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 KingdomThe property was abit damaged on corners. Visible cigarette damage on walls and ceiling. Me and my son went to the Holy Shrine for around 45 minutes and waited for the shuttle to come. We ended up waiting around 50 minutes in 48 degree celsius heat with the sun in our eyes. We tried to call them before the Pick up time which was every 30 minutes and the line on their card did not ring even though i had an Iraqi Sim card. I looked online for the phone i called and my call was DECLINED! We went to them and asked them for at least compensation or even at least an apology for not meeting their promises made and they just shrugged it off saying nothing at all. My son ended up getting a nosebleed from the heat and he was very desperate for the toilet and we could not do anything for 50 whole minutes!! If it wasn’t for this then they would’ve achieved a better score but we had terrible customer service all way round. They don’t even care about you and didn’t have any sense of remorse in their faces. Furthermore, they induced a policy saying that there is no food from other restaurants to be brought inside. However they do not mention this policy at all except on the small wifi sheet and it is mentioned in bad print in ARABIC. So for anyone else that does not understand will not even be able to understand and it is BEYOND RARE for anyone to notice this. They made my son eat on a bench outside the hotel and didn’t even allow him to leave his food at reception for a second whilst he gets his phone. They told him to either throw it in the bin or eat outside!!!! Furthermore, one of the biggest problems is at the pool there was NO lifeguard. I honestly don’t understand how they are 5 star and “highly recognised” and not even have a lifeguard for kids who go to the pool. Anyone can literally drown especially little children. I don’t know how they assure that there is safety of everyone yet there is no LIFEGAURD or even SUPERVISOR.
The food service was alright.

United StatesFirst the fragrance in the hotel area was sharp and annoying. My room was changed two times. First I got a smoking room, then the second room was terrible due to the music of a wedding party in the second floor (I was not able to sleep at all). The third room's bathroom wall was cracked and a terrible smell annoyed us all the time (facility people came and claimed that they fixed it but it was not fixed. Hotel was far from Haram and one morning, the shuttle was not available at the time they said (every half an hour) and we waited for an hour for a shuttle. This hotel looks nice but it is not what you pay for. I also asked for a discount because I was not satisfied (which most of the nice hotels policies like Hilton include) but the manager refused and charged me the whole price although I had this much difficulties during my stay.
The only plus for this hotel is the breakfast. It includes most of the options I expected and better than the other hotels I stayed during my visit at Iraq.
