Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 StatesIt would have been nice to have had some warning about the music at night, both live and recorded. It definitely made it difficult to have a window open at night which we would have appreciated.
Jacob's Well is a unique place with an active pub on the ground floor and rooms upstairs. There was a bit of challenging noise from music being broadcast in the garden below but as everyone was inside, they were willing to turn it off which was a great support. However, there was live music in the bar from 10:30-12:30 at night and that was a test for sleeping. But we enjoyed the staff very much and the atmosphere was very friendly and the location perfect for getting to Glendalough and later Wicklow and Dublin.

GermanyThe soundproofing of the house and that live music was also played into the night during the week.
The hosts were super nice, the location is great too. But you have to really like it. Our rooms overlooked the pub and the beer garden. There was always action in the evening, into the night, sometimes into the early hours of the morning. The house is unfortunately very noisy. Visiting a pub without driving is great. The food in the restaurant is really very good. The breakfast is freshly prepared and is tasty and sufficient. We can recommend it, but definitely pack earplugs ;o)

The two young staff members working on Saturday the 2nd of september, serving evening meals, provided great service and we're very helpful. Morning staff serving breakfast were also very friendly and attentive. We would recommend this location to anyone. Brilliant hidden gem in wicklow.

IrelandBeautifully kept and welcoming. Staff were lovely and friendly. Beds very comfortable and loads of pillows. We ate both nights in the restaurant and the food was lovely. Very clean rooms and even entry and corridors. Room was lovely and good temperature. We had a ground floor room and it was perfect. We really enjoyed our stay there and would have no hesitation in staying there again and would recommend it. Parking is only a 2 minute walk away. You can park on the street but staff recommended that we use the car park and we did this.
