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 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 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 KingdomWish there was a hand towel in the room, found it odd that they aren't in the rooms as standard. Bath towels I get that you can hire/bring your own, but hand towels after using the bathroom would be ideal.
The staff here were top class, helpful, positive and fun to chat to, especially nice when staying in a hostel yourself, it's nice to be able to chat to people easily.

Germany- No plugs near the beds, some beds dont have lamps near them. - Drawers under the beds are super laud. You must wake everybody up everytime you use them. - They close the kitchen around 21:00. If you wanna eat something later than that, no chance... - Checkin and checkout times does not make any sense. Checkout at 10:00 but checkin at 16:00? Why 6 hours in between? That should be 3 hours max. - Renting a towel costs 4€. You can buy a towel for that price in the nearby shops. Way too expensive and feels like a rip off. - No luggage storage, first time in my life, I have seen a hostel without luggage storage.
+ Location is amazing. + Staff is nice. + Breakfast is decent. + Kitchen is good, you can cook your meals etc...

United StatesOverall it was a great experience. I will say this, though, to future guests: please don't be inconvenient. You're sharing a room with other people, act accordingly.
I loved the friendly staff - shoutout to Annie and Yasmin who were the friendliest girls ever, and taught me everything I needed to know to explore Dublin in the easiest way. I would also add I loved the common area, it was an amazing place to take a quick nap, rest from all the walking and tourist stuff, plus plenty and very accessible plugs so we can give our phones a charge. Looking forward to going back to Gogartys.

United StatesGet exactly what you pay for. Breakfast is pretty good, assorted cold cuts, tomato soup, toast, and salad was the usual line up. Location is excellent however you will have trouble sleeping if you need silence, located on top of a bar and lots of noise in the rooms. Clean rooms. Bring a towel or they charge a small fee

ChileBecause of the location, the nights were loud. Not because of the other guests, but because we could hear the noise from the street.
I liked that it included breakfast. The location was very centric (just where all the bars are). The room was good, we picked the 4-bed one. The best part was the staff. Very friendly and helpful.

CanadaMy huge disappointment was in the morning before taking my shower, I realized that I had forgotten to take a towel from reception. I got half dressed and the receptionist informed me that towels could only be rented at 4 Euros per towel, I had a few Euros change on me, and he said no cash is permitted only a credit card..So had to go back upstairs, get my card, and back down to pay for a towel. Sorry, sorry totally unacceptable!!
The breakfast included in the price was a buffet-style breakfast and was very good value for the money!! A good variety of food was available along with coffee, tea, and juices. The breakfast room staff was very friendly and the area was always clean!

SpainThe bed was quite tight, if you are over 1.80 which is my case will struggle to fit. They only had 6 plugs for a 10 bed dorm and not even next to the beds, all together by a desk so not very handy, and the fact of not having common bathrooms or showers and only a single one in the room for 10 people was a bit annoying mostly in the mornings.
The location was perfect, although maybe a bit noisy at night it's in the middle of Temple Bar area with a lot of things to do and see around. The included breakfast buffet style was also very nice and complete. The staff was very nice and friendly.
