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.).

CroatiaThere is nothing to dislike, this place is a gem!
Such a beautiful place located on a charming street packed with galleries, shops and restaurants. Very nicely decorated, with many interesting details, like the paintings on the walls, hangers in the room, beautiful old elevator or those cozy areas on each floor. Clean, comfortable, with proffesional and kind staff. Unlike many other hotels, this one has a nice, homey feeling and I only wish I could have stayed longer!

BrazilHaving a minibar in the room would have been a plus.
Small, but clean room. Lower pet and parking fees than others' in the area. The staff were very friendly to us and our pet. Clear instructions on how to get there and park before our arrival.

CanadaThe stairs, we were on the 4th floor. The bar closed early I felt. Pet fees were 25% higher than I'm use too.
Atmosphere, room was cozy and clean. Pet friendly is a HUGE bonus.

The period elements and grace of the old building preserved nicely with elegant and creative updates. A far cry from the state it was in years and years ago.

CanadaMy only challenge with my room was the shower drain was near the entrance to the shower and the water would not go down the grate fast enough so it ran into the bathroom floor and I had to put towels down. Also, you couldn’t close the shower, so water splashed out. Secondly, please provide a top sheet for the bed. Sleeping under a comforter now knowing who slept on it the night before wasn’t pleasant.

CanadaThis wasn’t a problem for me because I’m used to live in the city but at night you do hear train and some street noises which are not a lot. There’s no free parking and you have to walk just a little bit from metro or where you decide to park
It’s small but well managed and you have bar downstairs and the place is nicely decorated. Just 10 min walk from property on Ossington there are a lot of nice restaurants

CanadaNothing serious. The hotel has maintained the ancient, hand-controlled elevator, which is charming AF, but means if the operator is busy dealing with other guests, you can wait a long time for them to come and get you. Really, it’s only an issue when you’re moving luggage, or find 4 flights of stairs difficult.
This is a very cool hotel, and the room was great, not big, but well planned out. It was a reasonable size, not tiny and cramped like you find in a lot of big city retrofit hotels. The bed was amazingly comfortable with fantastic linens and pillows. The supplied amenities are great quality. The hotel overall is very interesting, hung with a rotating art collection and small lounges on each floor, for billiards, or reading. My floor had a full coffee station.

CanadaNothing. There’s a construction by the intersection of the hotel so it can get noisy during the day but that’s unrelated to the hotel. No bath in the room but very nice shower. The design is a bit inefficient as the water splash around the bathroom.
The location on the W Queen Street where’s a popular and trendy location, very close to Ossington strip. Very clean, beautiful heritage hotel and the King Loft room where I stayed was amazing with big windows. The staffs are truly amazing and super friendly.
