How guest reviews work
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 use a weighted review system which means that 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. 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, 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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

We were aware that this is students' accommodation, but really appreciated if trash bin, hangers in wardrobe and toilet brush would be available. Bed a bit too narrow for 2 adults. To get in/ out you have to use key by all the doors so its a bit annoying. No wall sockets near mirrors to use hair dryer.
Clean, very central. Complimentary shower gel, shampoo and coffee available in reception as well as iron and hair dryer. Possible to use kitchen. Tesco grocery just next door. Very responsive staff.

There are bars across the street from the facility, music can be very loud way pass midnight, sometimes till 2:30am on weekends. Ask for a room away from the street if you are a light sleeper. The unit we stayed in had no cutting knife, which is inconvenient. Trash was not collected in the last few days of our stay.
Great location, walking distance to city central streets with restaurants, pubs and stores. Friendly staff, facility is clean, laundry room is available on site is a plus.

It was very dark. I would worry about students living there for a term. It would be inexpensive to fit some reflectors on the cement wall opposite the window.

As it was student accommodation and my daughter has just done 4 years at Uni, I thought this accommodation was better than anything she stayed in. It would have been nice to have tea and coffee making faculty's in the room and not have to get dress to got to the communal Kitchen to make it. How ever it wasn't a massive problem.
This is a bed only location, very central to Cork's massive selection of pubs and restaurants. We went to a gig at The Marquee, which was about a 30min walk. The staff were very friendly and very helpful. The staff recommend Tony's and we weren't disappointed. Bed was comfortable, washing/shower faculty's were good and clean.

Given the price of the room, compared to hotels available at the same time, I was happy with the room in general. To be fair, it is a bit spartan, given that it is student accommodation and if you go in expecting the facilities of a hotel room, you will be disappointed. However, the room itself was of a decent size and the bed was comfortable and of a decent size for one person. The room could have done with a bit of a clean, but it was dirty per se, just a few scuff marks here and there.
The location of Lee Point is excellent, being only a short walk to the city centre. My friends and I were in Cork for the Joe Bonamasso concert at The Marquee and found Lee Point to be an excellent location. The reception staff were very friendly and helpful on arrival and helped us to find our way around.
