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.).

IrelandVery hip hotel with a chill comfortable bar area & coffee dock downstairs for reading, rooftop restaurant with views over the city, and tiny bedrooms with huge bed and every inch considered. Great friendly staff. I think there’s an art deco style cinema in the basement.

GermanyYou need to give a deposit, and I was not aware of this in the reservation.
The location of the hotel is great. It is very easy to reach all the highlights in Dublin by tram or bus. There are also a lot of options for restaurants and coffee shops in the same street, even a laundry service.

United StatesThere wasn’t much that I didn't like overall. The only issue with the room in which I stayed was the absence of a closet or any place to hang your clothes. The quarters would certainly be extremely tight for more than one person.
The Devlin is truly of the boutique category. Very charming decor. It'll give you the feeling of an old movie theater, which I might add there is a movie theater on the premises. The lobby restaurant serves up some delicious treats for breakfast and lunch during the day and becomes quite a lively social scene at night, complete with live musical performances. The Italian rooftop restaurant, with its beautiful views, is a delightful dinner option. There are probably 80 rooms across 2 floors. The rooms are cozy and equipped with a snack shelf and fully stocked minibar. The entire staff is friendly and helpful and does their best to make your stay as comfortable as possible. If you're thinking of staying here, be advised that it's a short light rail ride to the Dublin city limits. The neighborhood is safe and has an array of restaurants and pubs that are in easy walking distance from the hotel. The hotel is about a 40-minute taxi ride from the Dublin Airport, as well as an express bus from the city.

United KingdomThe room was extremely small and there was nowhere to properly unpack clothes into, the bed was in an alcove with only one edge to get out of meaning I had to climb over my husband to get out of bed- not easy when you’re a bit older and trying to get out in the night without disturbing the other half!
Great location, clean and staff friendly and helpful
