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 KingdomThe staff weren't very friendly, but we only noticed this because of the cheerful friendliness of other places we stayed. The music in the breakfast room was loud and a bit overwhelming - we moved outside to the pretty garden.
A quiet, comfortable and well-situated hotel near all the restaurants and bars of Barrio Escalante. The room and bathroom were spacious and ours had a little garden outside. Breakfast was good.

BulgariaThere was hardly any daylight in my room. Breakfast starts at 8, I had to leave at 7.30 and despite promises that at least coffee could be arranged, got nothing (there are nearby places opening earlier, though).
Firstly, this hotel exists! (Had to book it urgently as my previous choice disappeared between the booking and arrival). It is well located within walking distance from both the Inter-American Court and other institutions in Los Yoses/San Pedro and from the centre of San Jose. The room was equipped and spacious. It has seen its better days, but everything (except the safe) was functional, especially wifi and hot water. The staff was friendly and helpful, but make an effort in Spanish as not everyone speaks English. Breakfast is basic, but has fresh fruit.

Costa RicaThe parking lot is closed and you need to ask the clerk every time you need to go to the car or take the car in or out. The rooms and hallways could use an image refresh to look modern and enhance the experience.

Francethere was mold and it was quite dirty. Not horribly dirty, I didn’t really care because I only stayed one night and it was inexpensive but if you are a clean freak then you probably won’t want to stay here.
It was pretty comfortable and the price was fair. There were a lot of restaurants, cafes and bars nearby.

FranceThe hotel is simple, so don't expect luxury. The days I stayed it was unusually cold in San José and without heating it was quite cold in the room, especially at night, but I guess this was a kind of uncommon situation.
The hotel is located in a nice villa and has a good location, 5 minutes walking distance from Barrio Escalante where many bars and restaurants are located. Rooms are spacious and the ratio quality/price is good.

Costa RicaWe were staying with two small kids which means constant movement. The wooden floors in our room were so loud with the constant movement of little feet. It was overwhelming for using think if it were just us adults it wouldn't have bothered us. Also most hotels these days have more to offer as far as what is on the television. There were only 12 stations with literally nothing appropriate for small children so the time we spent in the room was difficult to try and keep kids quiet while being in a shared space hotel.
The location is excellent and so quiet for being in the middle of town and right off the busy street! Like a beautiful garden oasis.

Costa RicaI want to write to share my opinion about my short stay at the hotel. First I want to say that I remember when about 15 years ago, I was walking by the hotel on the way to the bus station, I always wanted to one day go visit the very prestigious hotel. Upon arriving at the hotel there was some type of failure with the internet and the staff could not find my reservation, perhaps a moment to arrive a little complicated with the internet situation. However, in a tense situation, the client should always be treated calmly and made to feel welcome, I did not feel welcome. When I handed over the keys and went up the stairs to the Suite with Mountain View, I couldn't ignore the damage to the ceiling and walls and a rather strong musty smell. Upon entering my room I see that it really does not have a "mountain view" it is a view of a wall with some plants and a patio with chairs and tables that clearly have not been cleaned in a long time. The damage to the ceiling in the patio area is noticeable as well. I chose to enter the room again, once again the humidity is felt in the room, so much so that the duvets on the beds feel wet. I tried to ignore all the adversities after a long trip where I only wanted to rest, when I uncovered a bed and removed the duvet, I found hair on the sheet, when I passed my hand through the sheet I felt a dirty sheet and bed, and also a stain on the sheet that I want to give the benefit of the doubt and think was coffe. It is worth mentioning the spider webs inside the room and outside in the patio area. In the bathroom, I found only 1 towel inside the bathroom, which seemed to be the one on the floor to get out of the shower, there is no sign of even 1 towel to dry your hands after using the sink. The toilet could do with a rim change, it is not necessary to change the entire toilet, but I think that a small detail such as basic maintenance after years of us
I only liked the location. Nothing else really. It shattered my expectation.s
