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...).

IrelandI know it’s an old building but all the stairs were a pain with no lift in the property. Lack of parking facility is inconvenient too because parking on the seafront is so limited, we had to park one street back and bring luggage around. Booked a double room but it was tiny, felt more like a single with a double bed put into it and it was 3.5 flights of stairs up.

IrelandCorridors need updating, but that’s not a major problem. Downstairs bar/restaurant was a bit loud but the upstairs was much quieter.
Staff exceptional. Wonderful location and the Mussels in white wine, garlic and leeks I would go back for.

United KingdomAs mentioned in other reviews you can hear noise from the night club, the solution party till closing time.Our window opened onto the court yard where the extract kicked in during the night. Shower was luke warm.
The breakfast was best I have ever had in hotel, the overall hotel had great vibe for a girly weekend. The staff were friendly , clean and tidy . For short weekend having fun with friends location and facilities could not be better. We would return.

United KingdomLove this hotel as it's near my mums nursing home and I travel from UK to visit her. More of a recommendation than a dislike .... If booking.com asks age of guests would this help the hotel reception staff to put folk over the clubbing scene age on a floor higher up than floor 1 as floor 1 the nightclub music is in the room full blast until 4am fri and Sat
Two every different experiences. First was with my family booked apartment four of us 2 children was great apartment room and located somewhat further from the full on noise as sound of DJ yes noise but not excessive was not too bad at all . It was an excellent stay . Loved it Second visit... room very close to the night DJ events and I'm over the clubbing scene stage lol 😂 but we understood the venue does mention late DJ events The rooms for the near 50,s over 50's if asked aged when booking or through booking.com could help reception staff look at room availability a bit higher up than 1st floor...just an observation/ recommendation. We enjoyed the staff engagement, the service, the food It's an absolutely gem of a hotel. My visits are due to hotel being within walking distance to my mums nursing home as I travel from UK to see my mum .
