How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

The breakfast is adequate, get up early if you want fresh breakfast, otherwise all good , cereal, coffee toast , a selection of meat and cheese.
The hotel was very convenient to the airport as we had a one night stay and moved on by train to Marseille. The shuttle was very good and arrived ten minutes after we called for it. The train station is a short walk from the hotel five minutes . the hotel is quiet and the rooms are well laid out.

It was good for an overnight stay with breakfast included.
Location was good for an overnight stay because it was close to the airport where we would pick up our rental car the following day. The free shuttle from airport to hotel was perfect.

Ambiance for dinner in the sister hotel across the road was not very good: there was quite a noisy crowd in the reception/bar area to navigate to reach the dining area. Tables in the dining area were very close together and the evening menu choice was quite limited. Dining area rather basic in style, but clean enough. Self service breakfast was acceptable with reasonable choice.
Found hotel (and its sister hotel across the road) no problem and parking was no problem. Waiter was friendly and helpful.

Shuttle bus only operates after 5, which means you have to pay around 25 euros for a taxi. They could also do with more milk sachets in the room. There was only enough to make one drink, even though there were two of us.
Staff helpful. Sent a shuttle bus to collect us, after we alerted them by phone of our arrival. They ordered a morning taxi for us, as our flight was before the commencement of the shuttle service. €25 , which was expensive for the 5 min ride. Had a great breakfast prepared to take away with us as our flight was very early. Rooms are clean and comfortable. You can't hear planes from the room, even with window open. The reception desk man who was on the morning shift was more pleasant than the guy on the night shift. The sister hotel over the road does a delicious evening meal. Pleasant staff too. There is a shop and restaurant about 150 metre walk from the hotel which is handy. I would stay here again.

We had twin beds. One of the beds was missing a nightstand. The reading lamp was also missing from the wall and needs to be re installed.
It was very convenient from Marseilles airport. We arrived late and navigated to it easily in our car. The night clerk was waiting. There are two Holiday Inn's across the street from one another. The Express is on your LEFT. The breakfast was good, a little bit of everything.

Personally, we prefer separate duvet in the bed. French hotels do not. Only French speaking channels available on TV. I know, the French are a proud people.
Airport shuttle is excellent, available almost around the clock. Only 5 minutes, door-to-door. Breakfast included and selection is quite rich. Already from 6 AM, so you could also catch your early flight.

Tried to contact from courtesy bus point at Marseille Airport three or four times - message cut off, or no reply, Succeeded on last attempt, but unfinished conversation. Totally uncertain if they'd turn up. Also - very thirsty on arrival: 33 cl ordinary water in a can from vending machine - 3.5 euros. Also not exactly their fault, but exceedingly windy on night I stayed: top floor corner room was so noisy with gusty wind and also cold draughts, I couldn't sleep for 4 hours.
Relatively inexpensive; clean, simple, comfortable accommodation. Staff generally are very friendly.
