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.).

NetherlandsThe entrance for pedestrians is a very nice shortcut, but it lacks some allure. No big deal, though.
A very friendly, lively, comfortable hotel. Large enough to have all the facilities and comfort you'd expect, without becoming too massive, noisy, or run down. The rooms are well-kept, the beds are splendid. There's a bus stop right in front of the hotel, and there are plenty of buses going directly from and to the centre and the airport in 10 minutes, every 5 or 10 minutes. (Get a "Rida" card, so you can hop-on/off most bus and tram lines, including the AirLink to the airport.) And one hilarious note: I counted over 40 warning signs in the pool area. :-D

PortugalIt's sad that Holiday Inns don't have a proper pub but a place to buy drinks in an open area.
This is a standard Holiday Inn. The rooms are clean, beds are comfortable and the breakfast is typical of Holiday Inn. It has the added advantage of a swimming pool (which we did not use). There is also easy access to buses in to Edinburgh. Parking was also free although a not easy to find. A short walk up the road and there are a couple of pubs and other eating places.

RomaniaThe amenities inside the room are lacking: no mini-fridge, no toilet brush, no shower hose (the bath tube had only the usual tap). The food from the restaurant was expensive (50£ for two people, one burger and one chicken schnitzel which was stale and old, it seemed refried) ☹️.
I cannot find something that I liked, maybe the wifi connection and the comfortability of the bed. Apart these two, nothing.

United KingdomThe room was too small for 4 people. Needed to be bigger for luggage and have somewhere to sit. One chair isn't enough. The breakfast was not worth the money, no Granola and basic fruit, cheese, and meats. Needed to be refilled but took over 15 minutes to be done when asked.
The staff were very nice and the hotel was only 10 minutes away from the centre of Edinburgh town by bus. Pool and sauna were a bonus.

DenmarkBreakfast was okay, it had the basics. I didn't like the fact that I was told to be charged a higher price for breakfast because I failed to order it in advance. Firstly, I frankly thought that breakfast was included, and that was clearly not the case. Booking.com should made it more apparent when breakfast is or isn't included. Otherwise, you are less than honest brokers. When told to pay a higher price for breakfast for failing to book it in advance, I stomped out of the hotel and got a much nicer breakfast in Costorphine, ten minutes walk from the Hotel. So keep that in mind!!! The hallway was depressingly dark and seemed to need refurbishment of carpets. It is a general problem in the hotel. The water in the tub took a while to heat, probably due to ineffective heating system all over the hotel. The ventilation system in the room woke me op several times. it hums like a propeller airplane quite often and it is unpredictable for how long. It is nerve shattering trying to sleep under such conditions. That said, I actually slept through the noise most nights. The tv was good, big screen and operable.
I liked the Bangaladeshi staff, especially Shahin and Munira. Very nice people. The tv was good, big screen and operable. I liked the double scotch I got in the bar, it was Glenmorangie. No ice!
