Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    Daily swim refreshing and cold which gets the blood up. Have swam here every morning for over 32 years and would not miss it. Great spot

    I was in Dublin for work, and I really enjoyed the chance I had each evening to stroll along the river and explore the city - it was a good anchoring landmark. There are several bridges for crossing, all with their own character. I loved listening to the gulls as walked along. The hotel I was staying at was right at the end of the river where it goes into the harbor/sea.

    This bay is the nicest bay I have ever visited. People told me it's architecture has been copied to build man made bays in other parts of the world? I can believe it. You must visit this wonderful part of Ireland.

    An interesting place for a stroll around. Very quiet spot and a real hidden gem.Used to be a reservoir for the north of the city and now a park. When i was there it was quiet with two park wardens walking around. It did not feel unsafe. There is a nice walk to the Grand Canal if exit at the rear of the park and turn right and walk through that park. If you turn left there is a kids playground. There is an interesting mix of houses in the area . Not the nicest area in Dublin but worth a visit if you are in the area

    The Dodder holds a special place in my heart. It truly is an iconic location, made so by the presence of Max.

    Went for a walk in my lunch hour along the canal towards Cabra. It is a lovely walk along the canal with the odd train running along beside the canal. Lots more apartments going up at Ashtown
