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...).

Italy- it smelled like toilet in the entire building - the toilet experience was disturbing (some tiles behind the WC were missing and it smelled a lot + bathroom door couldn’t be locked with a handle—-> the entire room started smelling like toilet) - there is no surface to put objects on, besides two small plastic stool and we were 3 people sleeping - the linen lying on bed where plenty of dust - the staff was annoyed by some easy requests we made
location top, comfy beds, common living room

PanamaEmployees seem to know nothing or very little about Dublin and how to advice tourists. Also, I didn't like all the teenagers vibe the whole places has but that's just my opinion. I understand mostly young people would stay in a place like this.
I liked that people really tried to keep it quiet. Even when it's mostly young people who goes to party, they respect the sleeping hours of who don't go out at night. Also, it's a pretty good location, quiet area, near bus stops, train station. Not necessarily in the middle of all the pubs and party.

United StatesLimited amount of bathrooms per people, had to go to other floors for toilets a few times. Because the bathrooms were so busy, they were pretty dirty by the end of the day and lacked toilet paper.
Nice bunks, decent location, lots of space in the room. Large common areas to hangout in.

United KingdomCoffin like sleeping facilities (bed was a box with a small cut out for air - closed in spaces)- if you are Claustrophobic will have an issue, plus little to no air flow. Bathrooms/toilets had no locks and no Toilet paper- much nicer ones one floor down. Can be very loud as all sound echo's- so someone on the phone in the hallway at 4am can be heard as if they are sitting beside you (even with earplugs!) no luggage storage options in the room
Great central location, at the heart of Dublin. In a quiet neiboughood, well stocked kitchen, good WIFI, easy to find and close to most tour pickup locations. Comfy beds, liked that there was sink in the room

PortugalI went on St. Patrick’s, so I really cannot say it was worth the price since it was a pretty expensive stay probably related to the date. My room was on the third floor and there are no elevators, so consider there is a bit of a climb. You cannot regulate the shower temperature and it is set to hell level hot, it was a bit of torture showering. The bathrooms are also pretty far away from the rooms. There are lockers in the beds but you must bring your own padlock.
The hostel is located in a good spot a couple minutes away from O’Connell street, you can get to the city center and Temple Bar in 10-15 walking. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The hostel is pretty clean. The social areas are cool and comfortable. They will keep your luggage for you. The beds have curtains, which is pretty neat - it gives you privacy and helps when other peeps need to turn on the lights and you want to sleep.
