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.).

United StatesWe were very happy with Parkway Guesthouse, our host Seamus was very attentive and saw to all our needs. We visited Dublin last weekend for the Oasis concert, and the guesthouse was very convenient and close to the concert venue. On the whole, everything was perfect! We would most definitely stay there again.

NetherlandsThe room was small, but hey...it had everything I needed. There was coffee and tea , a place to hang/put the clothes and a very comfortable bed, I slept so good. Noisereduction was perfect. As soon as I had closed the window I did not hear any noise at all. The room was being cleaned every day and enough towels were being supplied. No breakfast, but in the morning there was orange juice, fruit and brownies/cookies and some kind of applecake. I arrived in the evening and a staffmember was so kind as to bring my suitcase to the room, which was very nice as I had to climb a few stairs to come to my room. To be honest, the place could use some renovation (e.g. new flooring and furniture), but when I go back to Dublin I will sure book my room here again, because all the above mentioned positive experiences makes it all good. :-)

Clean, quiet, good location. Seamus the proprietor is very friendly & amenable. I could drop my bags off early & leave them after checkout till later. This is a lovely welcoming accommodation in Dublin & wouldn’t hesitate to stay again.

ItalySeamus is an amazing host. Always ready to help but never intrusive. I forgot the UK plug and he was ready to borrow me one. Even though breakfast was not included, muffins, biscuits and fruits welcome us each morning. Position is just a 15 minutes walk from the city centre. Little but cozy room, what you need for a trip to Dublin.

BelgiumStreet-facing rooms are a bit noisy. The area was safe, did feel a bit edgy at times.
Staff was very friendly, had some nice chats. Also very flexible to keep luggage on check-out day. Facilities quite okay given price point and expensiveness of accomodations in Dublin. Good connection to buses and trams.

CroatiaA little bit pricey for our pockets, considering it is an old and creaky building, but I guess it's just Dublin prices, not us. Also, no fridge in the room.
The staff was always very friendly and wanted to help. Although there was no regular breakfast in that sense of the word, there were some snacks that we could take to nibble on during our sightseeing. Also, we could leave our luggage at the premises until our flight in the afternoon.

Best night in Dublin! Warm and cozy bedroom with good quality toiletries and clean fresh towels. One extra bed was available if needed. Breakfast was delicious and variety of food and fruit was available. Best location, we walked to the city centre. Near to everything! Staff was the best part, so kind ad loving! My parents didn't understand English but felt the nice and loving energy from staff. They are eager to come back to this accommodation. We all loved it :)

United StatesNo elevator - to get to the top floor you need to walk 6 long flights of stairs, however the owner brought our bags up. No tables or nightstands - when we needed to plug-in a provided tea kettle, we had to store it on the carpeted floor.
Good location within 15-20 minutes from the city center. Our top floor room was quiet with two comfortable beds.

AustraliaThere are stairs to climb with luggage. I packed light, but it could be an issue if you are not used to stairs in accommodation. perhaps this could be included in the description?
The location was good. The bed is comfortable, towels and premises clean, daily clean towels, etc. There was no noise during the week but a bit of noise on the weekend both from the street and as guests arrived. All very acceptable and otherwise quiet. TV had limited stations but if you carry laptop or device you can watch on that. Wifi worked well.
