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.).

Australiathere was a lift up to reception but then there was a little spiral staircase to the room. sort of like an attic room. very cute but a pain to navigate every time you leave and come back to room.
Very nice hotel. The suite was massive. we had a separate sitting area and a large bedroom. great location. 10 minute walk from train station. Lovely breakfast was included. had a little balcony that you could see the top of the Dome from.

ArgentinaIts location is convenient - though this makes it a bit noisy if your room faces the square 🫠
The hotel is a 3-star one but feels almost as a 5-star hotel The rooms are big and comfortable. There was a TV, a small fridge and a safe. The mattress was excellent. They clean the room every day and they leave fresh towels by default. When soap or toilet paper is running out, they will leave spare ones by default as well The staff goes above and beyond. People at the reception speak Italian, Spanish and English for sure. Everyone at the front desk knows about you and if you’ve made a special request The day after arriving we had to leave way before breakfast time and they offered to prepare a breakfast box for us. It had a bottle of orange juice, a fruit, a croissant, a yogurt, cutlery and napkins. We could also prepare coffees to go! In the lobby area there is orange juice, hot and cold water + a wide variety of teas and instantaneous coffee at your disposal 24/7. And in the morning they also add filter coffee and some amazing cookies too! Breakfast is served ok site and there are a million of things to choose from: - Coffee, tea, milk, Nesquick and water; orange and pineapple juice - Various types of hams and cheeses, and homemade breads; scrambled eggs and bacon - Strawberry, blueberry and peach jam; Nutella; peanut butter; regular butter; and cream cheese - Tomato, cucumber; a great variety of fruits - Cereals and granola; regular and Greek yogurt - You can have an espresso or cappuccino upon request - There are gluten free options available by default (the whole-grain gluten-free is amazing!)

SerbiaHaving a few desks in the lobby for work would be great. Many laptop-friendly cafes are close to the hotel, so it wasn't a big deal for us.
We stayed 4 nights in a hotel and everything was perfect. It is just a few steps away from many attractions in the city center. It was easy to check in - and check out. The room and lobby look wonderful with authentic style. Wifi worked well and breakfast was good as well. We would come again.

United KingdomThe only improvement would have been for there to be some tea/coffee facilities in the room. But there was free tea/coffee & juice available throughout the day in the drawing room/lounge.
Lovely grand hotel in a really central location. Staff were friendly and helpful at reception and also at breakfast - cappuccinos come with a little smiley face on top! We enjoyed Florence & the hotel so much we booked to stay an extra night.

United KingdomThere was scaffolding outside our room window which meant we didn’t have the view over the piazza which would have been beautiful I’m sure. However, this wasn’t an issue for us as we understand work has to be done and these things can’t be helped.
Our room was very spacious and beautifully furnished, with a stunningly painted ceiling. Everywhere was so clean and comfortable, and there was even tea and coffee making facilities in the lounge for guests to help themselves. The breakfast was delightful and the staff couldn’t do enough to accommodate us. We had a lovely cappuccino with our breakfast each morning that was topped with a smiley face. 🙂
