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.).

Hong KongIt doesn't make me fell secure as the same key is used to open the main door and my room. That means all guests in the same building has the same key to open all rooms. It will be great if the hotel has separated keys provided to open the main door and the room, and insert locks in the room so that people from the outside cannot open the room at night.
The bed is conformtable, and the view is beautiful and convenient. Thank you for hosting!

SwedenThe worse part was the shower. No water pressure at all from the shower. I have long hair and it was really annoying. Also, for the price I would have expected some conditioner.
Perfect location with many options in the public transport. Close to airport and city center (30min walking, 15min tram). Big room with free options of coffee and tea (amd cookies) available on the room. It was also great having a mini fridge in the room. Beds were big and it was great to have an extra bed for my 2 years old son. Some hotels just assume/expect he would just sleep with us. There were many restaurants closed by which was also really handy. Scottish breakfast was delicious although I was missing more options in the buffet and lactose free milk could have also been an advantage. As an overall, I loved our stay there. Nice hotel, nice people and great time.

Location is fantastic, literally 2 mins walk from bus and tram. Very comfortable bed, rooms is toasty, nice hot strong shower. Great WiFi signal in the room, big screen TV. Many restaurants nearby, we tried a few and all are yummy. Also a tesco express just round the corner. I booked well in advance, so it’s great value too. If you have heavy suitcase, be warned that’s no lift.

IrelandOverall I was happy with the hotel, so I don't have anything to add here.
Hotel is accessible to the city centre by a number of buses and the tram. There are lots of little cafes in the area, if you decide not to include breakfast in your booking although there is an option to eat breakfast in the hotel. We paid for a superior room and it was spacious, clean and comfortable. I would definitely stay here again.

United KingdomThe pillows were very firm and although I had a choice of four my friend and I both had problems with our necks and could not get comfortable. The rooms could do with a little bit of refreshing but nothing major
The property was close to the station and tram stops. It was over four properties which was fine once allocated a room. We had one in the basement but it was secure and accessible. The bathroom was very nice with a large shower and was clean and comfortable. We had a nice room with a coffee machine and hairdryer provided along with a kettle and tea/coffee facilities. There was a bar if wanted and the breakfast room was lovely decorated nicely and comfortable

United Statesno real parking options but this seems like an Edinburgh thing than a hotel issue.
Room was great. It was convenient and on the main floor which is good and bad since we could hear all the people coming and going in the late/early hours of the day, this is simply because its a beautiful old building and not as sound proof as newer hotels.

IrelandThe bed make up was a bit weird- room 55 - covers over the out of line 2 bases angling and draping everywhere. It made me a bit suspicious of the cleanliness and comfort of the bed- which actually ended up being fine !
I'm autistic and the busyness, electronic noise , echoes of big hotels can be overwhelming. A series of houses worked much better - specially because I was in a top room.
