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.).

CanadaThe breakfast was limited to muffins and yogurt along with beverages. The sitting area was small for the size of the property with only a few tables so could be crowded at times.
This property was outstanding and the location in a historic building right on the water front was beyond words. The staff was extremely helpful and even offered assistance with our luggage as our room was in the fourth floor and required using the stairs from the third floor where the elevator ended. The rooms took advantage of the wonderful gabled roof and created a cozy atmosphere. The bathrooms were modern and they even had electric fireplaces in the rooms. One block to Water Street and 2 to George Street. The beds and bedding were well above the average for a city hotel. There was also plenty of free parking on site for guests.

CanadaWhen I asked to book a room for an extra night the European accented woman wasn't helpful other than to say my room was booked and I have to go online and find another room myself. The same female and a younger male, also with a euro accent, seemed annoyed when I asked about laundry facilities for my own use.
I liked most of the staff, they were helpful and accommodating. The exposed wooden beams/joist were very rustic and appealing but, the lack of insulation between floors had me hearing co versatile and every step taken by the patrons above.

CanadaRoom was airless because we could not open the windows due to large, noisy air-conditioning units on roof right outside the windows. Breakfast was fair but very basic and everything was in small plastic containers; not very environmentally conscious. Did not appreciate 'Alexa' system in room.
Great location in historic building. Comfortable bed and nice large bathroom.

United KingdomOur room was at the very top of the building. The lift only goes to the third floor. We then had to climb 2 flights of fire escape stairs, then walk across a roof corridor and another set of stairs, every time we went to our room. We met other guests on our floor who also complained about this: frankly, it was hard work! In the room itself, the exposed wooden beams of the roof sloped so low and had sprinkler pipes surface mounted on them, which meant that I couldn't stand up in some parts of the room. It also only had one small window - a roof light - which meant the room was very dark. The artificial lighting was not adequate.
Location; lots of things within easy walking distance. Helpful staff, within the limits of their authority.

United KingdomBreakfast was disappointing, room was dark.
Very clever conversion of an old commercial building, but this meant sloped ceilings and odd timber supports, although this added some quirkiness to the room. Brilliant location for walking the city, free car parking a bonus.
