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.).

IrelandNot a dislike, more a suggestion, a set of coasters in the room to keep your lovely furniture from getting marked from the teacups
Excellent location for exploring Dublin and reasonably priced. The staff were all lovely and it felt like a home away from home. Crisp clean linen spotless and comfortable room. All facilities were on par. Lovely outdoor patio for those who like a cigarette so it caters for everyone. Just a fantastic gem.

CanadaThe desk staff were polite but uninformed about our room and the property in general. The Gardiner Street neighborhood has a mixture of rooming houses, hostels and guest houses. Many of these properties appear to be of lower quality than Gardiner Lodge and we felt somewhat uncomfortable walking the street in the evening with our family. This was a very expensive stay so we didn't feel we got good value for our money.
The interior of the property was well kept and tidy! The room had high ceilings with character. A bar frig would have been nice to have. The breakfast was held in a lovely bright solarium and staff were friendly! Little patio to sit and relax.

SlovakiaIf I have to say something, that was breakfast. We had to leave quite early, at 7:45 for the bus, and breakfast wasnt ready yet. There were yogurt, musli, some pastries but no bread no coffee. We had to wait for some time to get it and I specifically told the manager in the evening that we are early. So I guess if you need to go even earlier, that might be a problem. Otherwise, if we were later, there wont be any problem:-)
Very nice small hotel close to the train station Connolly and also convenient for Dubliner Express for Airport or bus No. 41, which is just outside of Hotel. Everything was fine, no complaint. I like this english style very much. And they have this lift, to take your bags upstairs (3 floors) its like from The Adams family movie, or from Home alone:-))) I like it a lot.

SloveniaSome of the streets around the hotel were a little rough with some drunks walking around.
Good-sized room. Clean & comfy. Good security with an automatic front door. Friendly staff and hassle free check-in. Good Irish breakfast. Allowed us to leave our suitcases for a few hours after check out which was helpful. Good general location to the centre of Dublin, plenty of restaurants and bars close by.

United StatesOur room was very small, just fit the bed, with a small bath. Absolutely no view. Friends had a lovely large room and bath, but 4 flights up with no elevator. I would choose the upper level room.
The hotel staff were friendly and helpful. There were nice seating areas in the hallways, facing out to a small but lovely garden. The walls had many pictures/maps worth spending time gazing at. Lots of books to borrow. Very clean and orderly. The location was very good, central - close to a train station for trips to the north; O'Connell St; lots of pubs; easy walking to museums. Breakfast was in pleasant downstairs rooms with skylights and windows to the garden. We didn't know the area, but felt safe.

United KingdomOur room was super hot (5) even with the window open and whilst using the air fan provided. Room needs an air con unit really, for guests to be able to sleep when the temperature creeps up. The radiator was red hot in the bathroom - not sure that was needed. If you don’t already come from a big city, you might not feel too comfortable in the immediate area.
Delicious Irish breakfast and your orange juice was lovely! I’d suggest a coffee machine, rather than ultra strong percolated coffee. Great service, staff very attentive. The property is gorgeous, we overlooked the yard in our room (very pretty). Had everything we needed. Good bit of a walk to places like Temple Bar, but if you want to keep costs sensible, get your trainers on! A lovely stay and would recommend.
