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.).

RomaniaThe refrigerator didn't work properly. One night they had an event with loud music coming probably from 18th floor ( we stayed at 14thfloor) and couldn't sleep well. If you want a quiter room you should mention this.
Room very spacious, very clean with all amenities provided. We received a voucher for breakfast for 2ppl at 69AED (you must request the voucher from reception). Very good buffet breakfast with plenty of choices. The area is close to a lot of indian/ etnic restaurants for all budgets.

SpainDespite location is good, it’s a little far from the beach if you would like to go there by walk. However, distance in Abu Dhabi are long in general.
Cleanliness, breakfast is really good and staff is so nice! Location is good, close to WTC shopping center where there are restaurants to dinner or lunch in.

NetherlandsBreakfast for us not worth the money. We do like some bread, eggs, jam, chees nutella and fresh fruit. But not so much choice i these things. They did have rice and vergetables, baked sausage etc. No swimming pool outside, we didn't read it correctly on booking so we could have known this.
We had a free upgrade to a suite which was bigger than the standard room we had for our kids. Valet parking was good.

LithuaniaNothing really.
A great and comfortable stay in Cristal Hotel in the city center. Location is perfect with many supermarkets and restaurants around, 1km until Corniche promenade. The Amber suite room is comfortable, has fridge, boiler (if you need), breakfast with many options and top view from the building. There is a small swimming pool on 19th floor and SPA. Used both, recommended to relax after a busy city day. The staff is welcoming, addressing all your requests. I would stay here again. Highly recommended!

Nice hotel, with very nice and ample rooms. Clean, comfortable. More than I expected and more than what I assumed I would be receiving for the price that I paid. Attentive service. The area is not much different than many others in Abu Dhabi, yet this hotel delivers as a high quality one. Recommended.

RussiaIf a hotel pool is important to you, then it’s better to look for another one. The pool here is only formal, it is not much larger than the bathroom.
