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 KingdomParking was a nightmare. It wasn’t the cleanest of hotels. Although it came with a balcony, it didn’t look fit for purpose. The windows were not secure.

NetherlandsNo value for money. Hotel is situated above bars and clubs. Website is not very clear about it. No breakfast option in hotel. You can't get a proper night of sleep, because of the noise from the nightlife below. Earbuds at check in are considerate, but telling for whats to expect.. Room was spacious, but not properly cleaned. Don't recommend.
Location is close and within walking distance of everything

United KingdomRoom was quite dated. VERY loud, there is a restaurant and bar downstairs and as it was very hot and NO AIR CONDITIONING, windows had to be left open. They did provide ear plugs, and frankly this doesn't tend to bother me as much but just be aware when you are booking. I would not return in warm weather (who knew September would have a heat wave?). I bet it's really great in late fall/winter/early spring.
Location was fabulous - view out over the pier was great. Room was okay. Bathroom was updated and great.

SwitzerlandIt was very hot in the room, there was a fan but it gave hardly any relief. And the light on the mirror in the bathroom did not work.
We were supposed to have a room on the first floor, just above the bar. But after my request for another, less noisy room, the receptionist kindly booked us in a room on the 4th floor.

United KingdomThere’s 2 windows , one in the room One in the bathroom - they face directly the houses opposite so really so need privacy screening on, needs to pull the blind down close the curtains to get changed without an audience . Shower lacked power - didn’t really like The wet room but all worked so that’s minor
