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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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 StatesBreakfast was just okay, not a lot of options and okay quality; more outlets would have been nice, since they were all grouped together and not near the beds, but this may have been room-specific
Hostel staff was great; the underbed storage was an excellent option; water pressure and shower was excellent; the all-hours dining area was great for bringing back food; location was perfect for exploring Temple Bar and neighboring parts of Dublin

UruguayOne lady at the front desk who seemed to be prejudiced, there was a strong bad smell in the toilet, when I arrived back there was a man sleeping on my bed and there should be more plugs available for charging phones / laptops / electronic devises.
Majority of the staff, awesome location super convenient, super tidy overall and the storage lockers beneath the beds with the possibility of adding a padlock.

RomaniaThe room was so bright at night because of the pub, it made sleeping difficult. I expected the noise, because at the end of the day I was aware there was a pub on the ground floor but the light was something I didn't think would be an issue. I'd advise anyone who books here to get ear plugs and a sleeping mask. I also wish the mirror was closer to the electrical socket, my family and I were in town for an event and it was quite difficult to get ready when the mirror was so far from the socket.
The location is perfect, very central and within walking distance from most of the landmarks of city centre. Staff was very friendly and the breakfast was grand although quite modest. Very good price for Dublin city centre

CanadaThe included breakfast definitely left something to be desired, granted it is breakfast at a hostel, but this would be the only thing that wasn’t a 10/10 for us.
Great location, friendly and helpful staff, and simple layout with excellent security. Beds were minimalist but comfortable, and the noise from the street wasn’t terrible. Rooms and bathroom were clean, and bathroom was well stocked.

CanadaSome curtains around the beds for privacy would be a wonderful addition! The WIFI wasn't strong in the room I stayed in which wasn't great but not a deal breaker since I only stayed for a night.
I was met with friendly staff at the reception. The beds were very clean and fairly comfortable. There were also multiple bathrooms in addition to the one inside the room. The location is of course what makes this hostel a steal for the price. It is right next to the temple bar and a short walk from all the wonderful city attraction of Dublin. The malls, the sights all within a short walk!
