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.).

LatviaI would recommend to focus more on quality over quantity at breakfast and dinner. There were a lot of options, but some of them were quite bad (although there were good and mediocre options as well). We also wanted cups to be brought to our room, but after multiple times of asking, never received them (we were not allowed to take them from cafeteria). Perhaps there should be an area for people who want to enjoy a more quiet stay - there was a lot of music and other loud noises.
Great, beautiful location, spacious rooms, a wide variety of foods served at breakfast and dinner. A lot of space for sunbathing, swimming, etc.

EstoniaSome small observations: Room was like an apartment and at the same time not like apartment. There was something like kitchen corner, but you were not able/allowed to use it as kitchen. Somehow confusing situation. Pool opening hours - I prefer to swim early morning or late at the evening.
OK place. Parking easily possible. WiFi worked well when I needed ( early morning). Three pools, one with heating. Noisy entertainment in little-bit separated place - not disturbing. Breakfast -OK. Staff - friendly.

The ladies in the wellness centre also deserve a mention as we had a lovely sauna and massage experience with them too!

LatviaCheck-in. Even if you fill in all the lengthy online checkin forms, you'll still have to spend some 10-15 minutes at the front desk and sign a few papers before they let you in. Maybe I wouldn't feel so annoyed about it, if I hadn't fallen asleep kid on my arms on arrival. Some other details could be improved. Like introducing toilet paper holder, or upgrading room with a decent hair drier.
Nice pools, good breakfast, decent hotel apartment, good pressure in shower. If you're not a picky person, when it comes to details, place is very ok.

SloveniaThe part where the receptin is looks newer and cleaner, but the buildings where the rooms are could get any renovation or even cleaning (the outside hallways). There were also only sheets on the bed, and we were cold so we ask for extra blankets. We get the blankets withous cover - i didnt like that. Everything else was ok.

RomaniaThere was a bad stale smell when we entered the room. The room was cleaned once more, but the smell reappeared after a few hours. We were surprised that we didn't find any cutlery or dishes/glasses, even though there was a kitchen in the open space.
The breakfast was great, with plenty of choice, delicious food and even tasty local treats. The beds were confortable. The rooms spacious and bright, cosy and confortable.

United KingdomStaff at reception could be much better, we waited over 20 mins to get our keys with no apology for the delay. Wifi is slow and virtually unusable in the rooms. They've removed the open air part of the restaurant which is a real shame, its now a noisy concrete tube!
Good range of food on offer at the buffet restaurant and lots of other options at the pool bar. Good gym and pool, not too busy and no fighting over sunbeds when we were there! Massive comfy beds and good sized rooms. Handy courtesy room for your last day.

SwedenPool was not heated, staff in reception unfriendly, quality of the food low and all the time french fries and other deep-fried food.
We chose this hotel because it was in good location and it was supposed to have a heated pool and activities for children. When we arrived we found out the heating of the pool would start in 2 days and later on we were told it would start in the end of November (after we would have already gone home!). So during our stay we did not get to enjoy the heated pool. There are a lot of pools to choose from but none of them is heated before December and the water is freezing cold, even the water in childrens' pool. We were also disappointed in the quality of the food in the snack bar & restaurant, there is a lot of variety but quality is bad and food is cold. We got food poisoning during the first two days. The staff in the reception in general is unfriendly and uninformative but the staff in the restaurant is happy and welcoming! Hotel does not accept Amex even though it says so in booking.com. Activities like minidisco for children start very late, just at 20:30 or 21. Area is nice and rooms are very spacious and relatively clean.
