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.).

United StatesShower is a bit small for a plus sized person to use. particularly the shower door, it’s a bit of a squeeze getting in.
The beds are pretty comfy. The bedding isn’t the best and the top bunks are a bit difficult to climb. The property was clean and safe. The energy and vibes of the place is great. Nice daily events listed. Cleaning staff does a great job.

United StatesIt wasn’t a very inclusive environment. The staff did not facilitate travelers to mingle. The common areas became a place where travelers just stared at their phones. People aren’t naturally just going to start conversation. It is up to the staff to help their patrons break the ice.

United StatesThe beds weren't the most comfortable, but they were comfortable enough to get a full night sleep in.
The location of this hostel was perfect, just a few minute walk to the Temple Bar area. Everyone working there was very nice and helpful. It was nice being able to pay a small fee to check in early after a long night of traveling. Everything was very clean and you can't beat the price for the location.

United StatesGot a room with a “double” bed. The bed was the most uncomfortable thing. It was not even a mattress. The springs of the box spring were sticking into our back all night. And it was two twin beds pushed together. The pillows were as flat as paper. No tv in the room no cups for water. No double locks. People ran in the hallways from 1-4:30 am. Couldn’t see out the windows because they were matted out. It felt like we were in a jail cell. Had a second night booked (which they stated we couldn’t cancel) and paid for another room somewhere else. Could not deal with another night at Clink. Don’t stay here you will not get your money back and you will leave with kinks in your whole body. Also asked the reception for extra comforter and pillows but they never gave us any.

IrelandFor any reason the hostel try to create a pub atmosphere but the music is too loud from the afternoon until late hours, so is annoying if you are trying to relax in the common areas or have a deal. In my experience, the room was very closed without ventilation. It's very unconfortable knowing how many dirty people go to sleep there. The bunk bed have light and plugs but in my bed this was not worked ( I notified ).
The bathroom, rooms, lobby and common areas was cleaned. The location is in city center.
