Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 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 was fantastic an very welcoming. Very attentive and happy to help. The food was beautiful, even though I got to only try their breakfast. It was still lovely. The rooms were spotless an very warm and cosy

United KingdomFor the price £400 + for 2 night stay (bed only) felt it was very expensive. Needs a bit of a make over - carpets dirty, walls in need of fresh coat of paint, windows dirty!! Very dark corridors & rooms due to dark paint colour choice - I would have expected more for the money we paid.
Near to venue at Botanic Gardens where we were attending an event - therefore just a short walk

United KingdomThe lift wasn’t working on Wednesday and the staff assured us that it was going to be fixed. It still wasn’t working on Friday when we left. Also the safe in the rooms don’t work.
In a great part of Belfast, near the Botanical Gardens and university. Plenty of places to eat nearby. You can buy tickets for the red sightseeing bus at reception, a 10 minute walk to the university stop, to catch it. Nice touch in the room, cartons of water, ear plugs, toiletries, shower caps, toothbrush and toothpaste. Lovely bar and food available.

United KingdomThe room even with the curtains open has barely any light with all the lights on, very dull. We had to go to reception to ask for toilet roll as we didn't have any in our room when we checked in. We were given an accessible room which we hadn't booked which was fine but the bathroom door being a sliding one and it had no lock and the door wouldn't completely close and I could be seen on the toilet from the gap in the door, was embarrassing.
The staff were super friendly

United KingdomThe bathroom had a problem with the drains and was very smelly. The room was adequate but not as good as I hoped for the money I paid. The neighbouring flats can see straight in to the bedroom so I had to keep the curtains closed, and there was barely enough light to read a book, I had to slip the lampshade off the sidelight
Location is fantastic and the bar area comfortable with great decor and atmosphere. Breakfast was excellent but could have been included in the price. Staff were very cheerful and helpful

IrelandThe place is highly overpriced. The room was quite basic, with some paint patches on the walls and no central lighting. It's so loud that you can feel the room shaking. If you're looking for a quiet place to stay, this isn't it.
The bar looks impressive, making the place unique and catchy. The hotel rooms are stylish and well-equipped, with a coffee machine, bottles of water, earplugs, etc.

IrelandI know it was a bank holiday weekend and it was the Sunday of the Marathon, however we kept getting moved in the bar before we were due to leave for our train. I recommend maybe putting down reserved signs on the tables that are reserved, and if you move a group from one reserved table and see them going to sit at another (as it has no reserved signs) maybe inform them before they sit down, order a round of drinks and then are drinking their drinks that that table is also in fact reserved. Now the manager who came to tell us was extremely lovely and nice to deal with.
Stand out for me was the check in staff were so helpful and really friendly! Nothing seemed like a bother for them when asked, which was great and really welcoming. Especially Jodie from start to finish was so helpful! All the staff were actually great and friendly when dealing with them. The hotel bar is stunning and great drinks & food ! A really great stay so thank you all.
