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.).

PortugalWhen we checked out, and it was past 9Am already,there was nobody at the counter so the young lady that was taking care of breakfast had to come take care of us. They should have more staff in the morning.
Great location, staff and service. The staff goes out of their way to please you. Rooms are really nice. Breakfast is delicious. Hotel bar a must. Great restaurants and pub a short walking distance away.

United KingdomI went to have a bath and relax after a day of activities and a night dining in Le Monde and then dancing in Shanghai (it was 00:45) and it was at that point I realised that the lovely bath had no plug! My friend misplaced her handbag while tending to my friend who had hit her head when she had tripped on the concrete steps outside the front door, nobody offered any assistance, to either of them, even when made aware of the situation.
The room was beautiful. I was in “Tokyo”. It was quite luxurious. The bathroom had a big rainfall shower and a bath set into the floor with a tv in the wall at the end of it. The bed was very comfortable and the pillows were soft and thick/full. There were two lovely big thick bathrobes to use.

IrelandThere is a hotel bar open until the small hours of the morning on Friday and Saturday which is incredibly loud. The music thumps all the way up the to rooms and the noise doesn't end when the bar closes - if you're not planning to join the party / are not a night owl, this might not be a good hotel for you.
The location is fantastic, the decor is beautiful and the rooms are large. The city theme is lovely.

IrelandThe hotel is over a nightclub so if you're young enough to go to these, good for you, but if you're past them then beware light sleepers....but only a minor complaint and would not turn me off going there again

United KingdomUsing this site in particular it could be a little easier to see what you're getting as the rooms are themed so you'd be booking blind. Better to see on their own site for what's on offer Booking in advance and requesting specifically, they couldn't say for certain whether that room could be given.
Good location. Lots of space with a huge bathroom. After booking and then going on to read complaints of noise I started to have concerns. However, these were either exaggerated or remedied. Managed to get the room type I'd requested. Very clean.
