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 KingdomOur room was directly over the generator, which gave off a lot of sound but it turned off/ got quieter later on in the night.
Was very clean, and spacious. The staff were friendly and the overall look of the hotel was exceptional.

IrelandI had upgraded my room on booking.com to a suite unfortunately the hotel knew nothing about this which was both awkward and unresolved. The receptionist could have managed this situation better, was told I was getting a free upgrade to a River view however, I paid the same as my friend who booked a River view room. Bit disappointing.
The view from the room was amazing, the room was clean and the beds were comfy! The hotel overall is very clean and modern!

IrelandHad to pay for our entire stay twice because of a problem with their card system. The full amount of our stay was deducted from my Revolut account at reception on arrival, however I was told that the amount didn’t go through, even though I could clearly see that it had. And I showed them that on my phone. In order to be able to check in to our room, I had to pay the full amount again with a different card, with no way of getting back the first 500 into my Revolut. It was my 40 birthday weekend. We’d been looking forward to it for a long time. Very disappointed that at check out, the issue hadn’t been resolved. Other guests had the same experience. No resolve as of yet. No management. No one had a clue. It really took the goodness out of what should have been a great few days.

United KingdomThe attitude of charging us when it was impossible for us to stay there because those bikes are our only mode of transport whilst in Ireland
We went to the hotel desk to check if our electric bikes could go somewhere safe and they established they could put them somewhere safe so we were forced to cancel and they have taken all the money off me I am very upset as all the could offer was outside the hotel at the front or a public underground cat park not acceptable

United KingdomWe were very disappointed, starting with our family room not being ready at 5pm, then finding out the room is very dated, and looks absolutely nothing like the one on website, carpet not hoovered with crumbs, filthy windows, etc Breakfast was OK but I hope those dry 5 slices of cheese have been replaced with some fresh, edible choice of cheese. We unfortunately left our toiletries bag with our toothbrushes in the room. The communication from the hotel was shocking, totally not interested, they could not care less. We will not be staying in Radisson Blue ever again.
