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 StatesThe sauna was broken our whole stay and that was disappointing. Also, the construction right outside of our window was extremely loud and started very early. They provided ear plugs, but that didn't really help.
This hotel was in a great location and walkable from the train station. The staff was very friendly and the rooms were very spacious, clean and updated. It was so nice to have the robes and slippers to wear down to the steam room and sauna. It made for a relaxing end of the day.

United StatesRestaurant dishes took no risk, good but very standard for such a vibrant lively hotel.
Classic yet with a trendy vibe, upscale but not stuffy. Fantastic stay, the bar is clearly the place in town to be.

MalaysiaWe stayed for four nights..It can get noisy at nights with party-goers walking and talking v loudly along the street Also, there is no place for our transfer limo (from airport) to drop us off at the door of the hotel. We had to lug our luggages to the hotel entrance on our own. That was a big minus for me
The reception team were all very helpful and friendly. The housekeeper did a great job and always with a smiling face. Perfect location to catch your tram. A lovely place for sure

RomaniaThe breakfast could be better and the timetable should be extended up to 10:30 on the week days.
The location is excellent in the spite of the fact that the hotel has no garage. There is a public parking in the proximity , but is not too large and very crowded.

United StatesThe only problem we encountered was the room was rather to warm. But we didn’t call down to ask if we were using thermostat correctly which was our fault.
The staff were very friendly and went out of their way to do everything they could to make your stay a memorable one. The sauna was a nice added touch since we were there visiting Christmas markets and the weather was chilly.

United StatesEverything was good but if you had hip or knee problems, one must climb stairs to reception and in the room.
The hotel was in the perfect location to attend the Christmas Market. The room was very large and super clean. Large shower with heated floor and good lighting. The hotel had an Art Deco vibe and the restaurant was beautiful with a very good breakfast buffet. Lots of choices. The staff went out of their way to help and answer questions and we were able to leave our bags after check out, so we could continue to sightsee and use the free transport ticket. Tram stop was just across the street.
