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.).

IrelandFacilities dated. The bed was like sleeping on a plank it was so hard!. The room I was in seemed more like a doss house than a hostel for travellers, which was a pity as it could be a fine facility with a little attention. 🤔
Location & price! Very central to everything in killarney.

United KingdomBathroom was a bit moldy. And the room location did not allow for good fresh air, so I had a hard time speeding with how musty it felt. The small fan was not enough
Location was good, and I ended up having a room entirely to myself so that was a nice treat

United KingdomAccommodation was very basic, room was small for a family of 4 but we knew this from reading past reviews. No individual lights only main light so if a child went to sleep early then once that light was off had to use phone torch to see!!! Given a very flat pillow but at least bedding was clean. Bathroom very basic, no towels and shower mouldy. Kitchen wasn’t kept particularly clean. Food even though was labelled went missing and the fridge was full of rotten/off food & dirty. Not enough cutlery or cooking space/hobs for number of people staying. Washing up liquid was watered down and the towels to dry weren’t clean.
Beds were comfy & location was good for town and grocery store short walk away.

IrelandThe room was stifling, really terrible ventilation
No brecky, the place was fine, perfect for passing through. It was hilariously bad, but I enjoyed it. I’d probably be back. The ultimate quirky hostel, if not a bit freaky, but in a good way. For the price, I’m just happy I had somewhere to go

FranceThe bathroom was smelly. The kitchen was not clean: dirty fridges, only burned pans, 1 sink working over 2 for the entire hostel, kitchen cupboards containing abandoned food. Furthermore, we were woken up by the night receptionist who was speaking extremely loudly at 3.30 am. When I asked him to speak quieter he told me he would be long. He continued speaking loudly and didn't seem to feel sorry.
The hostel is well situated, there are plenty of tables to eat. There are lots of things to do around. The day receptionist was helpful.

IrelandThe beds are very uncomfortable, no bedside lights, no plugs, showers were poor, the place is generally dirty. The light didn't work. It beat camping in the rain though and was cheaper than camping. Particularly annoying on the Friday night, night porter ignored insanely high noise levels. Was awake all night and the following day I was quickly dismissed and was told well tonight will probably be worse. It was comical.
The location was very good

BelgiumVery noisy hostel, you can literally understand a conversation in the room next door. There have been works with drills in the corridor starting as soon as 8 AM and lasting all day long during my stay. I understand that facilities always need maintenance, but why the hell has it to start so early? You have to PAY to put your luggage in safety, first time for me after ten hostels or so booked over a few years across Europe. And then there is that everlasting fat smell in the kitchen...
The hostel is ideally located in the town...
