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 KingdomThere was a power cut in the middle of the night which we wasn't aware of. Apparently it was planned.... Next day we all received letters under our doors advising of the works. It sounded like the door became unlocked in the night. I was in the room on my own, very scared. Hotel phones not working and pitch black corridors

AustraliaWe stayed in the king room, my only complaint is that the bed was 2 king singles pushed together, there was no mattress topper which was strange. Beds were still comfy but my husband and I were very aware that we were separated by a gap. We still slept well and everything else was great.
Location, breakfast was delicious…loved the added touch of choice of eggs on request and a menu to choose from + buffet. Staff were also lovely.

IrelandThe staff of this hotel were amazing and so accommodating. We asked for an early check in due to health reasons and Ryanair changing our flights to a very early flight. The staff were so helpful and we really wished to thank them for this. Rooms were gorgeous, the bed was very comfy. The hotel has been refurbished recently. We would definitely recommend staying here. Great location for exploring the old town, the breakfast is good aswell. Thank you very much to the staff at the Marriott.

United KingdomIt was a mother daughter trip and it would have been nice to have separate beds rather than a king size. But the bed was very comfortable.car park nearby was very expensive even with the hotel discount more info about this would have meant we could have found an alternative.
Great sized room with a lovely shower, nice tea and coffee station with a fridge so we could keep milk in for tea rather than the little plastic cup things. Great location just outside a lot of the main attractions.
