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 StatesOur stay was absolutely amazing! The place was absolutely magical because of its location and staff. Breakfast was the best part of the day. Staff were so hospitable and pleasant. Geniunly 5 stars service! We checked in to our 1st room which had some issues with the bathroom. I contacted the onsite manager and they were super fast and efficient to change our room to a better one with an even better view. When we moved to the new room we found a fruit basket with an apology letter on the table. Overall it was one of the best hotel experiences we've ever had. Defiantly coming back next year!

IrelandI would have liked it if the cigars were available in the Royal bar. I was told they were downstairs. Never got around to finding them.
It was a real treat to stay in the Winter Palace. The garden area was stunningly beautiful and I really enjoyed the Royal bar. The rooms were comfortable and the WIFI was consistently good. Also the breakfast buffet was exceptional.

Fantastic historic building with friendly staff (much better than the Hilton in Luxor), beautiful rooms and a wonderful garden. A true oasis and ideal location to explore Valley of the Kings & Karnak. We don’t quite get the ‘it’s dated’ comments. Truly charming and the rooms are fresh and modern

United KingdomNo separate shower - only a shower head in the bath. The historic front room directly overlooks the main road along the Corniche so you can hear the noisy traffic. The pool area does not seem to fit the ethos of the main old building: it's like the pools in many modern family resorts. The hotel is expensive given these drawbacks.
Stayed in the historic main building, which for the most part does preserve the elegance and charm of a bygone era. Our room was spacious with high ceilings and a great view over the Nile. Nice breakfasts in an elegant setting. Beautifully peaceful, well kept gardens.

United KingdomMaybe some of the electrics, door keys could be updated, however, the Winter Palace reflects everything about the era it represents; the environment and experience is a comfortable step back into luxury.
The rooms at the Winter Palace are fantastic, comfortable and very clean; breakfast has everything you need to set you off on your day and the staff everywhere are very welcoming, warm and helpful.

RussiaStaff is attending and approachable. However we had an issue with minibar when check out… was asked to pay for something we did not take (be careful), then it always solved but nobody even excused. you do not expect it in such a hotel(
Location is central. Historic building with amazing garden (trees, flamingos, pool etc). All furniture and decoration moves you to the old days) everything was comfortable, however you should be ready for old and a bit dusty facilities. Old Cataract in Aswan is the same age but looks much modern and luxury. Breakfast is good in a nice place.

United StatesBreakfast location: La corniche: restaurant till midnight breakfast hall starting 5.30, some details about hygiene are missed. Fryer stand is nearly in the middle of the hall, no aspirator hood exists. Smell of burned oil reaches to the rooms at the second floor and it was very heavy at the breakfast hall. Restaurants in the hotel are expensive with respect to the ones in Luxor, however have much lower price with respect to the restaurants with the same quality in Europe or USA.
Location, garden and atmosphere of the hotel, wonderful staff (Mr Rashid and Mr Mohammad Ali were very helpful and kind). An exceptional palace hotel which itself is an historical monument
