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 KingdomIt's a London town house so quite noisy when anyone moved around - particularly the people in the room above who were even later than us and arrived at about midnight.
Our check in kept moving as we had problems but the staff remained helpful and welcoming. They were definitely exceptional in helping us the next day as well.

BahrainThe toilet was very low to the ground and difficult for anyone with mobility problems. No snack menu offered -only breakfast (which was brilliant) but would be good to have a basic room service menu with snacks and drinks. Also, there was no mini fridge in the room.
The staff were great - friendly and very helpful. The room was comfortable. The breakfast was superb. Can’t fault the location.

United KingdomRoom temperature was set at 26deg - far too warm for us, and the controls didn't work to turn it down. Resorted to switching the a/c off and leaving the windows open to cool the room down.
Only 10 minute walk from South Kensington tube station. Room was clean and well appointed and the bed very comfortable. The breakfast, although not included in the booking, was excellent.

IrelandI was expecting it to look more like a Georgian house inside. Room was nice but very small. Very small bathroom. a couple of things needed repairing in the room. Breakfast was expensive. We only had granola and yoghurt and a coffee and a fruit plate, 1 piece of toast and orange juice and it was £35. Complimentary coffee in the reception area would have been nice.
Gorgeous Georgian House, a unique place to stay.

United KingdomThe lift was absolutely tiny so only really possible to get one person in at a time unless two of you were very friendly. Whilst the facilities in the main were good, the bathroom suffered from a very small and cramped bath and a leaking basin. A shame as the room was good but small otherwise.
The location of the hotel was ideal for us and the staff were super friendly and helpful. A very clean, smart hotel which fitted a lot into its tiny footprint.

United Statesroom number 23 was just a little tight and as it wasn’t on the same level as the elevator and we are older, we had either go up five stairs, half a floor or down five stairs half a floor, so that was not ideal for our situation
They’ve done a wonderful job converting a London townhouse, however, because it’s a townhouse, the rooms are minuscule (much like you would find in Hong Kong) and very snug but the location cannot be beat - two blocks from the Kings Road, two blocks from the South Kensington underground, there is a lovely little breakfast from eating rum on the lower ground floor, and the entry is warm and cozy and welcoming and the staff are amazing
