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 KingdomIt was like a sauna in our room and we couldn't turn the heating down so we had to leave the windows open the whole time. Didn't like the breakfast. No fried eggs was annoying considering the price of breakfast at £15 per head per day. Spa was a bit rough round the edges
The evening meal was lovely. I liked the bar area and reception decor.

United KingdomUnfortunately the lift wasn’t working and we were on the 3rd floor. This wasn’t an issue at first, but the last flight of stairs were a lot steeper than the rest and I found I became out of breath and had to stop halfway up. On the way down these stairs I did hit my head and there was no sign warning people of this.
Staff were more than helpful

Australiathe lack of information given about restricted access to meals during times when functions were prioritised. we could not access ANY food on Friday night due to a Christmas party. We could not go to sleep until the loud music stopped at midnight! The staff need to realise their facial expressions are visible and communicate their negative thoughts
the rooms were comfortable and clean. the location was good

BelgiumMy bedroom was pleasant, but the bathroom needs a major overhaul. There was no fridge in the room. I could hear my neighbours. The breakfast wasn't very good.
The main pool was closed for maintenance but I was invited to use the spa instead, and that was wonderful, but the pool was too small to do any real swimming. My bed was extremely comfortable.

United KingdomWe had to eat at 6pm ! Along with just 2 other people.as there was a large xmas party at 8.30.! Although that was not what we were told. We were also told a few days before we arrived that the indoor pool was closed. On turning on the shower in Room.34 it came off in my hand. This was my third stay and it was definitely the worst. All the negative information could have been told to us on booking and before we arrived.
Location, the room was clean.
