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 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):
- 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.).

The exterior pool area is old & tired and not in keeping with the rest of the hotel. It desperately needs updating. Breakfast was total chaos! Not enough tables and food was undercooked as they were rushing to restock. Staff around the pool were not very welcoming and looked bored. Had to go search for someone to provide us with options for food & drinks.
The interior of the hotel is beautiful and very modern. Rooms are very comfortable.

We paid for the "full board" and while lunch at Market Kitchen was excellent, the buffet restaurant could have been much better. The first dinner was the last night of Ramadan and therefore Iftar. The food selection was very poor. The following days for breakfast were very crowded and chaotic. The staff seemed overwhelmed at times and requests for condiments went unfulfilled. This was unfortunate and led us to pay for dinner at other establishments.
The location of the hotel is very convenient for access to all of downtown Abu Dhabi and shopping. The staff were very friendly and helpful and very quick to assist for any request. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was very clean and well supplied. The water pressure and amount of hot water was excellent. I would recommend the hotel room again. The food quality at Market Kitchen was excellent and the wait staff and chef did an excellent job.

Did not have direct beach access (which we knew in advance). Would have been nice to have free shuttle buses to some location, e.g. to the Louvre of Abu Dhabi, etc. which some hotels offer. But this is a minor point as we have very much enjoyed our stay and plan to stay in this hotel again in future.
Great breakfast buffet, fantastic variety. Friendly staff. Lovely view from rotating Strato bar and restaurant on 26th floor. Clean and spacious rooms with beautiful bathroom. Good choice of restaurants inside the hotel. Good and central location. Will definitely be back.

Pool and surrounding terraces could do with an upgrade to align with the beautiful entrance halls. Breakfast room seems too small for the number of guests. Many people waiting for tables.

To improve the hotel experience, I recommend offering more options for lunch to cater to a wider range of preferences. Additionally, the layout of the toilets should be reevaluated to ensure a more convenient and spacious design for guests, especially considering the tight condition of the WC fixtures.
I was pleased with the convenient location, which made it easy to access nearby attractions and amenities. The breakfast and dinner provided were of high quality and offered a variety of delicious options, enhancing my overall experience. I thoroughly enjoyed my time at the hotel.

The house cleaning did not clean and update the room as it was when I initially checked in. Also, I required an additional night stay and unfortunately, the price doubled to what I paid initially.

Noise can be heard because the doors are close to each other. The corner rooms are gloomy and would be better if have better lighting. Also, it would be better if windows could be opened. The rooms we booked were far, and not as we booked because of availability, we booked a bigger 2 single beds room that we replaced by a 1 double bed.
The atmosphere is great. The staff are super friendly and always put on a smile. There is a Michelin-selected restaurant at the facility. The facility is what you can expect from a Meridien. Definitely would reconsider in the future.
