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...).

IrelandThe kitchen facilities are a little lacking for the number of people - one sink, one oven, one microwave but 2 fridges. More would ease the queues in the kitchen at peak eating times.
Location is central, the rooms are clean, warm and comfortable. Very handy for the bus terminal and for the city centre sights Staff friendly, tour booking desk is helpful for organising day trips

New ZealandI think there was a school group of teenage boys staying. They were being very rowdy hanging out in the hallway til late hours. Not the facilities fault but maybe discourage loitering in the halls and socialising outside others rooms who are trying to sleep
Great location behind the church. Place was well maintained and cleaned regularly. Loved having access to free coffee. Good value for money. Good security too. Need key card to access rooms

TurkeyKitchen was fully equipped, which is a big pro for budget traveling in Iceland. Staff was very friendly. It was also very clean and comfortable. Although there weren't any lockers for backpacks, there were safes with passwords for keeping the valuable items safe. I fully recommend the Baron's hostel for solo travelers.

United KingdomMattress wasn't the most comfortable for me and the bunks were the classic metal variety that were noisy every time you moved. I would have appreciated a mirror in the room.
Great location, good communication prior to arrival. My 4-bed dorm was a decent size. Lots of information available on things to do. Showers were hot and powerful. Generally seemed well looked after and clean.

United StatesThere weren’t luggage lockers in my room, one of the other guests was using all of the lock boxes, and the overhead light got turned on every time someone came home. More soft, ambient lighting for night time would have improved my experience.
The property was secure, centrally located, and my room was locked with a keypad.
