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.).

IrelandAlthough the rooms were minimal and we were in very close quarters, the beds were very comfy and everything was very clean. Overall we had an amazing time there and the vibe of the place made our getaway. Great for any type of stay.

GermanyIt was pretty cold the whole time and the heating didn't work. I booked a single room and there was really nothing in there. If there were just a couple of things changed, it could be a lot more comfortable (like towels to dry your hands after using the toilets). There was nothing to put your stuff on in the showers except for two hooks. After all it's a hostel though and you can definitely stay there and have a good time.
It's just a short walk to Dingle and you got a great view on the way. The bed was very comfortable and everybody was really nice. I didn't use the kitchen, but from what i've seen it looked good. Was pretty big and seemed to have everything you need.

United KingdomThe showers weren't too good - you had to brave the cold water to press the button several times before getting hot water. Nowhere to put things - very basic. Could have done with plugs in the sinks to wash clothes, and a couple of hand dryers in the toilets.
Very friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Well equipped kitchen. Interesting people from all parts of the world. Allowed dogs - family atmosphere. Comfortable beds and nice rooms - definitely a good base for exploring Dingle peninsular.

AustraliaThe mattress in our private double room really needs updating as it wasn’t very comfortable. Showers are mixed gender (not usually a problem with us), however the doors aren’t full length, so it was a little uncomfortable in a busy hostel.
Friendly and caring staff, Phil (I think!) was very helpful and ensured we had a comfortable stay, despite other guests making too much noise on our first night. Great location and facilities, wifi also worked well in our room and common areas. The hostel also has a big outdoor seating area at the back and plenty of space for campers. We liked that it attracted a travellers crowd rather than partners.

United StatesThe hostel gets loud when it is full and there are children running around, that only happened later in the evening. The bathroom and the shower room is all co-ed so that may not be something everyone is comfortable with.
This hostel is in a quiet and beautiful setting! The welcoming staff was friendly, the hostel is spacious with many spots to hang out. Our room was for 3 people so it was plenty spacious and was located on the backside so generally quiet.
