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.).

MoroccoThe first room they gave us was the one we booked on booking.com and was not clean however we did receive an extra room upgrade from Rose during the chatting process and it was way much better. Soundproofness of the walls and floors are basic.
The online staff Rose, Ivy...were very helpful. We received a room upgrade.

GermanyVirtual reception, fully online service. Received at least 10 emails with different codes and instruction. Another 5 for checking out. A bit chaotic to figure out which code to use where and when. Needed to contact online chat to get the code for the key box of my room. For a same price, I would rather choose a hotel with a normal reception.
Great location, great price. Online service was quick in providing support.

RomaniaAt automated Checkin you have to rely on their system which doesn't always update. I waited over one hour for the operator to activate my check-in. Then I received a dirty room which was clearly used before. So I had to wait some more for the new room. Insode the room, the sink was on the room hallway, the toilet and shower in a separate space. Very odd to brush your teeth basically in the room. There were not enough sockets in the room, so I had to charge my laptop at the entrance door socket as the other ones were occupied with the lights. The whole experience was was nerve-wracking. Wouldn't really recommend this place.
Common area is great

SwitzerlandBathroom could have been cleaned better.
Check-out was easy and straight forward. I don't understand the negative comments on the check-in, maybe they worked on it in the meantime but my check-in went very smoothly and the same goes for others that checked in just after me. Room was super quiet, bed/ mattraze is amazing. Location is great! Price/ performance for Basel downtown is unbeatable

NetherlandsHousekeeping could be better: - The floor in the lounge area was pretty dirty - Snacks/drinks in lounge area seemed not to be topped up. The wine dispenser was empty throughout the whole stay, snacks and coffee were almost empty and non of it seemed to be filled up during the 3 nights we were there. - Conditioner in our shower was empty. Front door got broken on Sunday morning and was still broken by the time we checked out on Monday, leaving it wide open and the common areas open to all
- Good value for money - Great location - Quick response through chat: the heating in our room was broken and we immediately got another room.

ItalyThe double room was very small, but enough for me alone and ok for only one night. However I think it is definitely too small for 2 people. Few things that could be improved: the room was too warm even if the radiation was off and I needed to keep the window open for a while; the mattress was sagging on one side; there are no furniture in the room a part a small bed side.
Hotel in a great location, convenient to stay close to the city center at a reasonable price.

GermanyIt's hard to say the facilities were good; particularly, the pillow was uncomfortable, the hair conditioner was empty, and the hairdryer didn't work. The cleanliness wasn't impeccable either.
The location was great, and the price was reasonable for solo travelers. Following the instructions from the pre-arrival email for self-check-in made the process smooth and easy.

IrelandShower was partially broken which made the water splash around the bathroom, so after every shower we would have to clean and dry it. I sent a complaint and instead of sending someone to fix it or at least to help with cleaning, they came back asking for photos and proof of what was happening. The problem is simple to resolve and should be part of a periodic maintenance process (10€ you can buy a new shower head). Another point to consider is to add a new bedside table as the room had only one.

United KingdomThe light in our bathroom was broken and had to message twice on WhatsApp to speak to someone about getting it fixed, which it never was, so for 3 days we had to use the communal shower in the hallway which defeats the object of booking a room with a private bathroom! No housekeeping, we didn’t expect the beds to be changed every day but a quick once over and fresh towels wouldn’t have gone a miss. The bed wasn’t very comfortable at all and only one pillow each. The walls are paper thin so can hear everything and the doors slam very loudly in the corridors. A full length mirror would be a nice addition in the room.
Great location, walking distance to most areas but right by tram and bus stops too. Check in was fine, all codes received on time and pretty self explanatory! Room was nicely decorated and the heating worked a treat. Wi-Fi worked great and the QR codes in the lobby for suggestions on places to eat/drink etc came in handy.
