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.).

CyprusWe were woken up at 8:20 at morning by drill outside but it's not hotel's fault.
Good hotel, nice spacious room, very comfy bathroom with shower and bath tub together. Separated toilet which is crucial for us (one can take a bath when other is in toilet). Didn't try breakfast. Staff is nice and helpful, there is storage room for luggage. Location is perfect for tourists.

United KingdomThere was no sitting area. Having to pre-choose the breakfast and timing was a bit constraining. And it was expensive.
The room had everything you needed, was well designed and very comfortable. It was very centrally located and was very quiet. (Our room didn’t overlook the river).

NetherlandsWe reserved a junior suite for 3 adults which meant that one had to sleep on the large sofa bed. It is a really big sofa bed, but the mattress was horrible. It was so soft and denned in the middle that in the second night the one sleeping on the sofa bed decided to completely sleep at the better supported end of the bed which was the headpiece and about 25% of the space. Additionally, it was impossible to turn off the A/C in the room. It was always on heating or cooling, except for when the windows were (both!) opened. The person sleeping on the sofa bed was also sleeping in the ventilation of this A/C. Because it is carnival season and there is a karaoke pub located opposite the hotel, we could not open the windows at night, because it was too noisy outside.
The hotel is super central, close to public transport and the river side as well as shopping. There are quite many pubs, restaurants and bars around, however, I would recommend to ask the hotel staff or people around of the same age group for advice. We found ourselves a little lost between relatively old tourists and locals in the pubs. Caution: If you are coming for the weekend, shops are closed on Sundays!! The breakfast is a la carte and the hotel asks to kindly mark your breakfast options on the menu and put it in front of your room door before 6:30AM. I personally found it really worth the money. Because we were three persons on the room, we made a little mistake while marking our breakfast on the menu, so it was not prepared, however, the kitchen was super fast in correcting the mistake. We really liked how quiet the hotel was and that we had everything in walking distance. The facilities were very clean and tidy.

IrelandWe left our bags for a couple of hours before check in was actually available to us (we were early). So surprised when the final bill had a charge for this - especially when the facility was offered and no mention made of there being a charge.
Location - large room - great shower. Hotel was quiet (not busy & restaurant closed during our stay). Were not concerned about the restaurant - there are plenty in the area. We picked this hotel for its location near to Christmas markets and cathedral . Proximity to the train station was also a bonus - (on departure just walked to the station for a train to the airport).

IrelandBreakfast was only okay. Our eggs Benedict had way too much Hollandaise on it. Pillows on the beds were an odd shape and very very soft which was a bit awkward to sleep on.
Excellent location - so close to the cathedral and nearby Christmas markets. Nice bar with good service. Looked like a lovely beer garden out the side of the building. Room was a good size with nice view of the Rhine. Good size bathroom. Shower was very nice. Helpful staff.
