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 KingdomWe were not overly impressed with the breakfast, alot of the tables were dirty and it was hard to find a member of staff to get a basic thing such as a spoon. The food itself was good although the scrambled egg was very bland. We couldn't drink the coffee because it was so bitter, so we ended up getting a Costa en route to the train station.
The room itself was clean and well equipped for our needs, the bed was also extremely comfortable and it was quiet. The Towels had been shaped into swans on the bed, which was a nice touch. However, I would recommend it more for a business trip than a romantic stay.

Serbiagood hotel. The entrance to the shower and sockets in the room are a little inconvenient. but these are minor things. location next to the underground and architectural monuments. We couldn’t attend breakfast because we always left early, so the staff prepared food for us at the hotel. This is a nice concern.

JapanThere is only instant coffee in the room and very limited bathroom amenities (lotions, soaps, creams, etc.), but for the price range in London, this might be standard.
I stay here about two weeks per year when working in London. It is a very convenient location and a friendly atmosphere. The staff are always very nice.

NetherlandsThere were some things that I didn't particularly enjoy. - the plug adaptor was for sale - 6 pounds each. I found it a bit expensive... They could maybe provide some instead. - it's a personal preference, but I dislike carpets on the floor in hotel rooms. I find it extremely unhygienic since you can't properly keep them clean especially after each check-out. - our room was a bit small, I was expecting a spacier one. Although the bed was comfortable! - gym was very small and the multi-machine wasn't properly working.
-Staff were friendly and helpful. -Cozy bar with a nice atmosphere. -Nice breakfast. -Location was perfect (for my purpose) and you could either walk around to landmarks or just take the tube.

NetherlandsThe only thing was my view - which was a construction site with cranes etc. But as I was out the whole day and didn't book it for the view, it didn't matter to me and I would stay here again without any hesitation.
The location was top-notch!! The hotel was nice and cozy, the staff was welcoming and friendly, and the room was well-equipped and big. Key tourist attractions, restaurants, supermarkets and city centre within walking distance or easily accessible with public transport or taxi (Tate Museum - South Bank area - Borough Market - London Bridge - Big Ben etc.)

United KingdomThe only issue was the AC/heating system was having issues across the hotel which meant my room was constantly around 26 degrees which was a bit uncomfortable for sleeping at night to be honest.
Staff were super friendly, location was really great and near transport links as well as many bars/restaurants/coffee shops and grocery stores.

United KingdomI didn't enjoy the frequent yapping of the dog in the room opposite mine during the afternoon/evening, but at least it shut up during the night. And all hotel showers really should have clear written instructions because they are never obvious to figure out.
The water dispenser in the corridor was a nice idea. Likewise, separate sections in the bin for recycling and normal rubbish. A usable fridge of a decent size! Most importantly, a comfortable bed.
