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.).

*If you are looking for a luxurious stay DKK is your best choice. 1. The rooms are super clean with great facilities and constant follow-up for any request you ask for. An example, i asked for a hair dryer and they provided it in less than 3 minutes. 2. The lobby and food area was super elegant. Hot water and coffee was available 24/7. 3. The breakfast was really satisfied. It was delicious and we enjoyed the different varieties they serve. 4. Concerning the staff (especially Mr. Sadr eddine and Ali tahseen). They were very helpful, polite, and elegant. They offered us a free dinner and helped in organizing our trip to different sites. In addition, we booked an extra night so they gave us a discount. Also, they helped us in booking our taxi to the airport with an affordable price. 5. The hotel is near the holy shrines (3 minutes walk) and in a calm area. * of course DKK is my only choice for a next stay.

CanadaThe hotel is in the outer security zone of the Imam Husayn shrine and I therefore wasn't able to get dropped off at the hotel by my taxi, but on the other hand it is extremely close to the shrine and so it is very convenient to visit.
I was treated very well and given a free room upgrade and lunch (which was excellent, by the way).Thank you to Mr Sadr Aldein for all your kindness and assistance in helping me with information on day trips from Karbala and onwards travel.

My second time at this hotel, brilliant location to Mazher Imam Hussain (10min walk) All Staff were helpful. Food was great too, good choice of buffet for lunch and dinner in main restaurant (extra fee pp, not too expensive which was good) Check in was straightforward and check out too as we had to pay at hotel (paid in dollars) before we left The Wi-Fi was not that great this time, but we had Iraqi sims with plenty of data for phones, laptops/iPads would struggle. Other then that, I will be coming here again next time I visit Karbala InshaAllah 👍

Abkhazia, GeorgiaMy family and I stayed on Oct 14, 2023 Very pleasant place to stay while visiting all the holy shrines nearby (7min walk to Imam Hussein's shrine). The rooms are very clean and so is the washroom. The hallways are nice and tidy. All the workers there are very kind and polite. Breakfast is served for free and the meals are fresh and tasty. They have a wide variety of western and Iraqi cuisine, so there are no shortcomings for anyone when it comes to having a hearty breakfast. Sadr aldein Hussein (receptionist) ensured my family and I were comfortable both during check in and checkout. He's very professional and proficient with his mannerism and work. He also is fluent in English, which is a huge bonus point as my family do not speak Arabic that well. Overall very excellent hotel and well worth the money to stay.
