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...).

The staff were amazing and super friendly! They gave us a warm welcome and it was clear that they genuinely care about their guests. They also gave us recommendations for food spots in town and even gave us different travel routes/ hike trails to follow during our stay in Dingle for St. Patrick's weekend. When leaving the hostel to go to our restaurant booking in Danno's Restaurant & Bar, staff even shared their favourite dishes, notably the smoked salmon risotto....which was amazing btw!!! The beds were super comfy and the warm shower was great! Can't find better....especially not for the same price! My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed our comfortable stay in The Grapevine Hotel and will definitely be using it again upon our return to Dingle!

BrazilEvery thing are okay, the staffs are very confused, looks like nobody don’t know any information. The guy are so rude, we wake up at 8:30 am to check out and we didn’t saw any staff in commum areas we call to someone and he ask me to knock the door. We know many times and nobody answer, at the final he wake up and at that moment he was rude with us. We was just waiting to get back our deposit. And come on guys 30 euros EACH person for deposit? At this time we was 30 minutes late.

IrelandThis is important. The hostel has zero safety features. No keys for the room doors they are left open and no lockers at all in rooms. Incredible in a modern day hostel. You simply need lockers or security deposit boxes. Also the hostel can be very cold with heating off which it ALWAYS is. If they introduced lockers for possessions and actually turned on the heating (even once!) It would greatly improve the Hostel. Dingle despite being beautiful is beside the ocean and does get cold so returning from the cold to a freezing cold hostel is far from ideal!
Clean homely nice hostel. It's clean and easy going. Nice kitchen for cooking
