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.).

BelgiumRoom very hot with heating - the sound of the A/C was like a diesel engine at 3 feet away and didnt even cool OK, the room is communist style but they've tried to modernise .... a bit! Little water pressure in the shower. Sofa was probably fashionable (and clean / not ripped) in 1962
Location very good, near to marathon start, near to shops and restaurants Got the best room in the place - 501 - with a gigantic bathroom, 2 balconies. Party city! Great little kitchenette

United StatesIt would have been nice if there was a breakfast room, but I knew about that before booking. It was very loud on weekend nights with the bar just downstairs, but weekdays were fine. The bed was very hard, so not the best sleep.
Sofia Place Hotel was in a great location near the pedestrian avenue, so close to everything. The room was pretty basic, but the AC worked well, and there was a minibar and kettle. Also glad to have an elevator.

IrelandThe room was not clean at all. Old dirt around bathroom tiles in shower cabine, old dust and thick spiderweb near bed. Also the bed linen was so old, that had many holes on it. We left a note for cleaning service to tidy up our room and when we came back, room was just as we left it. Also sound isolation was not good and we could hear our neighbour caugh all night. My husband said pillow and mattress was so uncomfortable, that he couldn't sleep but I was fine so it's a matter of taste I guess.
The location was great, staff was friendly and room had everything we could need- good hairdryer, kettle with tea and coffee, water etc.

Egypt-Strong communist vibes in decor, layout and customer service. -Housekeeping didnt happen when we asked for it -Shower worked sometimes, didnt work othertimes. -Sometimes scalding hot water, sometimes freezing water. -Staff werent very responsive when asked to fix shower or get house keeping done nor helpful when we needed a bit more time after checkout. Given the lack of shower facilities, that would have been the least they could do as a good will gesture. -A smile is hard
Great location Verrry big room that had a kitchentte and huge bathroom and balcony and great views over city Clean when it was cleaned

CanadaThe charm of the hotel, in part was its location near good restaurants and bars. In this neighbourhood the streets are narrow and hard to navigate with a suitcase. This is an aspect of Sophia, rather than a comment on the hotel. I questioned the cleanliness of upholstery on the charming chairs and put down a towel.
Large room with a kitchen sink, fridge, counter and multiple chairs. Balcony, too Convenient to good restaurants.
