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 StatesA fan in the bathroom would be helpful. We never received the wifi code through email as per the instructions. We arrived at night in a driving rain, so it was difficult to find the entry from the parking lot. This would not have been a problem if the weather had been different. Staff in the building where we stayed were very friendly but not as informed.
Oversize room with comfy beds. Clean bathroom. Plenty of space for our things. Restaurants and grocery store in walking distance. Staff in check-in building were very informative.

CanadaThere is no way to contact reception! There is no phone in the room itself so you can't just "dial 0" as in a normal hotel, and if you call the phone number provided by Booking.com you get the voicemail of some guy in "housing services" of the university, NOT the hotel front desk. Really inconvenient if you've e.g. already dressed down for the night and need something all of a sudden. This may seem minor but it really annoys me, it takes literally 5 minutes to look over the Booking listing to ensure all the info is correct, the fact that the wrong phone number is listed just shows a lack of care.
Unexpectedly good hotel for a converted dormitory - the beds were actually really nice, and not "student beds" as I expected, and the rooms very clean. The room layout is a bit strange (if you get a 2-bed room, it's actually 2 separate rooms with 2 separate keys and an area common to both rooms with bathroom, mini-kitchen etc), but it's actually really great if you have someone who's a light sleeper (the other person can do anything in their room without disturbing them at all).

CanadaIt was very cold in the room with no way to turn down the Air conditioning...found a earwig on dresser, then noticed a spider on the bed sheet upon leaving in the morning. Could use better pillows as well, they were not very big or comfortable. Other than that I love that we did not need a visa or credit card to pay for the.

CanadaThere is no sign indicating the building was the Summer Hotel for St. FX and it is a building situated among many others. Instead, the only sign on the building is its official Governor House sign. Thus, I spent much time driving around the campus looking for Summer Hotel signage.
The room was larger and more attractive than most other accommodations at this price.
