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.).

IndonesiaArrived at 2.15 pm just to find our room was not ready until 3 pm. The receptionist was not even cordial enough to say sorry about the mishaps. The room was dirty with filthy spots both on the duvet and sofa. Some specks of dirt are found on a few corners.
Breakfast was plentiful of options. The taste was good. Nice lounge on the rooftop with plenty of selection of alcoholic beverages and bar food.

Czech RepublicThe hotel has smoking and non-smoking rooms (didn´t even cross my mind that still works somewhere, my fault) and if you are unlucky like me - get a smoker room and are strict non-smoker...well, you won´t be really happy. There was no other room available and had to "survive" it overnight. Also, the rooms next to the lift are really noisy.
Nice hotel near the sea in Makassar. Big comfy rooms, very nice pool with sea view, fantastic breakfast. Close to everywhere (if this is relevant in Makassar). If you get a non-smoking room, I would recommend and come again.

SwitzerlandIt took 10 minutes to check-in, the guy seemed to be constantly reviewing the system. In the end, we did not get one of the rooms we had reserved and our two rooms were on different floors (not such an issue). We ate dinner at the restaurant and they served each meal separately. By the time the last meal arrived, my husband had finished his! Surely a professional restaurant should be able to manage this better. Also, definitely not the place to order a steak - the "medium/rare" steak was tough! One of our rooms was missing towels and soap. It took several calls/discussions before the towels finally showed up (the soap never did show up, our daughters used the shower gel).
Location was excellent. Breakfast buffet extensive and good. Price is very reasonable. Our rooms had a beautiful view of the bay area.

IndonesiaI made a booking of a room with double bed, non smoking room. It was confirmed by the property. However, I was later informed by the receptionist during the check in process that all rooms with that criteria were already full-booked (!!??). Then, I was kind of 'forced' by him to take the twin bed arrangement if I still want to stay in a non-smoking room. It was definitely not a convenient welcome. The breakfast situation was also a mess. The space was limited. The service was understaffed.
The hotel is in a strategic location - near several tourist attractions, decent coffee shops and good eateries.

NetherlandsOur room was located near the elevator and its sounds were quite disturbing throughout the night. likewise a party (probably in the bar) and loud guests made it impossible to sleep till early morning.
The Swiss-Belhotel in Makassar is perfectly located and the rooftop bar provides a view over the harbor and city. The staff are very kind and polite and the rooms are clean and comfortable.

NetherlandsRoomservice menu was very limited, with the food expensive and bad quality. With the crowd during Idul Fitri holidays the management failed to regulate.the elevator traffic: overfull and 20 minute waiting times. Stairwells and emergency exits were locked. A disaster waiting to happen.
Large room with a view over the bay. Walking distance from Fort Rotterdam and Losari beach. Good beds and shower.

SwitzerlandNothing to complain, Note that the staff we talked to only spoke very little english, however we were always able to communicate what we wanted.
Hotel is in good shape, staff was very nice and helpful. Room and rooftop bar is nice, life concerts everywhere (plese note that it is a smoking bar in case you do not like that). We only spent 1 day in Malassae so I can not really judge if loocation with regards to important places of the city is. There are boat transfers to the island close to the hotel. We did not see any close restaurants when we were out walking on the street. The hotel has a loundry service, not very cheap but all was done very well and wirhin 6 hours.

IndonesiaCLEANLINESS of the room: need to work on this. Ants were found along the tv and coffee table, accumulated dust on bed head and floor corners, greyish pillowcasing and dampness smell of greyish towels, and dried spots of foodstain in fridge. Pillows are too hard to sleep on that my neck hurt. Sofa needs replacement as the sponge inside worn out with spots on the fabric. ROOM SERVICE: Excellent service. Replacement of fresh white towels and thorough cleaning of the room was carried out immediately upon complaints. I appreciate the fast act.
LOCATION is very strategic. Nearby convenient stores; cafe Dapoer Sulawesi with reknown Nasi Kuning, morning Porridge and other snacks; Ati Raja, Ayam Goreng Sulawesi, Starbucks and etc. The spactecular beautiful sea view in the morning and sunset. Got good morning walk along the coastal areas. ROOM SERVICE: excellent service. Replacement of fresh white towels and thorough cleaning of the room was carried out immediately upon complaints. I appreciate the fast act. Suitable for family and business stay. Will comeback again and hope the hotel has improved the linen quality.

SingaporeThe smell in our room was not nice and it was pretty noisy (we heard our neighbord vibrating alarm + someone screeming in the middle of the night). The pool is full of kids and all lifts get completely wet (slippery!), the hotel should tell people to dry before heading to their rooms. Also, they should put a towel rack in the room. We had nowhere to put them!
We enjoyed the sea view room and the big breakfast buffet. We could spot the famous mosque from our room! There are eateries and more international food options around the hotel.

South AfricaService in the restaurant was not good. (see above)
The room was great with view out to the ocean. Fort Rotterdam is situated opposite the hotel, so easy to walk to. Staff were all very friendly. But I did not want to join the buffet for dinner (80% desserts which I don't eat), so I ordered a Mie Goreng, the only dish I had throughout my 4 weeks in Indonesia which was very overspiced and a complete waste of money.
