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.).

It has been warm here. The room was hot. The only cover was a duvet. Too hot to use. A fan in the rooms would be great in the warm weather as would a flat top sheet under the duvet to use for light cover during warm weather.
The room was nice and the restaurant was adequate. Staff were very helpful. Hotel was across from Lidl making it easy to grab incidentals. It was also walking distance to town center and alternate places to eat. We went to Tullamore Distillery for a tour. A short ride but opted to go by cab. Reception staff called for the cab for us.

The car park was 2 or 300 metres away from the hotel on the opposite side of the road.We had to carry our luggage.The pillows were thin & flat.When checking in no information was given on breakfast times or checkout times.We arrived at 9.20pm after a long journey & the kitchen was closed.One of the breakfast staff was quite rude.The bath was filling up with water & not draining when we used the shower.
The bed was comfortable & the room was warm

The breakfast in the hotel restaurant was not very good and took a long time to come.
The room was comfortable and clean. Would have been nice to have two pillows per person on the bed rather than one. The location is great and the staff were extremely helpful.

The decor is still from the 90s. There was unfinished decor around the halls and room. The bathroom albeit clean and functional and the shower was pretty small.
The staff are excellent, professional and anticipated my needs. There was a mix up with breakfast not being added to my room, feels like booking.com fault, the staff honoured the breakfast and they wouldn't let me pay.

Lighting over the mirror in the bathroom needs to be a bit better.
We had a beautiful spacious room at the rear of the hotel so it was very quiet. Very comfortable bed and very nice bathroom. The staff at the hotel are exceptionally friendly and nothing was too much trouble for them. We had a meal in the bar in the afternoon which was very tasty, as was breakfast the following morning. I can honestly say it was an absolute pleasure to stay in the Central Hotel and we will be back again.

The only problem was to get the car to their parking lot, but there was loads of space around. Coffee wasn't great in the restaurant, and orange juice for breakfast wasn't orange, I would say it was a multi fruit. Overall all good for that money
The double bed was big and very comfortable, the room was also big, I would just like to have a shower instead of a bath in a room, but it's only me. The staff was very friendly and accommodating,

Seems to be an IPAS center for Ukrainian refugees on first floor only. Having said this, the hotel is as good as any regular hotel anywhere in the world. I’d definitely stay here again.
Felt like a five star in terms of cleanliness. Attention to detail was of a high standard. Restaurant had DELICIOUS food. Breakfast pancakes were freshly made and perfect. Sam on front desk a complete TREASURE!
