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.).

IrelandThe price of the rooms and restaurant costs are high so value for money is harder to accept. But other than that I can’t wait to visit there again soon
Room excellent food very good and staff would be the reason I would return. It’s very pricey unfortunately but for a special stay in the capital and its location makes it a winner

IrelandExpensive. I booked the room almost a year in advance for €505. I spoke to another guest who booked the same type of room for the same night less than a week ago for €80 cheaper. I’ve stayed in this hotel many times, but this will put me off as a 1st choice from staying here again.
The staff were all polite and courteous, very helpful & professional. The room was clean , the bed very comfortable. Excellent location. The sauna and shower facilities were great to have after the marathon when a late check out couldn’t be facilitated.

NetherlandsOne afternoon when we wanted to drink a cup of tea, there was no room neither in the lounges nor in the bar as there were so many people (probably not all guests at the hotel) enjoying afternoon tea.
The personnel were very friendly and helpful and the hotel has a lot of character and is very comfortable.

United StatesI loved everything about my stay! The restaurants were incredible, especially Restaurant Patrick Guilbaud, and the atmosphere throughout the hotel was warm and welcoming. The spa and pool area were also very relaxing, making the whole experience perfect. Highly recommend!
Everything was just great! I celebrated my birthday here with friends, and we were blown away by the experience. Both restaurants were absolutely incredible — the two Michelin-starred Restaurant Patrick Guilbaud offers a fine dining experience like no other, while The Garden Room was perfect for a more relaxed yet still exceptional meal. The atmosphere, service, and attention to detail made this stay truly memorable. The hotel's facilities were also fantastic. We enjoyed relaxing in the cozy Drawing Rooms with their open log fires and treated ourselves to some amazing cocktails at No 23. The Merrion Spa and Health Club was a peaceful oasis where we made the most of the pool and sauna. I highly recommend this hotel for a special occasion or just a luxurious getaway. I will definitely return if I’m back in Dublin

United KingdomNothing comes to mind.
We were very impressed by the little "additional" touches, such as the band to hold the cables from my charger box and spectacles cloth, because the staff had noted that the cables were dangling loose and we both wore spectacles. Reception, concierge and doormen were all very helpful in giving us directions and getting taxis. The room was spacious, clean and very well equipped. We enjoyed a meal in The Garden Room and were presented with a "Congratulations" plate of cake and fruit, as we were celebrating our 55th wedding anniversary (Emerald), in the Emerald Isle. Overall, we had a most enjoyable few days.

Everything! from the moment we walked into the hotel lobby you knew that you were going to enjoy the stay here The staff were helpful, very friendly and consummate professionals. Public spaces were very comfortable and we particularly enjoyed the garden area and being able to relax with drinks or snacks Our bedroom was supremely comfortable with all the amenities plus that one could want together with lots of little personal touches including little bon bons (to die for!) Everywhere was extremely clean Loved the atmosphere in the Cellar Bar. We returned from a late concert and amazed to find we could order snacks here until 1230 am! This hotel is obviously managed by a team who truly know what they are doing and their guests want!!
