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.).

IrelandWalls are like paper, you hear every noise in other rooms, it's impossible to get a decent sleep. Also, the staff treat you like a child, extremely condescending.

UkraineSmells badly. No warm water in shower. Dirty . The chargers are in not convenient places. A lot of drunk and noisy people. It's so expensive for these conditions ...
The hostel is located in the town centre close to the railway station. Full equipped kitchen. Friendly staff.

IrelandThe room was cold, the bedsheets and pillows,duvets of very poor quality. 60e per room was too expensive for a hostel offering very little in regards to a comfortable bed and pillow. I've stayed in hostels abroad that were much cheaper but way better quality. The price of the room should be about 15e and even that's a stretch. 20e deposit per person is required in case you break anything, There is actually nothing in the room so i don't know what that deposit is required for . The staff are nice, that's probably the best thing about this hostel Parking is also very limited

IrelandThe bunk beds had no ladder to get to the top bunk. I had to step on the bottom bed to get to the top bed. Coming down meant that all I could do was slip off the top bunk and land on the ground.
It was really close to Killarney town centre! Probably no more than a three minute walk.

IrelandThe toilet smelt like pee and there was chocolate squashed on the duvet cover, which makes me wonder if either had been cleaned/washed. I still think that soap and a hand towel should be provided when you have an en suite. The beds were lumpy and the pillows were flat. The shower heat settings were round the wrong way. Blue for hot, red for cold.
The room was much better than last time 🙂 There was a ladder for the bunk bed and the curtains weren't hanging off of the rail. It was reasonably priced especially when other places put up their prices just because it was for New Years.

IrelandI would not come back…. we stayed in a four bed room two couples and had a group of 12 young guys in the room next to us and another across the hall. before 5pm they were all shouting walking around in there underwear in the halls between rooms and playing music off a speaker! we mentioned to the receptionist, at 3am they all came in shouting and sounded like they were playing hockey in the room they were so loud we could not sleep had to go to the receptionist again and he came up telling them to be quiet. but sure then at 4am a group of girls came in banging doors screaming a girls name and trying to get into the lads room. I understand a hostel is going to be a bit loud but this was just crazy, two of my friends had to go for a walk at 4am because they couldn’t sleep with them and sat in the car for most the night for any change to get some sleep. i have never been so disappointed in a place

IrelandI've stayed in a lot of places and never felt the need to write a review, I'm really not a fussy person, but I am doing so now just to help people avoid this place. The staff were rude. The lady at reception has no manners at all. Don't care to go into detail. Seems to be a lot of homeless people or heroin addicts being accommodated there so if you do decide to stay in this place DO NOT get a dorm bed. The sheets and beds are dirty and the room smells to the point of it being difficult to sleep.. I think it's anti-mould paint or bleach or something. It's rotten. I booked a private room and honestly didn't even feel safe leaving my belongings in there, I left them in my car before I went into the town, but If you book a dorm room or travelled by train, god help you. I paid 60 euro.. cheapest place in Killarney for the day I needed to be there but hardly worth 10 euro even. Just do yourself a favour and pay a bit more for literally anywhere else. There are about 4 or 5 parking spaces and if they are full they are not going to help you. I think this place should be closed down.
