How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

I didn't like the fact that the gym and spa were not open until 9 am. One of the main reasons I booked this place is that it has a pretty decent gym, so as an athlete, I can keep up with my training while visiting Budapest. I wasn't able to use the gym one single time because working hours are not convenient. The second thing I didn't like and expect from a place like this is that the Garage - basement elevator didn't work throughout our stay, and coming with a baby, that is a huge inconvenience.
Location and aesthetics of the place.

Great central hotel with modern clean rooms with style and good bathrooms. Entrance hall beautiful and frontage a reminder of its historical heritage. Breakfast excellent choice of hot and cold and made to order omelettes. Staff particularly concierge services very helpful and friendly. Central location with easy walking to most places of interest. Recommend driver service to / from airport.

The breakfast was with plenty of choice, but not good at all, everything too cooked, too dry, not fresh, we left after few minutes and went to buy a breakfast outside. We upgraded the room the suite with city view, very disappointing - only partial view for a small street, not worth the 70 euros extra
The location is nice and the room was comfortable

It would help if the room service or the bar/cafe above the reception offered more choice for a quick bite or for late dinner. Also, snacks on the mini bar were upon request through the room service and not available in the fridge. In our room the showe was a bit small and for tall male the shower focet a bit low.
The room was very comfortable, clean and spacious. Breakfast was spot on with many choices and staff was always there to clean tables and make room.

There are some demolitions going on at the moment opposite side of the road.
The hotel is in central popular location near pubs, shops, and night life. The hotel has an outdoor pool and terrace as well as an indoor pool with sauna. The breakfast was fabulous. The staff are welcoming and helpful. They made my daughter’s birthday memorable with a complimentary bottle of fizz and chocolate.

Front-house had a few staff with little to no English, always saying to us to ask for the guest relations to come to clarify us, wasn't an issue for us, but we probably expected more. Other than that, we have nothing bad to complain about.
The hotel lobby was outstanding, high ceiling and gorgeous areas. Staff was really helpful and friendly, even though we had a few struggles as their English was not the best. Interior pool, sauna included in the room rate, everything really cleaned, spot-on. We loved it.

We had a view to the back of the building. There was a crane doing work to one side. This was no fault of the hotel.
