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...).

United KingdomI was pleased to find a turntable and some vinyl records in our room - unfortunately neither were in full working order - a nice idea but not well executed.
Had a very enjoyable two night stay at the Twelve. Room was spacious and comfortable. Restaurants good - excellent dinner at West - with friendly efficient service. We had to leave to early for breakfast service and were provided with take out coffee which was a nice touch.

IrelandOther than the restaurant manager, the rest of the staff wasn’t very friendly. First staff to greet us didn’t ask anything just immediately asked us to pay. No smiles or greeting. Also waitresses ill informed about the menus. Burger was too greasy had to return it. Risotto was lovely. We asked did the bread and butter pudding have raisins, waitress said no, it came with raisins. Our drinks took over 20 minutes to arrive so we couldn’t get them before eating. Piece of burger and chips was on the floor by my feet when we sat down. Toilet in bedroom had a stale sewage smell that wouldn’t go away unless we opened all the windows and kept door closed.
Bedroom was lovely, and the location and decor was very nice. Breakfast was good.

IrelandRooms have tiny hallways outside them so if another family is going into their room you will hear them very loudly. Wooden floor in this hallway doesn’t help, probably makes it echo even more. The food was fine but not at all what I was expecting for the price!!! My god, very mediocre. Wouldn’t stay again solely for this reason, the noise you can get over because at the end of the day there are other guests. But the food was pretty normal and with those prices I was expecting much better quality.
Hotel is nice, beds were unbelievably comfortable.

IrelandFeel extremely mislead by our restaurant experience. At no point were we made aware of what kind of dinning experience the West Restaurant was offering that night. Hotel rang me 2 days before arrival & I booked dinner in the restaurant, the menu was to be emailed to me but this did not happen. We went to dinner and the 1st course was just served to table when we realised it was not our cup of tea and there was no choice on the menu. We felt it was too late to leave and continued with the dining experience. Water with the meal was charged for, we were not made aware of this and not asked when subsequent bottles of water were just brought to the table either. Ended up paying over 150 as a couple for this set tasting menu.
Room was class, good value for money and the breakfast food was excellent.
