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 StatesSlightly out of main part of town. A steep walk to get to the hotel from restaurants or the train station. (This was the "cost" of the stunning view.)
Room with balcony had a stunning view. Good sized room and bathroom. Excellent breakfast.

AustraliaThis hotel exceeded our expectations. We loved it so much! The room and view were amazing, bed comfortable and the staff were so lovely and gave us good tips for what to do! Easy to park, beautiful walks around the hotel and it had such a beautiful outdoor area for breakfast and dinner. We wish we could have stayed longer. 10/10 from us!

SingaporeWould be great if they had a mini-fridge and a kettle. The staff were kind and cheerful. One very sweet individual lent us a kettle for the duration of our stay. The view from our room was unfortunately blocked by a very big tree. Luckily, we were able to enjoy a splendid view from the terrace. And the panoramic view is what this hotel is really all about.
It was a traditional "old-school" room. Simple, no nonsense. The chef owner of the hotel made us feel very special. He even served breakfast personally.

SingaporeThe shampoo was in sachets, and soap bars were provided, which was a little dated practise 😀. Would have preferred thicker pillows 😴.
The owner, Robert, ensured that we were taken care of, from recommending hiking routes to meals. At the restaurant, we asked for the English menu from the waiter. He saw us and came over and recommended us stuff on the menu of the day, which was only in German. The location was perfect and we simply parked our car and took the local transport around. It had a great view over the town, and you can actually see the sunrise over the mountain behind the hill. There is a shortcut by foot (just a minor slope) to the town, which is somehow not recommended by Google maps. Robert saw us walking back to the hotel one afternoon and offered us a ride as it was very hot! The restaurant is good but do know Wed is their rest day and the restaurant is closed. It has alfresco dining overlooking the town too. Robert also gave us the use of their washing machine without charging extra. The furniture is the traditional Swiss type, realised that when we visited the cultural museum. 😀

United StatesThere was nothing they could have changed. They're on a high hill, so access by foot is challenging.
The breakfast was excellent. The location was lovely, BUT we were traveling by train and foot. The climb up the hill to the hotel was difficult. We could have taken a taxi each time, but that would have increased the cost. The owner did drive us to the train station at the end of our stay.
