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.).

Reception doesn't answer a buzz and waited ages to be let in to check in. Reception girl said I'm not booked then found out I'm booked but they left me keys in a locker which I didn't have a code for as theyveidnt send one then decided to finally cut another key ! Had to go up and down 3 times to reset the room key to work. Same thing next day No towels provided next day

United KingdomThere was very limited cutlery and crockery in the communal kitchens. Our group of 10 people ended up sharing cups and plates. Didn't see any glasses at all. The pre-check-in process was a bit confusing for a group of 10 people as each person had to check-in individually. Having struggled through this I was quite worried about how the physical check-in might go but that was actually very smooth.
Fantastic location and the rooms and public areas were all great. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Loved the free coffee machine in the reception area.

United KingdomThe room was dirty. It had stained towels in the shower. There are no staff to speak to. They make me miss my friends who were leaving because I couldn't have a shower because the staff didn't arrive until 10am! The bathroom fan was running 24/7 so I couldn't sleep and the dran was beside the bed so I could here everyone going to the toilet all night.
It wasn't to far to walk to places.

AustraliaFirst experience counts & mine was disgusting. Upon check-in I walked into an unmade room, with dirty bed linen, towels & rubbish across the room, including empty wine bottles. No reception means you need to call a number where you are on hold for 10-15mins as they try to get hold of someone. After 2 unsuccessful attempts to do so, I was told to either go find another hotel (at 9.45pm during a long weekend) or essentially suck it up! After 10pm I was offered another room by someone who was obviously a student in the building but ‘working’ for them, which while made-up, had a nauseating smell & gnats, which wasn’t helped by the fact bins aren’t provided so your rubbish stays in the room. I’m STILL waiting for a manager to contact me & I’m STILL waiting for my compensation for the terrible experience and time it took to rectify.
Nothing! Don’t stay here!

United KingdomPoor communication when booking, emails and phone calls are not returned. Made me anxious on my way over. Rooms not the warm ones as advertised- white, not inviting. Shared kitchen didn't have equipment to cook. Mouldy, sour bread and milk in the fridge, over a month out of date. Obviously not cleaned. Stagnant water and rubbish on the balcony outside the room. Shared kitchen area downstairs no equipment. No knife to cut my avocado, no plates, no cups etc Asked reception for some toilet roll, non in the loo, she ignored my request. I had to go over again to ask, she had put the roll on a chair, expecting me to replenish it. This accomodation offer needs to reflect that if it's offered out to non students for revenue then the customer is expecting what's advertised. It wasn't cheap at £139 for the night.

Chinanot a pleasant experience, just a very basic student accommodation. feel like being cheated. 89.68 pounds for a night is just not worth it. When i reserved the room, it was not this much. Somehow cleaning and tax pops up later,then round up to almost 90. To not lose the reservation fee and save myself trouble, I decide to just check in. Somehow no check in procedure is sent to me but a check out is sent out before I checked in. A student helps me to get in and no reception service. Through message,it says toothbrush is included, but when i make the phone call, iam told toothbrush is not included… many basic things are not included… no cup, no slippers. There is a kitchen but utensils cannot be used as they are students‘… it is better to choose a guesthouse than this.

i was met by Carly when I arrived and she was super sweet! I went straight to the Titanic and she printed a map out for me so I wouldn't get lost. And she took my luggage into my room. Before I left, she gave me the number to ring in case I got back late and had questions or lost !! The location is central and I was able to walk almost everywhere I wanted to visit.

BelgiumThis is not really a hotel, rather a student place. The wardrobe has no hangers, the furniture is very basic. My room was very cold when I arrived (it was snowing outside) and the only heating was provided by a small electrical heater that I had to turn on manually and that automatically switched off after a while. The ventilator in the bathroom is always on and it is very noisy; when I asked the reception whether they could do something about it, they replied that it was a structural problem of the building and that there was nothing to be done. Although in principle somebody should be at the reception as from 8am, when I left my room at 9am nobody was around. When I called the telephone number to check if I could leave my luggage in the storage room, they answered that they could only come to the hotel at 9.30. Since I had an appointment and could not wait for 30 minutes, I had to take my luggage with me. All this for 183€ for one night. I would definitively not recommend this place for a stay in Belfast.
The room was clean and the bed comfortable.
