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.).

Bulgaria-
The staff is extremely helpful and polite and speaks very good English. Thanks for organising a day trip to the Great wall of China and helping and advising us during our short stay in Beijing. The breakfast was really delicious, also the food in the onsite restaurant and bakery. The location was quite good - an authentic atmosphere in the middle of hutongs, close to the metro station, on a walking distance to some touristic spots like Lama temple and Confucius temple.

The location was super nice. Located in one of the traditional Beijing Hutong, everything was close by. The hotel provided us with bikes, so we could explore the city even better. All of the staff members speak impeccable English and helped us navigate with Chinese apps. Would definitely come back again!

United KingdomThere was a rambunctious cat behind the hutong who scared the crap out of us at 3 am one morning! But it has nothing to do with the hotel and we laughed it off once we realised what it was. :-)
Despite being used to staying in luxury hotels when travelling this hotel offered a home away from home, feel in the middle of Beijing. It felt like you were visiting family with the warm customer service and comfortable apartments. The on-site restaurants were fantastic as was the in-house bakery/delicatessen which had a bit of everything to offer. The pastries were amazing. From the moment I booked the room, the staff were in contact and ever so helpful for any questions that I had! Nothing was too much for them, and everything from train station, logistics, tours, and City information was provided swiftly and thoroughly with multiple options. Arranging the trip was akin to messaging a friend for information before you arrived at their home (via WeChat).

United KingdomIt was in the heart of old town Beijing and was very quirky and tastefully done but the best bit was how helpful the reception staff were … it’s not easy holidaying in China .. from ordering cabs changing money to sightseeing.. but they went out of their way to help us .. will definitely return

They were so accommodating, helpful, and hospitable. They helped us arrange airport transportation. We were leaving early in the AM so they asked if we want coffee or tea and packed us a bag of pastries. Love them!

GermanyWe had a little construction site right next to our room that spoiled the atmosphere a bit. Also one night one of the cats meowed for hours in front of our door because she wanted to get inside our room. No chance to sleep without earplugs.

United StatesRoom had a damp smell when I arrived but the staff worked hard to get rid of it, and did manage to. It would have been great to have some more horizontal surfaces to put things on, but that's a minor suggestion.
The staff were superb! Friendly and always available for helpful advice. Breakfast at Toast was fantastic. Exceptionally tasty. Room was spacious and very very clean. All in all a great experience, would definitely recommend and return.

United KingdomI was in room 2 which is tasteful and lovely, with a skylit section ( but possible to blackout); but it was below the'toast' restaurant kitchen, so from around 630am early morning banging and cooking sounds did intrude on my rest. Also low hot water pressure. Private car and driver arranged for day to take us to Great Wall, some very unnecessary stress from staff when we were running little late in the morning for our own car ! Good driver through.
A beautiful and stylish peaceful oasis in an old Hutong - a maze of alleyways - part of old Beijing. Close to history, lots of great eating and drinking options nearby. The onsite breakfast restaurant 'toast' - was excellent. The M.C. Escher like steps and rooftops provide views across the Hutong to the historic drum and bell towers. Super-comfortable bed, clean and fresh room, beautifully scented. Fresh fruit, water and tea provided. Most comfortable. All in all a great spot. Unique and well designed and executed. Good very useful info provided for forgein visitors. Helpful in arranging cars/ drivers. Staff speak good English.

NetherlandsThe only thing I can think of that I didn't like is that the heating system made a pretty loud noise which made it hard for me to fall asleep. I was staying there in winter time - January, and I was worried that if I'd turn the heater off the room would become cold at night. Luckily I found out that the room stays warm throughout the night if you heat it up before you go to sleep, so problem solved ;)
The Orchid's location is fantastic, in the middle of Beijing's hutongs (great area to walk around and get lost in) and close to the drum & bell tower, nanluoguxiang and even the forbidden city is only a 10 minute bicycle ride away. The hotel itself is lovely, it's like staying in an tiny old Chinese village. Staff is wonderful too, very helpful and friendly. As for places to eat around the hotel - try Mr Shi dumplings in the same street as the hotel, highly recommended!
