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):
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.).

Canadanothing.
The hostel is lovely, about a 1.5 km walk from town centre, so it’s relatively quiet and away from the crowds. I booked a solo room, but will say that the dorms are small and don’t sleep that many people, so probably would’ve been alright with a dorm bed. Plenty of really nice camping spots here too. Staff and owner are great, and it’s the cleanest hostel I’ve ever stayed at.

IrelandThe only downside was the shower system. You have to press a button to keep the water running, and the water stops after just a few seconds. I understand it's designed to save water, but the intervals are so short that you end up pressing the button repeatedly, which isn't very comfortable — and you can get cold during your shower because of it.
The hostel is very well located, close to Dingle town, and it really has a special charm. The aesthetic has a rustic, countryside vibe that gives it a unique and cozy atmosphere. It met our expectations, and for the price, I think it's definitely worth it if you're planning to stay a night on the peninsula.

BelgiumWas given a room next to the toilet, which made it so it was loud at night when people got ready to go to sleep. Did not accept card to pay for the towel rental (was not mentioned before arrival) and to check out early we had to call a phone number that didn't get answered.
Nice staff and calm location. Room was comfortable and clean. And you could rent towels to use for little money. Location was very calm with great views and not far from city centre. Lots of space to park the car.

IrelandI recently stayed here with my brother, mother, and daughter, and we had a lovely experience. The location was convenient--not far from the city center--and we appreciated the free parking right outside. They also provided a free cot for my daughter, which was a thoughtful touch. When we arrived, a staff member was there to greet us in the kitchen area, making us feel welcome right away. For a hostel, the amenities and overall comfort exceeded my expectations, especially at such a great price. The only downside was we had to share a bathroom but we were absolutely fine with that I'd definitely recommend it for a comfortable and budget-friendly stay!

United StatesShower facility is pretty rustic. Getting laundry done was great, but the guy charged me 10 euros for one load.
Stayed in the hostel for two days on a walking trip of the Dingle Peninsula. Beautiful location and easy walk to Dingle. Facilities are basic, but comfortable. Room slept three, but I was the only one staying in it. Great communal kitchen well equipped for most cooking needs - if I were to stay there again, I would cook a meal instead of getting instant stuff. Cast iron stove in kitchen area made it cozy. Also, they did my laundry, which was great but expensive.
