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.).

Czech RepublicThe furniture was insufficient and/or falling apart. The desk or table was very tiny and wobbly, so working on laptop and having a tea or coffee at the same time was quite challenging. There was no wardrobe or closet so for seven days again quite challenging to deal with all clothes one needs ... The breakfast not bad but do not expect any fried eggs or bacon ... still basically OK. On checkout I was not given printed invoice/receipt because the printer did not work??!! If someone wants my money I expect this automatically without any excuses.
A quiet location. Overall clean.

AustraliaThe only material criticism worth mentioning is the room size, which was very small, As frequent travellers we encounter all sorts and are not terribly fussy but in this situation there was not enough room to open two suitcases and still move about with comfort. We managed, of course, and as a value proposition would still recommend the hotel, but it will work best for light travellers!
Location in amazing, very close to the Palace but also quiet. There was free parking in the street for the month of August, which was a great stroke of luck for us. The hotel was neat and clean and the staff wonderfully friendly and helpful. Breakfast at the hotel was also very good.

BelgiumThe room was rather small (I guess 3x3m²), the bathroom as well. There was only one small pillow for my bed. Not much room for anything else really. There was still trash from the previous owner inside of the bin. The tables for breakfast were a bit sober and sad, the food itself was good with fresh croissants and pain au chocolat.
I liked the location, it's only 15min away from the castle by foot, the surroundings are quiet. The staff was friendly, we shared a few good laughs.

United StatesParking. The hotel was billed as having free parking - one of the reasons we chose this hotel. However, well after booking, we found that there were limited spots on a first come / first serve. Our flight was delayed for hours and hours so we had no spot to park after a very long and frustrating travel day. Either the hotel or booking.com should detail that there are only 9 spots of parking for more than 20 rooms in the hotel.
Fantastic Location! Walking distance to the Palace at Versailles! Great bed and the breakfast was wonderful - I could have eaten away the morning! Very typically small Paris hotel room but very comfortable! Nice bed, great shower (tiny bathroom!) and very quiet (YAY)!

United StatesI wished our rooms were on the same floor - but it was probably difficult to arrange for a room for 2 and a room for 3 close to each other. Our children our older so it worked perfectly fine, but our preference would have been to be on the same floor.
We enjoyed our stay at Hotel des Lys. The staff was friendly and courteous. We arrived early and they held our bags until our rooms were available while we ventured around the Versailles area. They also arranged our cab for us when we left - which was great because we are a family of 5 and needed a bigger taxi. The people at reception spoke multiple languages - one spoke French, English, Arabic, Italian, and German. The hotel room was quaint, but it was clean. This hotel is close to a market, restaurants, bakeries, Chateau Versailles, and the train station. We ventured to the bakeries the prices were great and the pasteries delicious. We did not eat at the cafes, but the prices were similar to restaurants at the US. We ate a a small pizza place without the cafe ambiance, but inexpensive and close to the hotel, and loved that the pizza was similar to Flam Kuchen. We also found a grocery store close by and bought some fruit and drinks there.
