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 StatesWhen we arrived, the sheets had a couple of stains on them and looked like they hadn't been cleaned well. It was taken care of, but front desk staff is hard to find. Nobody mans the desk and getting someone to answer the phone or come up to the desk to talk to us about the problem took a while. The phone just rang forever and when we went to the desk, we had to ring the bell a couple of times to get anyone to come.
We got upgraded to a large, suite style room. King sized bed, large bathroom, lots of windows. When we ran into a small cleanliness issue, the staff was quick to take care of the problem.

United StatesThe tap in the bathroom sink was positioned such that it was difficult to wash your hands without splashing water over the top of the cabinet.
Quick response by someone to assist when we inadvertently left a clothing item in the room after depositing our keys in the early checkout box. The individual responded quickly and was very cordial.

United KingdomEase of access means that our view was of a roundabout and petrol station, but free parking and short walk into Galway itself made up for that!
Spacious room with lots of nice touches (electric blackout blinds, double vanity unit, reading lamp, quality coffee machine). Very friendly and helpful staff. Great restaurant that was very reasonable for the quality of food.

United Kingdomthe lady bar manager was not worthy of her position. me and my wife travelled with a couple of friends and stayed at The Huntsman. on the second evening we decided to have a evening meal and a couple of drinks, which started with great food and service, but it turned for the worst as my one of our friends was denied another drink (it was 9.15pm). we asked to speak to said manager. she told me that in her opinion our friend was slurring and not fit for another drink and went on to say that they focus on selling food not alcohol. i explained to her that our friend has a speech impediment and was not slurring (which was embarrassing for him in front of other customers). after listening, she replied that herself and another member of her staff had made their minds up and that no more alcoholic or any other drink was to be served to us. DISCRIMINATION is the only word i can use to describe this behavior. This was the only dampener on our wonderful stay.
room, breakfast, evening meal, bar. basically all.
