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.).

NetherlandsHousekeeping did not observe the "Do Not Disturb" sign on the door knob twice. On the first day I didn't need anything, left the DND-sign on my door, but when I came back I found new towels (not very sustainable). On the second day housekeeping entered while I had just woken up, despite the DND-sign on the door. What's the use of a DNB-sign when it is not observed?
Great location, good atmosphere, clean and comfortable room, quiet, assistance with transportation, helpful staff. Good choice when visiting Datong and surroundings. Great coffee too!

BelgiumA bit small for the luggage for 3 people, but we only stayed one night so not a big issue. The room was next to the breakfast room so a bit noisy in the morning
The hotel is right in the center, but it's quiet. We had a huge bed for 3 people, enough room for everybody. The staff didn't speak any english, but used online translator and had prepared a proposal for tour for the next day with all needed info in english so it was easy and fast to decide what to do

SingaporeRoom a bit small, can smell reek of cigarette around. Same breakfast daily
Historical Yan Hua Temple & popular eateries of Datong are all within walking distance from the hotel. It located within walking street, You need to get driver to stop at 严华饭店&walk to the barrier to reach here. Here I must really say a big thank you for the staff who we met during checkout. She has went extra miles to assist my husband to search for his lost wallet and promptly follow up.

United KingdomLots of suspicious stares from staff, which I suppose is something you get used to as a traveller in this part of the world, but in a hotel where I saw a number of other foreign travellers, it seemed a bit odd. Also, the room was always really hot and the air conditioner was rather ineffective.
The room was huge, very clean, and all facilities were as they should be. The hotel is in a very convenient location, right next to the bell tower and Huayan temple.

United StatesEverything about the actual hotel was great. No complaints at all. An annoyingly persistent recorded message from the square outside. Nothing the hotel could do about it though.
Location can't be beat. Best bed in China yet. Upgraded to very spacious room. Extremely helpful staff. Tasty breakfast.

Charming historical building within the city centre, extremely kind staff who upgraded my room for free, helped me to bring my suitcases to the nearest taxi, found a local guide book in a book store for me and gave good advice on local restaurants. Very good level of English spoken, I highly recommend this hostel!

GermanyIt was not possible to regulate the heating in the room, so even though it was freezing outside (-18C), we were sweating in the room and had to open the window or use the airconditioning. This phenomenon is often encountered in hotels in northern China.
The location of the hotel was super, right in the “old” (rebuild) town center, and around the corner of the Huayan temple. The hotel and room were clean and the bed comfortable. The (Chinese styled) breakfast was decent. The staff was very friendly and had a good restaurant tip for dinner.

MalaysiaMy only constructive feedback would be on the temp adjustment of the shower; temp change was very extreme with only a slight tweak to handle.
I love the traditional design of the hotel, the cosiness and cleanliness of the hotel room, plus the room facilities that came with the unexpected water container that functions as a water filter as well. Most of all, I appreciate the excellent service of the Front Desk, who were more than willing to assist us with the booking of a taxi for our Yungang Grottoes & Hanging Temple day trip hassle free, and reached out to us when they found a pair of dark glasses in one of our rooms after we left (which as it turned out, were not ours).
