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.).

United StatesIt is expensive hotel, but you get value for money. I think that hotel shouldn’t charge for parking at this price point it is a bit petty.
Amazing hotel, great architecture, excellent facilities and rooms, outstanding restaurants and staff that made our stay memorable.

United StatesThe location was great. All staff were friendly and helpful. If there was a problem, staff worked to make sure it was rectified. Also, the Fairmont excursions were excellent. Scott and Alex, two of our guides, were knowledgeable about the area and exceeded expectations. Food was great and I loved the perks of the Gold Level.

Canadacleanliness of the elevator for my building. tracks and hardware was the only notable area needing attention in my eyes. was surprised to see dirt and debris build up in such a high traffic location.
Was in a great location for accessing walking trails and the scenic walking trails to downtown. also, conveniently short walk into the main hotel for restaurants and shops/services. Amazing.

United StatesI would be hard pressed to come up with anything with which to find fault.
The ease of it all. The free bus pass into town, the trails, the splendid terrace, the selection of on site food options, the activities guide (I took the hotel history presentation), the heated pools, including the 34m lap pool, the assistance with transportation, the stores. The lap pool is the standout. If you are balking at the price, know that the founder bought land with a particular view. You will understand pricing better when you stand on the terrace and see what is before you.

CanadaThe temperature in the room was little cooler than what we're used to at home but hey, it's a castle! :-)
All of the staff we encountered were exceptional at what they provided. We only stayed one night - it was a gift from our children for our 50th wedding anniversary, and we were treated like royalty wherever we went in the hotel. Especially liked the personal touches like the hand-printed anniversary card and chocolate-dipped strawberries in our room when we arrived.

We loved that we got upgraded to the 5th floor. The afternoon appetizers were delicious. The dining area and lounge was very comfortable and cozy also. The breakfast were excellent.

United KingdomNothing, it was faultless.
The room was very big, comfy bed, clean, modern and a cheeky walk wardrobe. The mountain view from the room was a touch as well as the luxury coffee and toiletries, soaps etc. I asked for a last minute request (as we were checking in) for a chilled bottle of bubbly in our room for an early birthday celebration for Chloe. The staff went above and beyond. The location is spectacular, the grounds are beautiful and grand. The service from staff is second to none. The bars, restaurants and offerings are quite special. We were truly blown away by what the premises has to offer. We used the private bowling alley (I was victorious over Chloe after coming from behind to take the win on the final bowl), indulged in the wine and cheese tasting and met other guests, it was a lot of fun and learnt a few new things. The outside and indoor pool area is brilliant, the added bonus is having a bar in the pool area (drinking frozen margaritas whilst in the outside heated pool in Winter). The Rundles bar is a must, a large open room with the highest ceilings, marble finishes, and a swanky 1920's style ladder bar with numerous shelves stacking the highest quality spirts from around the world, stacked as high as the ceiling. A pianist is part hidden behind a grand piano on the upper floor. The elegant sound projecting perfectly across the room, it set a classy atmosphere, you feel like you're dreaming. The Castello restaurant is highly recommended. Ask about the Baverian Cottage in the woods, we both said it was the best burger we have ever had, the cocktails were in a league of their own, icing on the cake was beating Chloe at pool. The welcome from the staff at front desk (Mim) was incredibly helpful and made our experience even better. I could go on and on praising everything. Loved it, thank you Fairmont. Can't wait to stay with you again.
