Each review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

- • Solo traveler
- • Budget Double Room
- • Stayed 2 nights
Finding the location was problematic. I have one BIG suggestion, and that is for the owner to post on Booking.com (and any other aggregator where they advertise this townhome) for a) guests to use the "Waze" app to find it and b) to post the address. Google Maps will not get a guest to the townhouse. GoogleMaps will cut off / end before you arrive and ask for a review 100 meters before you arrive. Waze is very popular in the U.S. and works in Ireland. Also, the location is 20-minute drive outside of Dublin City Centre with no traffic (40 minutes with traffic). Guests should be aware.
The staff person/property manager was very helpful during both stays (each for two nights). The townhouse is very clean, the bed and bedding were extremely comfortable, I felt very safe, and it was an excellent experience.

- • Solo traveler
- • Deluxe King Room
- • Stayed 2 nights
It was very difficult to find the location. If I had my wife with me it would have been a problem. I rang the doorbell of one home before the owner was able to send me a WhatsApp link to more precise directions. Also, they require that shoes be removed before you walk into their townhome (this is fine, but it should be disclosed in the Booking.com information before the room is booked). Visitors to Ireland should be given information in the Booking.com website that lodging in Ireland typically does not have electrical outlets in bathrooms (so they can plan accordingly). The main negative is the complexity in finding the townhouse (glad this was a solo trip). Internet was slow and spotty, but they said that it will be upgraded on March 20th.
It was very clean and safe. The bed was great. The room was nice as was the bathroom and the kitchen to use to study, cook, make coffee, etc.

A lovely double bedroom in a newly built house in a quiet, residential estate. The space was spotless and well-kept, with a very comfortable bed. The host was genuinely kind and attentive—checking in to make sure everything was going smoothly and that I had everything I needed. I was attending a seminar nearby, so this place was ideal for a restful overnight stay. Peaceful surroundings, great hospitality, and excellent value for money—would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a calm and clean place to stay.
