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.).

AustraliaI didn't read note in room that room servicing was by request. But staff brought to our room what we needed, with a smile on his face. It's always nice to come back from a day out to be welcomed by a fresh room.
We like this place any easy commute to the city and close to globe eateries. The rooms are clean and comfy. Staff are all really friendly.

United KingdomI expected a better breakfast, being lactose intolerant meant I couldn’t have the cereal with the milk given so a croissant or another kind of pastry would have been preferred.
We were able to check in early which was hugely appreciated after a long journey over. The room was clean and spacious

United KingdomRooms are not automatically cleaned each day. You have to specifically request at reception. Wasn't a problem for us but taxis and Ubers are not able to stop directly outside the hotel as it is on a very busy main road. You can get picked up around the corner though.
We had an internal room so it was quiet despite being on very busy road. Excellent location right next to the Broadway shopping centre. There are lots of great cafes nearby.

CanadaThe location is convenient but beware that car/taxi cannot stop right in front of the entrance or anywhere nearby so if you have huge luggages you will need to carry and walk a minute from where you can stop your car so it could be a challenge. And there is no chair or table for sitting or writing in the room which is a bit inconvenient.
Big and comfy bed, sufficient supply of toiletries products like shampoo, conditioner and body lotion which is great. Breakfast area is huge and even though I haven't enrolled the breakfast option, I can still access the free coffee/tea.

AustraliaThe bathroom stank of cigarette smoke, there were burn marks on the toilet seat and the bed was uncomfortable due to the raised seam in the middle. Aircon should be controlled in the room at your own comfort as it’s either on low, high or off and you can’t turn it off at night. It’s seriously warm on the 3rd floor.
Overall good, I was happy with the 2 nights. I stayed in a king room on the 3rd floor away from the main road which was relatively quiet except for exhaust fans outside the room. It was quite hot when I arrived and no aircon control in my room - you have to ring reception who tells me there are 2 settings, low and high only. You then have to wait for housekeeping to flick that switch for you. In this case I waited over 3 hours and made 3 phone calls. The room itself was small but ample for my solo needs. The bathroom stank of cigarette smoke and you could tell the previous guest had smoked in it. There was stray hair in the shower and burn marks on the toilet seat. It was modern and apart from the hair on the shower wall seemingly clean and came with wall style toiletries. The bed was a fake king size, my pet hate - 2 single beds zipped together with an uncomfortable seam that goes straight down the middle. That seam was well raised and kept me from crossing over to the forbidden side all night.. Staff were friendly and allowed me to check in early as my room was ready. I was also able to leave my luggage for the day. It’s in a great location and I loved the easy access to the shopping centre, eateries and the park across the road. RPA is only 5 min down the road, an easy ride by bus (hospital was my main reason for stay). Close to Central station and I walked there and back. I would stay again, it was good value for money.

AustraliaThe weird things...The bed on wheels slid across the room when I sat on it. The powerboards under the bedhead kept getting crushed and disconnected by the bed.
Staff (Julie, I think) was very friendly and informative at check in, arranged a nice room and was very helpful. The room was comfy.

AustraliaUnfortunately, the room we booked (Standard Queen Room with Internal Window) did not have any window at all! The hotel should be much clearer about this, as we would absolutely not have booked a room without a window. Waking up wirth no natural light was extremely confusing and very claustrophobic. Luckily, Julie on the front desk moved us to another room with a window for our second night which was much better. The booking description should really be updated so others don't make the same mistake.
This hotel is in a great location and easily accessible, and we did enjoy our stay. However, our first night was spent in a room with no window (awful) despite saying there was an internal window in the description. This felt quite prison like and very claustrophobic, so be careful which one you book. Luckily, Julie on the front desk moved us to a room with a window for the second night. She was abslutely amazing and super accomodating and even left us little treats to apologise. The second room was much better. The beds are super comfy and we felt that the hotel had everything that we needed. Lots of great cafes nearby.
