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.).

DenmarkThe hotel was kind enough to upgrade us from a room with Mountain View to one facing the ocean. The staff were kind and eager to help and were also flexible enough to let us bring our own dinner and eat at their premises.

Hong KongThe restaurant/cafe only had ice cream and no other food in the day available but maybe because oug of season. You had to reserve for dinner too so needed to be organised and know what you were doing ahead. Nothing else wrong as it was a lovely place to stay. Thanks so much.
Our room was fabulous. The bath in the window overlooking the sea and sunset was amazing. The room was massive with his and her sinks and a fantastic view. The pool was great too with floats and the bar next to it. Beautifully kept gardens with flowers. It was right on the sea front which was ideal but very windy. Staff were so helpful and friendly and tried really hard to help translate things, book trips and taxis for us. We were able to higher bikes from reception and explore the town and markets about 15 mins cycle away.

JapanPerhaps it’s difficult to do for this kind of small hotel but since it’s located in the resort area (not in the city centre), it should better to have more options for dinner and lunch. Just only course menu is available for dinner. They sell some snacks and drinks at their shop but if they could serve some foods, even some simple snacks like fried potatoes, pizza, hotdog, edamame, onigiri and some drinks at the restaurant next to the pool, we could enjoy the time in the hotel even when the weather was not good. Driving 5-10 minutes to eat something outside all the time was not so good experience. We stayed in the Mountain View room. Since it’s located next to the main road, we heard the car sounds all the time.
Polite and professional staff, clean room, pool with some balloons, big bath with beautiful scenery, enough space for parking. I highly recommend to take a bath during sunset time. Overall, it’s value for money!

IrelandAlthough it’s facing the sea, it’s not a place you can swim. Quite an industrialised area having been built up with various hotels. Not much around here. Tattoos not allowed in the onsen which seems quite backward. Strange policy around having the room cleaned. Rewards are offered if you choose not to avail of cleaning but there are no recycling bins in the public areas to get rid of rubbish so the room needs to be tidied daily. Was a bit stressful having to choose which days we wanted cleaning right after arriving at check in. As always in Japan, less single use plastic would be great to see. Also I think this resort really misses a trick by not having the bar open throughout the day. It would be lovely to sit out on the decking in the evening if there was a bar and a bit of atmosphere. No vegetarian options in the restaurant either which had to be prebooked before arrival.
Rooms in the annex were very nice. Although there seemed to be some mould or dirt on the walls and ceiling. Nice big window looking out at the sea. Water refill station was a great option instead of plastic bottles.

JapanDinner is just so-so and it will cost some money to go to the roof to watch the stars. Note that you can see starts from the terrasse but lights from the hotel will have some impacts.
Breakfast is superb. And the whole hotel has a wonderful sea view and a beautiful pool. The staffs there are very friendly and would like to tell you about good places to go. The sofa in the room is also very comfortable and feeling so good just sitting there and watching the sea.

NetherlandsNo beach and also far from beach you can actually swim. Only restaurant available for dinner was a la carte and quite expensive pricy (depending on your budget of course) with reservation only.
Hotel was nice, breakfast was buffet with several options. Room was comfortable. I appreciated a lot the community bath, was very relaxing. We could rent bicycles and towels for the pool (bedroom towels not allowed). Bus stop is right in front of the hotel. Small restaurant/truck food less than 5 mins walk from the restaurant. Small gift shop with also drinks and snacks.

Loved the view of the pool against the sea, the sky on the west coast, sunsets, and paddleboarding every day. Also enjoyed the public outdoor bath on 3rd floor, and the pool! Staff were polite, but very little English spoken. Nice to have bicycle access. Also enjoyed the hammocks!

JapanIt would be nice to have more eating options. Breakfast is mostly Japanese food, Western items such as French toast, omelettes, waffles, fruit yoghurts, and more variety of fuit would be nice.
My room had a lovely ocean view which was very nice. Unfortunately, swimming at the beach was not allowed. I was unaware of this restriction when making reservations. Not having a car made moving around difficult. The hotel and garden are spacious and well-kept. The pool is very nice. The administrative staff was very helpful in modifying my stay due to the arrival of a typhoon.
