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 StatesThis critique is a bit nit-picky because the PROS far outweight the CONS. Other than front desk staff, most didn't speak English. But, then again, it is a Spanish speaking country and I didn't speak Spanish. The rooms all face into an open air court yard, most with only interior view windows. It can get noisy if there is an event anywhere on the premises. Our toilet wouldn't flush and we had to call maintenance twice. The third time was 10:00 PM and the on-duty staff couldn't fix it so they sent us to another room to sleep for that night. It was fixed when we returned to our room in the morning. So it was a problem, but they did their best to fix it and keep us comfortable.
I liked a lot about this hotel! LOCATION !! We walked to everything in the historic, Colonial Zone, including some amazing restaurants in the evening. Breakfast Coffee & croissant complementary and delicious and $ Breakfast in lobby also very good - egg chef cooks to order. Boutique feel to the hotel - beautiful spaces and art, sunny courtyard for lounging and dinning, small but cozy rooftop pool with bar, tables and a couple of lounging spaces. ( they served Valentines dinner poolside with music the night we were there). It is a small hotel - you can look up from the open-air court yard and pretty much see all the rooms. Staff were all very accommodating. Very clean and well maintained. They front desk hooked us up with a driver who works for them ( Felix ) who was WONDERFUL.

United StatesI really wanted to give the hotel a 5 but the internet was spotty going off and on for the entire 4 days that I was there. So the internet coverage was horrible. Also, while we were there, they had 2 weddings going on in the courtyard, which we were not told about. I would have like to have had our room on the wings of the hotel away from all the activities. The refrigerator in the room also was working properly. Would I stay again, Mmmm, not so sure. Perhaps if the price is good.
The location was good and I felt safe. The staff was very friendly. Also the breakfast was pretty good.

FranceMost staff were amazing and very welcoming and helpful, but as we arrived we found out someone who tried to take advantage of us by giving us another room than the one booked via Booking, which he mentioned only once he made me pay the room I did book. Evidently, he said it was an "upgrade" but when I replied it's fine we don't need an upgrade I just want the room I booked, then started a long exchange about how much the new room was good and me maintaining I wanted the room I chose - to eventually understand that it was already occupied by someone else. I found that he had a lot of nerves to make us believe it was our day of luck while changing the reservation without telling us. It's not the first time this happens to me in RD but I was expected more respect from one of the most luxurious hotels in town. Then in return, his colleague came to help and resolve the case, we accepted the other room and they offered us a massage each. But the other guy never apologized. This is not a nice vibe when you arrive in a USD200+/night hotel, where you're supposedly coming to relax.
We liked the pool on the rooftop, the buffet for breakfast was nice too and we tested the spa, which was really good (the masseuse is great!). The location is perfect too to go and explore la Zona Colonial.

Multiple amenities such as rooftop pool, spa, and a lot of options for breakfast, lunch and dinner in their various restaurants and bars on-site.

SwedenThe sound-proofing of the windows is zero to none, and as our room was facing an outdoor sitting area, there was some disturbance. However, no noise late at night.
The hotel is perfectly located in the historic centre of Santo Domingo. It is neat and clean. The bathroom was spacious and nice. The room itself had a nice design, and very comfortable bed.

CuraçaoChristmas eve diner was served by the rooftop bar/ restaurants, no lights, no candles, no table decoration. The server did not offer water, wine, coffee or thee and were not available to ask for something to drink. The hotel was short on Handtowels apparently. No bathroomfloormats. The towelrack was loose and was not fixed during our stay. The electricity cord of the coffeemaker was dangerously damaged. Streaming via television did not work most of the time. Curtains and wires of lamps in the room full of dust. The bedside lamps were like desk lamps fixed to the wall, not staying in desired position.
Several churches close by to attent christmas services. Coffee shop with good coffee and pastries next door also open on December 24&25th. Hotel was convenient located, walking distance to the colonial centre. Jacuzzi outside our room was awesome. Front desk staff was very helpful with advice about excursions, places to visit etc.

ChileNext to my room there were people walking and making noise (inside the property), you could see their shapes through the blinds... that made the atmosphere less private. The phone was not working so when I needed a razor I had to go downstairs to ask for it. The toilet flush was working a bit weird, making excessive noise.
This is a very convenient hotel, very nicely decorated, and well-maintained, in line with the colonial area where it is located at. The location is just perfect, close to good restaurants, museums, parks. The staff is friendly and helpful, waiters were very polite. Everything seems to be safe, including the neighborhood. The room was nice and comfortable.

United StatesThe towel bar in the shower fell off, and the shower was hard to regulate as far as hot water. But overall, it was fantastic!
The location was excellent! The hotel itself was spectacular. It was clean, the air conditioning was great, all services were fast and friendly. The staff was very courteous and spoke English (a big help)! The breakfast was varied and quick. The veranda in the room was private and a pleasure to sit out there at night. I felt safe there, even sitting in the outside dining area at night. Bravo, Billini Hotel!
