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...).

IrelandExtra costs; additional €75 taken the next day for parking, breakfast and two drinks in the bar from previous night (they wouldn't take payment at the time). Parking is in an apartment block a good 5 minutes walk from the hotel (unfortunately for us, it was raining) Location isn't really central, so also extra expense of taxis.
Nice vibe, friendly staff, delicious breakfast

Although the location was a little out of the centre of Dublin (45 min walk fr temple bar) I would stay here again as the area was lovely and I felt safe alone with my young daughter. The hotel was incredible. Rooms were amazing & the best mini bar/ snack selection I have ever seen at a hotel. Bed was super comfy & staff were so friendly. We are at Laylas rooftop terrace for breakfast & it was very reasonably priced, food was good & the views - wow! Loved everything about our stay. We will be back on our next trip to Dublin

United StatesThere was only one thing we didn't like - the mattress cover and bottom sheet did not fit the bed properly and we had to try and fix them regularly.
Happy to recommend The Devlin and we plan to stay here next time we're in Dublin. The hotel is very comfortable, clean, bright and the staff is friendly and helpful. You can't beat the location right in Ranelagh village, Layla's is a great restaurant for room service and the bath towels are nice and big!

IrelandThe rooms are quite small, but they make that clear on the website and the rooms are identical to the photos. I was on my own so plenty of room but I'd definitely book a larger room if I hadn't been.
Everything was great - the hotel is well organised, considered and gorgeous. Check-in was very smooth, they let me check in slightly early so no waiting around, though I would happily have waited in the bar, lounge or wandered around Ranelagh. Rooms are lovely and very nicely decorated with everything you need. Bar is gorgeous and the restaurant upstairs has a lovely atmosphere, great staff and the food is great. You can even get takeaway freshly made (delicious) pizza upstairs.

United Kingdomthe rooms are pretty much just a small living space. i knew it was small as I did take time to read the reviews but I didn’t expect it to be that small. our room was a double room but the space would really only have been suitable for one. we also got a room at the from of the building which I did adore the views for however even with the windows all shut, you could still hear the public at the bar just down the road and you could hear people move the bins etc.
the bed was SUPERRR comfy!! like oh my I can’t even begin to explain how comfy it was. i just curled into a ball and fell straight asleep! the room was very modern and cute which I adored, the aesthetic was very pleasing and it fitted in with the scene of the hotel. our room had loads of amenities like hair dryers etc and a very good selection of towels which was handy! the TV was right on the wall at the bottom of the bed also which made good for not having to get out of the bed to turn the switch off!!
