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.).

GreeceProbably thin walls, while in a quiet area, it felt noisy at times. The breakfast was limited in options, but everything was super fresh and tasty. It could however be even better if it included just some extra egg options and filter coffee.
Very friendly and helpful staff. Location was perfect for an urban stay, located in the center yet in a quiet neighborhood. The bed was very comfortable, the room super clean and the bathroom was very nice. Provided luggage lockers were definately a bonus, since we did not properly sync our arrival to the check-in hours. Overall a value-for-money experience!

United KingdomNice quiet hotel, easy reach from bus station and easy walk to all major museums and bus stops for out of town sites. No pressure from hotel reception, all very calm casual and polite. Added breakfasts to stay once at hotel and easy to pay on checkout. Rooms adequate and wasn't expecting or looking for 4star luxury. Comfy quiet little hotel. Excellent eating in small tavernas nearby.

BelgiumThe breakfast is served in a not too welcoming basement room and a bit on the meager side choice wise. It is cheap though and may be more that enough for your needs.
Super helpful and friendly staff that went out of their way to help us out with the bus schedule going inland. Located in a quiet part of the old town, very close to bars and restaurants without being bothered by the noise.

Easy to arrive from bus station by foot and child friendly hotel is near everything. 👌 Fantastic staff! Our room (without a balcony) was on the first floor, ideal for prams. Good for two nights! Mini fridge was already cold when we arrived.

AustriaShower didn't have any curtains or doors so the bathroom floor was wet always after the shower.
We stayed there only for 1 night. Room was quite small for 4 people but it was manageable as we slept there only for a night. It is a good place stay when you have a early morning ship to board from the port.

This is a quiet little hotel tucked away in a back street. It's not new but the rooms are a good size, have everything that you need and are well maintained. Great location 5 minutes walk to the center of town.

ItalyThe room was a bit too small for 2 people. It would have been ok for 1 person, but moving around in 2 people was a bit of a struggle. In order to gain space, maybe they can add some hangers to put your stuff.
Excellent position: just at the end of the historical city centre, so not too noisy but also at 10 m walk from the Morosini fountain. One extra point for the staff, in particular the concierge, who was extremely kind and helpful. Also the breakfast was good and rich.

New ZealandNice, clean hotel and great value for money! The staff were so friendly and the location was great near the waterfront, a parking builiding nearby that costs 8 euro for 24 hours and it is a short stroll to the old centre. It had a mini fridge, comfy beds, nice bathroom with plenty of towels. It exceeded my expectations for a basic 4-bed room. I would definitely recommend!

GermanyThere was no elevator and I had to carry the stroller up on the very small and steep stairs. But the great staff offered help anyway. It’s also not their fault with the elevator as the building is so small and the layout doesn’t allow to have one. Wasn’t a big deal in the end. The breakfast was really simple. The orange juice is some yellow water with sugar. But that’s what I had everywhere in Greece so far if it wasn’t a five star hotel and the price of the breakfast was around 20€ + per person. In the end we wanted to have something to survive the time until noon for lunch and it did the job. I’m just writing this for the statistics of the pro‘s and con‘s.
The room itself was simple and small but everything was made pretty clever and useful (lighting possible from just a bit to full which is good for sleeping with kids in one room, useful and enough power outlets). It was very clean and we even got free cold water on arrival which was a nice surprise. There was a not too small fridge that worked well and was really cold and also the air conditioning worked very good. The location is very close to the city center and it was only three minutes to the ocean with a cool view over the bay. A lot of small late night supermarkets and restaurants directly around. We only made a night stop after arriving in Crete before we continued to a 12 day holiday on the island and therefore it was perfect. The staff was outstandingly friendly and helpful. We felt welcome from the first moment on. On departure they let us store our luggage (and it was a lot) for free for another three hours. We would definitely come back. Next time maybe for a long weekend in the city.
