the night whilst other 10 people were trying to sleep in the room. The experience was horrible and creepy, I would never stay in another shared room as this was completely disrespectful and characterizes as sexual harassment. I felt very uncomfortable and bothered.
Rooms and bathroom were generally clean. Lounge area to relax.

United StatesThe bed was insanely uncomfortable; it felt like I was sleeping on a box spring. I had to make my own bed.. many hostels do this and I hate it every time, especially making a bed in a bunk. Also, had to pay for a towel. Always nice when that’s included but rare these days, sadly. I chose a mixed dorm but other than the first night I was the only female for the remainder of the time; would have been nice if it was more “mixed.” The bathroom in the room itself wasn’t cleaned once arriving so it got pretty gross. The public bathroom down the hall was out of toilet paper for two days in both stalls. They don’t seem to tell people about manners.. though they of course can’t control what people do I had super loud roomies the entire time and partiers next door.
The location is near the city center, the rooms are generally nice and mostly clean. I stayed in a 6 bedroom mixed room. The bunk has a curtain, net for belongings, shelf, hooks, plugs, and a light which are all great.

United KingdomWe would definitely stay again! Rooms & toilets were spotless! Beds were comfortable, we had our own private room with 5 of us staying. Staff were all lovely and welcoming, while we were waiting for our taxi we played cards of humanity 😀 they have a good selection of games to play. Temple bar is a short walk and other bars close by. Definitely recommend bad ass pub for live music, and the church for food.

FranceI m not exageratimg by saying that my room that I paid 130 euros per night for was a prison cell... No tv, no chair, no curtain or way to really create darkness, small room, small bathroom, sink and tap way too low, sink so small that water was splashing around, floor not so clean and scratched and old, value for money was a disaster. Not even possibility to leave a luggage on the day of your checkout UNLESS PAYING 7 EUROS for this "service"... a disgrace
The location was good and the mattress/blanket of the bed was standard

FranceNothing in particular to complain about, except for the price, which was quite high for a hostel (though still in line with other options in that area of Dublin)
I had a fantastic stay at this hostel! It’s located just a short walk from the city center, making it super convenient for exploring Dublin without being in the middle of all the noise. The place is really well-organized, with clean and comfortable rooms. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making the whole experience even better. The hostel bar is a great spot to unwind with a drink, and the food was surprisingly good for hostel dining, tasty and reasonably priced. Overall, it's a perfect mix of good vibes, great location, and solid amenities. Highly recommend!
