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.).

GreeceThe only downside was the temperature. Occasionally, the room felt a bit chilly.
Excellent positioning, just a short stroll from both the city center and central station. The staff was amazing—friendly, helpful, and responsive to all our inquiries, offering valuable suggestions. Numerous restaurants in the area. The sauna on the top floor was a delightful experience. The breakfast options were extensive and fantastic. The reception area was impressive, and we appreciated the secure luggage storage during check-out. The bar also stood out positively as well.

Good location - easy to access the city center and the central train station. Very close to metro and to one of the biggest shopping malls. Nice and clean room with a nordic minimalistic design.

GermanyThe room size was great and everything was very clean, but the bathroom size was unacceptable. It was the first time I had such a tiny bathroom at Helka. You basically had to sit on the toilet to use the sink, barely enough space to stand. Half a meter more and it would have been perfect.
The location and hotel are great. I stayed here a couple of times before. Great breakfast, cool design and comfy rooms.

FinlandThe aircon was making lots of sound, which did not really bother. You could hear water dripping in the aircon pipes. The corridoors to rooms could have also similar pink/ artsy feeling than the foyer of the elevators, now they were white and darkish.
Great location, nice a bit different hotel and small details in the room were nice and made the hotel unique and stand out (small gift. Metal cups, picture in the ceiling). Breakfast was great, soaps were nice smelling. I would go again.

FinlandThe breakfast was very good and included many options, especially healthy ones, but I would have liked to have more options of dark or wholegrain bread and Finnish salmon, which I usually expect in Finnish hotels.
The hotel has its unique style, which I appreciated a lot (the design in the corridors, inspirational quotes, colourful kitchenware, dark towels, etc). The staff was very helpful and friendly, the room was clean and comfortable, basic equipment provided, the sauna was warm enough.

NorwayIt was a bit loud between rooms and between hallway and rooms. The breakfast porridge and espresso based coffee drinks were bland and tasteless, presumably because they were based on lactose free milk as standard.
The overt and clear way the hotel was working towards being a LGBTQI+ friendly and otherwise inclusive and safe-space. The in-house resturant! The included morning and afternoon sauna. The minimalist, yet cosy, interior of the room - and the stark contrast to the over-the top, colourful and flamboyant decor of common areas. Chromecast in all rooms.
