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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

IndiaMy wife and I checked in around midnight on the 20th of February 2024, we had a smooth check in and the duty manager went out of his way to help us choose a room of our liking by showing us three different rooms!!! That was exceptional! We had booked a standard room, but we were upgraded to deluxe category. The dining options at the Gulf Hotel are just unbelievable...and they have live music at most of the venues and we had a wonderful time at the mexican restaurant Cantina with live music and dance. The ambience of the bar is amazing too with both indoor and outdoor sitting. In all, the Gulf has seven to eight restaurants offering different cuisines like Italian, Mexican, Iranian, etc. They also have a plush cigar lounge.. The pool at the Gulf is just outstanding and whether you're with family or by your self it is the perfect place to spend a relaxed afternoon or evening. To top this all is the location.... you step out of the Gulf right onto Block 338 which is the most happening area in Manama, full of bars, restaurants and lounges where the action begins as early as 10 am and continues till the wee hours. Breakfast at the hip Cafe Lilou is a 'must do' for anyone visiting Manama!

United KingdomUnfortunately the price of the breakfast was extremely expensive and wasn’t really worth the money. I couldn’t eat a lot of the stuff that was put out so was very disappointed with that.
The hotel was absolutely stunning. I loved everything about it. The room was extremely clean had everything in it that we needed plus more, the bed was to die for was so comfy. The bathroom was spotless and so spacious, the shower was huge and bath even bigger. We ate in the Mexican restaurant and it was delicious. We also ate in the pool bar and there was nothing to complain about at all. The pool was so clean and very well maintained. Above all else the stuff are amazing, nothing was too much trouble. Always happy and smiling. I loved everything about this hotel and experience. Thank you so much for everything.

United KingdomWe were unwittingly 'upgraded' to a room without a bath. I love a bath. The aircon, despite being set to 23 degrees, kept the room at 19 degrees (my alarm clock has a thermometer), we were freezing. The aircon thermostat has bright red lights next to the bed which are impossible to cover. The curtains are black out but light seeps around the sides. The 'luxury' room was very small and had a shower with a shower curtain and a rain shower only. Shower curtains are definitely not luxury (however clean they are) and rain showers are really tricky for those wanting to keep their hair dry. There was a lot of traffic noise late.
The history of the hotel, the location. The non smoking 10th floor doesn't smell of smoke at all. Our room felt newly decorated. The bed was comfortable with a nice natural light weight duvet.

BrazilHotel is expensive for the offered services and facilities. Crowded swimming pools with poor and expensive services. There is not enough parking lot for the number of guests requiring us to park in a parking building far from the lobby. Promised amenities (iron, hair dryer) provided only after requesting.
Beatiful hotel, good location, good breakfast; restaurants, cafés, pubs nearby. Nice view from the room, good bathroom, comfortable bed. Very beautiful swimming pool area.
