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 StatesNOISY ROADWORK STARTS before 7:26am! 4 flights of stairs =62 stairs and no lift! There are floors higher than us too! NO HOT WATER 3 days and NO NEWS WHEN would be REPAIRED& no REFUND given yet!& NOT regularly staffed so if YOUR ENTRY code never sent by email then good luck! We wasted 2 hours of precious vacation afternoon trying to get in and paid $9 waiting to reach someone and only spoke German until I got booking.com involved to help. Also the booking site switched my date to a day forward. System glitching as it showed more rooms still open sane day when I tried to book a second room it ALSO switched my date a day forward! Street is totally DUG UP and not reachable by car, parking $24 is by reservation on an app& also SUPER HARD to get to, I never did even though I tried with google maps and more 3x so we found parking a mile away and walked ALOT
Nearby bakery and sushi(avoid the ramen farther down the block though, it was worst ramen of my life)COLD SHOWERS & they knew heater was broken already 5 days ago SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ON BOOKING Availability at all!

Netherlandseverything smelled old, they tried to make the smell better with toilet air freshener but it didn’t work (made the smell even worse). the bathroom door just fell out as soon as we opened it and the bathroom was really gross, bad cleaning full with mold in the shower. €160 for 1 night is totally not worth this experience, would rather spend the night at the train station for free.

United KingdomIt's basic, but you get what you pay for. Good price for simple, clean by the city centre.
My brother and I wanted a basic room near the centre for a weekend trip, just a place to sleep and drop off our suitcases. It's practical, clean, comfortable and suited our needs. For the price, it was exactly what we were looking for.

GermanyThe bed wasn't clean and when i came back in the room and opened the light, saw a big spider climbing the wall next to the bed (i had closed windows a few hours ago). Managed to kill it but couldn't sleep after that. I will not stay in this place again, that's for sure.
Location was good, the check in worked without problems although i arrived in a late time.

Germanythe room is a bit small, and the sound-proofing of the partitional walls between rooms and hallway wasn't really good.
They provide single rooms for travellers, which are clean and comfortable. The receptor who helped me save problems related to my stuff was kind and patient.

United KingdomA kettle would have been appreciated.
The location was brilliant. A 15 minute walk to the station and cathedral along a pedestrianised street. Plenty of breakfast options locally, and great Asian and Italian restaurants close by. The room was large and clean, with a powerful shower. Very comfortable beds and duvets. Effective double glazing stopped most outside noise.

My mum travelled with me and I was shocked to see no lift and nothing mentioned. She had pain and had to struggle climbing 42 steps on 2nd floor. She counted. I wish more information is given on booking.com

GermanyThe Internet was terrible. I couldn't use it at all and had to use my mobile data the whole time. The room was not sound-isolated. I could hear the neighbors from the next room, which were unfortunately very loud at late evening, even after I knocked at the wall to complain. It was super difficult to get the right water temperature in the shower. In the last morning, only boiling water came out.
The location of the hotel was perfect. One could quickly walk to the city center, supermarkets, or to the Chocolate Museum by the river bank. The room was basic, not like a 4 stars hotel, but it works.
