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.).

GreeceThe price was a bit high and could have included breakfast.
I stated for a single night. The room was very clean and comfortable. The hotel provided towels and toiletries. The room had coffee, tea bags, and Belgian chocolate. The location of the hotel was near the Haymarket train station and was very convenient. Buses to the airport were also running by. Overall, a pleasant stay.

BermudaThe trash bins across the road, outside the substation, are unsightly. The chips served with the evening meal could be better. The cleaning of the tables could be done better if the cleaning spray was put onto a cloth out of sight instead of spraying every where.
The breakfast was good but the croissants were not as good later in the week as the first ones that I had there. The staff are all very friendly.

United KingdomWe went during the easter period and that might have influence the price, but I guess the relation value/cost is a bit excessive. Other than that we have no negative points about this place!
Very nice hotel located few steps away from Princess St., as well as from the Castle entrance. The room was clean and comfortable, and the hotel staff were very kind and nice with us. The place is clean and tidy and all suppliances are given. Very good experience.

IrelandThere was no music when we went for a few drinks, not even background music. Bed felt like you were sliding off the side which was strange. I also believe that it was very pricy for a hotel that is 20-25 mins away from city centre
Breakfast and food in general very good, loved the contemporary look of the room and hotel. Most of the staff was helpful and friendly, jacuzzi in room was nice and relaxing too

In a great location, close to main shopping etc but not right next to the hustle and bustle. The value for money was fab, for being such a gorgeous hotel. So beautiful and so clean. The staff we dealt with were all so lovely, from reception, the cleaning staff and Breakfast team. The breakfast was amazing.
