Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We use a weighted review system which means that the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

United KingdomThe location is perfect right on a main strip however, we were right next to a club and the street noise was really loud till about 4 am. Not the hotels fault, but it was so clear it was like they were standing in the room. Also one other thing is the hotel is super hard to find. It is a door between stores and the door don't stand out at all!!
Self Check in was easy and we really liked just getting straight to our room. The room was perfect and clean. It had a lil kitchen that offered all you need to cook yourself a meal.

United KingdomNowhere to hang your towels or put toiletries- I would recommend installing a few shelves and hooks in the bathroom. Friday and Saturday night was very noisy due to the great weather and party goers! Sep- check in and out a little impersonal..
Very centrally located. Lots of shops, bars and restaurants around. Absolutely fantastic shower and comfortable bed, good t.v channels, perfect temperature in the room and great coffee station.

United KingdomWe ordered a double room and got two single beds which was a shame. The housekeeper clearly realised we wanted a double room as on night 2 it was made up as a double bed which was such a lovely touch but it was still a shame they were two singles, not quite as romantic!
Great room for a great price, lovely coffee facilities. I liked the size, nice TV, bed comfortable.

United StatesRoom with View facing the Bastard café was RIGHT over the live nightly music. Should note that in description. Staff was very flexible in offering to move us, which we ended up not needing because our late tour return was after 11 pm end of music set.
Location was very convenient! Provided email of good instructions and photos for check in, but better signage instructions once inside the lobby would be helpful as I saw other guests with same temporary questions. First time with self-serve check in. Communication with Staff was helpful, prompt and reasonably accomodating. Appreciated the kitchenette but didnt realize It would be included in this room. Very much appreciated complimentary luggage storage as we had late departure. Everything was clean.

United Kingdom"Room with a view" is completely misleading, no view from window on room 319 except the back of the hotel and other people's windows. The room was quite warm without heating but the window did open, no issue with noise. Extra towels would be a nice touch since the rooms do not get attended to during the stay. No access to early check in or late check out.
Check in made simple by following instructions of email and text to access building and room. No waiting about in check in queues. Location very central and close to everything. Access to a locked cupboard to leave bags in if arrive early or leave late.

IrelandThe room was very small but it was sufficiently sized. We had a view of the back of a bar which wasn't lovely but it wasn't too loud, and we got to see the Northern Lights from our room!
Central location, conveniently located with plenty of dining and shopping options. The room was very comfortable and cosy. The shower was lovely too. There is also a terrace available on the fourth floor.

IrelandCheckin process was a bit of a mess - didn’t receive checkin codes for the 2 rooms we booked. Had to email and call to get this, and then do the same again for the second room. Checkin was now good and we met other guests with the same issues. Not having staff on site didn’t work the day we arrived.
Really comfortable room. Very clean and cool design. Very centrally located.
