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 KingdomRoom a bit basic but adequate, couldn't fully close the curtains catching on the rail. Net curtains ok..
About a 10-15 minute walk from the main station, 5 minutes from the main square in the centre. Its quite an old building but well preserved. Good selection for breakfast. Fairly quiet tree lined park outside.

IrelandNothing to not like - it was a lovely, relaxing stay.
The location of the hotel was a very short walk from everything we wanted to see in the city. It was also nice and quiet there. Dedicated parking was a bonus. A lift took the edge off carrying bags up the magnificent stairs. The building is old and has a wonderful charm about it. We wondered how many kings, queens, princes and princesses, along with politicians, film stars and composers had stayed there. Our room, on the 3rd floor, was huge and very comfortable. I’d read some adverse reviews but found no evidence to support suggestions that the staff were rude, no indication that the place was a dump. Yes – there was no shower curtain but if an adult cannot have a shower in an old-style shower cubicle without soaking the bathroom, then perhaps they should ask Mummy or Daddy to help them next time.

DenmarkBreakfast wasn't that good, but I'm not a big breakfast eater anyway. Pick the coffee on the right on the machine. That one's okay. The left one is terrible. Water is all over the floor of the bathroom, when you use the bath, but there's plenty of towels.
Beautiful old building from the times of Austria-Hungary. Oozes history and charm. Excellent location. Interior of the rooms probably haven't been changed since the communist era, except for the bed which was new. Room was quite cool, despite above 30* outside, and there was an old, but excellent and non-noisy fridge in the room. As one who have stayed in lots of places with noisy fridges, I can't stress non-noisy enough. Ah, that cold glass of water in the morning. To me, that's more important than some luxurious furniture, which looks like every other hotel in the world. Excellent value for money.

PolandIt seems like only one short wing of each floor is used for hotel rooms - the whole hallway on the other side of the stairway is in darkness after sundown. The Shower in my room was not up to par, the drain was clogged and the showerhead is pitifully underpowered and showing its age. The room was generally clean and the linens were fresh, but the closets and the floor of the room and bathroom had random pieces of dirt or other debris laying around.
The architecture of the building is great. The Staircase is beautiful. The location could not be better.

Czech RepublicI like stronger tea bags in the morning so had coffee ;-)
A fabulous historical building in the old heart of the city transforms you back a 100 year to the first republic. Perfect for anyone interested is art nouveau architecture. Unfortunately the building needs some investment to bring it into the 21 century as the furnishings and rooms haven’t been updated since 90s communist times. (Which somewhat make the experience even more unique) Perfect for some who appreciates faded glory and grandeur of the large European hotel of the past. Not a hotel for someone how wishes for creature comforts and modern gadgets Nice simple breakfast/ helpful staff Really enjoy my stay.

Czech RepublicThe bathroom was a disaster and really needs deep cleaning, showering surrounded by mould was not pleasant. Also, shower is open and water goes everywhere plus some tiles are broken. There were clear signs of water infiltration on the maon stair case, give it a fix, would be a pity to let it go to ruin. Heating was too much at night bit there was no way to lower it.
The position is great and all major landmarks/museums are easily accessible from the hotel. It was a pleasure to stay in such a beautiful building, we felt like princes. Bed was very comfortable and staff cordial. Breakfast food was nice but quite standatd for the price.

ItalyThe welcoming by one receptionist. To give me some information it was like asking a beduin to cross the Sahara desert without shoes and water. Once the eye is pleased with the beauty of the facade of the hotel, it is only met with major disappointment in the interiors of the rooms: furniture stuck in the 90s (make it early 90s), just passed the Revolution, and the bathroom is too stuck in those times.
The location is great, right in the centre. The facade of the hotel and the main stairs are very beautiful, styled in the typical Revival asrchitecture.
