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 KingdomWe booked twin beds, however when we arrived late at night, we found it disapointing to be given a double bedroom. Initially the hotel staff told us they could only change our room the next morning. Fortunately, after some time, we were changed to a twin bedroom. A couple of unusual events were happening in the city during our stay. While it is not the duty of the hotel to inform us, it would have made things much easier for us if we had been made aware of these local events when we arrived at the hotel. It would be helpful if the hotel could make it their business to know of local events which may impact visitors experiences and provide guests with as much information on arrival as possible. - The visit from the Chinese President resulted in the whole Buda Castle and Fisherman's Bastion areas being closed off, if we had been aware of this we could have visited this area on the day before. - Roads were closed on the day of our departure due to a race. This meant our taxi was unable to reach the hotel. In a panic to reach the airport in time for our flight, my elderly mother walked to the metro and negociate the esculators with our luggage to reach an are where we could meet our driver. Whilst the staff were helpful while I was arranging where we could meet our driver, it woud have been very helpful if we had been made aware of road closures in advance. Budapest is sa beautiful city and we had a fantastic trip.
A Great Location. with the Paliment Building at the end of the street and only one street away from the River Danube. A metro station is closeby. The hotel is super, very clean, everything you need is provided. staff are helpful and pleasant. I would recommed this hotel to my friends and family and I would be delighted to stay here again if I am staying in the area.

Room with a separate a shower room with toilet and bathroom with a relaxing bathtub was top notch. The bed was firm and comforting for my picky back. The Sisi dining room was a wonder to behold. The lounge by the lobby was modern and stylish. I would definitely come back again.

Kind and helpful - Fabulous on site restaurant and the breakfast is wonderful in a large palace room that was a piece of art with stunning frescoes - the sweetest staff ever - as an American, Hungary is not as proficient in the English language so expect some language barriers more then more then other parts of Europe - but they all try their best with kindness

IsraelThe ergonomics of the espresso machine and tea kettle are slightly hindered by their current placement on the table, requiring a slight adjustment to reach the electricity point. Perhaps a longer power cord would be beneficial in this regard.
The breakfast experience was exquisite, set within a former dancing room that added to its charm. Each morning became a delightful affair, with fresh and flavorsome food offerings and an outstanding selection to choose from. Located near the parliament and just a few meters from the metro station, the hotel's central position allowed for leisurely evening strolls. The room was spacious, exuding comfort and elegance in equal measure. Service was impeccable, whether during breakfast or when arranging activities at the reception. One evening, feeling weary from exploring the city, we opted for the hotel bar. The cocktail served was exceptional, and we savored a tranquil moment in its soothing ambiance.
