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 KingdomRoom was ok, but had seen better days. My private bathroom was across hallway, and when I arrived, somebody was using the toilet which was not ideal. Walls are very thin - i could hear everything the group in the neighbouring room were saying, and was woken by their 5am alarm
Good location, near river and 10mins from station.

NetherlandsThe room was very badly insulated, noises from the hallway and adjacent rooms were clearly audible. The hotel is non-smoking but when other guests were smoking on their balcony the smell easily permeated into other rooms.
The hotel is very well situated, close to public transport, stores, the promenades and the old city. The room itself was small but clean and had all essential facilities (although the fridge was tiny). The desk manager was very polite and helpful.

CanadaThe bathrooms in the rooms are very small. almost gives the vibe of an airplane bathroom.
This hotel has a lot of character. Their rooms are spacious and comfortable. The beds are comfortable. It is a very short walk to the major attractions in the city, makes is a perfect location and value for money as compared to the other hotels around in that area. Keep in mind that their elevator actually starts from the 1st floor so you need to carry your luggage a couple of stairs before you reach the elevator but this was clearly indicated in the hotel description while booking so it wasn't a surprise for us.

FranceThere's not much you can do about neighbours and passers-by: cheeky dogs barked one of the nights we of our stay and I heard them! Husband slept right through though. ;)
Loved: The oriel with view over the Rhone. That was the reason I picked the hotel and chose that room. :o Wow! The ergonomic memory-foam pillows! As good as home :) The feel it’s not brand-sparkling new build and decoration that’s cost the planet a bomb. :) The shutters which gave us complete darkness for a good night’s sleep. :D The high high ceilings and the read in the bay-window in the setting sun!

RomaniaThere were a couple of aspects which we didn't like which will not prevent us choosing it again to be honest, but they should be taken into consideration. The building is pretty old and the walls are very thin, we could easily heard noise from other rooms, especially from the hallway - there are 6 rooms which have the doors in a very small hallway. Another aspect we didn't like is the light in the room and in the bathroom as well, very very weak. We couldn't shave/makeup in the bathroom. During the day there is no problem, there room is full of light from outside, but over the night it may be difficult. Lastly, I haven't noticed any recycling, I consider mandatory to do this. There was a single bin in the room, nothing selective. I let the plastic/glass bottles separate. Hopefully they do recycle.
The hotel is situated very well, at walking distance from city center and the main train station. The view from our room was amazing, straight over the river. We also had a little balcony; I think not all the rooms have one though. The room was cozy in an old building having a nice architecture. Very clean and comfortable.

United StatesThe shower head was a bit high, it must have been installed by very tall person! but I still could reach it. The wooden floor creaked a bit and I wondered if it bothered visitors on floor below. The person at reception when I arrived was helpful but not particularly amicable.
Very clear messaging exchange with staff to know how to enter and take room. Very clean. Nice small fridge in room. View on Rhone river.
