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.).

TurkeyNot one of the worst hotel staff I have ever seen in my life, all of them. They are not helpful at all, they talk as if they are going to beat me, they know that the sockets in the beds do not work, they give me a power bank and let me go. When I wanted to change the bed or change the room, they said it was impossible. They act like it is a problem you created, even though it is their own fault in a 10-storey building. Saying that the bar in the lobby is closed, the hotel staff and their friends sit and drink for 2 hours.
Just city center

IrelandI don't know Ireland regulations but the bar closes early. I also hate that the kitchen closes early and you cannot cook food if you are late. I think the kitchen should be accessible 24/7.
I loved the and the staff. It's a clean place to be and I enjoyed the fact that you can cook your own food. I slept in a mixed, self-contained room and it was awesome.

FranceNo electricity provided in the room! To charge your devices you have to go to the lobby. And the staff refuse any change of room and said “electricity is not included in the amenities”. This is extremely inconvenient and it is not mentioned at all during booking. If I’d known I’d never book with this hostel. I feel scammed.

United KingdomUncomfortable room. Unable to open the window for fresh air. The door lock was broken on the inside so unable to lock while sleeping. We were on the 8th floor which I’m not sure whether this is the reason for loud whistling noises (sounded like a flute playing each night) coming from the bathroom, whether this was due to wind or the weather, but made it very difficult to sleep at night. Very uncomfortable mattress, thin, rock solid and couldn’t lie on them without having springs dig into you. We had one very thin pillow each, we requested two more which were brought to the room but took a long time. I understand it’s a hostel but when you pay hotel prices for a private double bedroom you expect better quality, two single mattresses pushed together to make a double which were awful quality, I’m glad we only stayed two nights, after the first we looked into a different hotel. Room was very very basic. Place to hang clothes on a rail but NO coat hangers! Arrived half an hour before check in and reception stated that the room was very dirty and still being cleaned, understandable however when arriving at the room, the cleaning standards were low and didn’t to appear to have been cleaned as recent as they said, dust and hair from other people in the bathroom and shower and on the floor which wasn’t pleasant. Two small shower towels provided with the room, however no hand towel for when you’ve been to the toilet. We expected someone to come in and change the towels between each day as there was only the one each, this never happened, not even a little clean/wipe down/make bed even though there were cleaners on the floor outside our door when leaving for the day.
Good location, close to city centre and all the pubs, slight walk to attractions but easy enough to hop on a bus or tram by the hostel if wanting to. They had lockers in the basement available to hire for €5 each to keep luggage safe when checking out, this was handy for us to be able to carry on our day before a late flight so we didn’t have to carry bags with us all day.

IrelandWe arrived an hour before we could check in and were not able to store our bags for this short period. Neither the light nor outlet in the bed worked. Staff was unserious, one joked that he didn't want to help us and his colleague said he'd check us in faster but he was hungover. Locks were 6 euro.
The location was good and the curtain around the bed was good at keeping light out.
