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.).

CanadaLocation is amazing. Loved the historical building. The room, although smaller than some hotels rooms, was perfect. Cozy, very clean, extremely comfortable with super extra touches like a heated towel bar and "woodstove". Will definitely stay there should I return to St. John's. Highly recommended.

CanadaDidn’t like that the window did not have a screen and was not private. The towel warmer did not work. Lots of dust on lamp shades in bathroom. Half used bottles of shampoo and conditioner. Table located by bathroom was dirty. Piece missing off a dresser and louder than usual because we were located by the utility room.
Location was great! Bed was comfortable. TV was a good size for the room. Loved the jetted tub.

CanadaThe breakfast. Though we were aware the breakfast to be a "Continental" it has been some time that we have stayed at a location without some sort of real breakfast to start our day... even if at a reduced cost for hotel guests. Having now compared Murray Premises with other hotels in the area... we are more likely to gravitate to another nearby location that is able to provide a true breakfast (some sites include breakfast in the price and others offer a reduced charge for hotel guests). Having the option to an on-site breakfast before preparing for the day ahead (shower etc.) is a real game changer.
The location can't be beat... awesome access to everything. Note, access being the key reason we gave this location a try. Is our first time to stay here. It is worth mentioning parking our rental vehicle at the property was easy and convenient. Three things I believe travelers rate as most important (1) Foot Access - Most travelers have spent significant time driving to their destination, being able to step away from automobiles and associated stress to walk in the fresh air is welcomed. (2) Include conveniently located parking lends itself to worry free arrival. (3) A great breakfast on-site to start the day ahead.

CanadaThe breakfast could have been better. Maybe offer toast, bagels, or waffles, or cold cereal as options. As a smoker, a bench out front would have been nice.
The room was larger than we expected and very comfortable. The location was superb! Close to everything we wanted to see and do.

CanadaThe Keg and Jack Asstor’s across the street blocked our amazing view of the harbour from our room! Not a problem.
Murray Premises was a very welcome surprise as it is in the middle of the downtown area, with easy walking to most central pubs and restaurants. The room and bed were very comfortable, clean and spacious. The helpful staff made excellent recommendations for local dining. Parking and late night security are well thought out. Very good value for downtown St. John’s.

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.
